What to say to nay-sayers? (long)

[Guest guest]

Hello, I'm new here :-)

Some background to my question: I have been using VCO for about a

month. My best friend, who just came back from Wyoming and crashed at

my apartment for a couple nights, completely freaked out when she saw

me putting it in my morning oatmeal. We have discussed, in the past,

the different types of fats (this was a couple years ago); and how,

according to her nutrition class, the more solid a fat/oil is at room

temp, the worse it is for you, etc. etc.

So of course her reaction to me using VCO was totally predictable, and

very fanatical. " Oh my god, that's so disgusting, it's against common

sense, I can't believe you're doing that, " etc. etc. I gave her some

simple reasons (because my mom has my copy of the Coconut Oil Miracle,

or I would have let her read it)and stated the improvements I've

noticed in my overall well-being, but she still wasn't convinced.

I'm not trying to " proselytize " my friend, I certainly don't want to

shove my point of view down her throat, but I just want her to stop

freaking out about it.

I guess my question is: what are some quick and easy factoids that I

can tell her when she asks me what the heck I think I'm doing (LOL)

that, while maybe not changing her mind, will at least let her see

that I truly believe what I'm doing is good?

I also told her that Bruce Fife is a Naturopathic Doctor, and she said

" oh well I already don't believe it! " . I thought N.D.'s had to go

through even more schooling and training than regular M.D.'s. And I

know that there are other doctors out there who are VCO advocates.

What should I tell her on that count as well?

Full of questions,
