He doesn't recomend using coconut oil bc of the saturated fat and there hasn't been enough "study." So many people, even those interested in alternative health and medicine, lap up what this guy says and so much of it is very close minded and uninformed.

must be a do-do head not to recognize the benefits!

Weil is only an MD, correct? I dont believe he has education on natural health, i could be wrong

[samariah]

im not sure. i just know that ive read his articles in mainstream magazines like prevention, self, etc and they always refer to him as some alternative medicine leading figure or something. whatever that is supposed to mean. personally, i think he's closed minded.

This doctor is very big in the alternative health forum. I believe he explains it that he traveled the world to study international means of healthcare, which includes all the old, natural types, and he incorporates all the best in his practice. He is not a mainstream MD. Some of his books are good. I do not know what he thinks of raw, tho. I have read various opinions on coconut oil. Just as with a lot of alternative issues, not everyone agrees at all times on everything.
