I liked Weil back before he got into " complimentary medicine " . Now

he says it is OK to poison the body with chemo so long as one adds

vitamins & herbs. Weil sold out to the Pharmaceutical industry. I

do not believe him no matter what he says.

their benefits to both skin and hair. The lauric acid found in coconut oil is

available in a wide variety of skin and hair care products, including body and

facial cleansers, soap and sunscreens. Clinical research supports the safety of

these products in general, and the utility of coconut oil to help moisturize

skin in particular.

Dr. Weil is not an alternative doctor. He is a fraud who makes a living

straddling the fence and is lost in the fog.. This is just one of many

examples of his ignorance.

Never liked him... what did you see in him Alobar??? I always saw him

as a charlatan who talked out of both sides of his mouth.

I stopped listening to Dr. Weil years ago---he was a " novelty " in

alternative medicine when alternative medicine first started getting any press,

but

after awhile, some really good alternative docs started saying some really

good alternative things and it made Dr. Weil seem more tied to

mainstream--with just a " little twist " ........

I put him in the same category as Dr. Oz---I do see benefits of both of

them---to people who are starting from a place of not caring or knowing

anything about good health at all, they at least get a message of learning

basics, but for those in the know, we realize there are more steps to be taken

along the path called " alternative " , natural, and good for you----and

mainstream medicine for me is still just one baby step beyond saying vitamins

are

okay....(smile)....

that the spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule

Jim, I remember when Dr. Weil first started---it was he who got me

interested in any sort of what was known as an alternative approach........I

don't

think he is a bad person, I don't think he is a charlatan, I just think I

(and many others like me) have evolved to a better place than he is right

now.........You know, having different opinions really is a good thing! It

inspires us to all think as we choose.

He is good for those people like me when I first started being aware----I

live in a community of over 55's----I am the only one in my village who

even knows what homeopathic is, who uses coconut oil (when I mentioned that to

my neighbors they all think it's bad for you like Dr. Weil says)........

learning is a process, and you have to begin somewhere.......for me it was

Dr. Weil.......he started me on a journey of questioning medical

authority---it was a good thing and I am very grateful........he did such a

good job

of instilling that in me, I went even further into alternative medicine

and that is my primary form of care now..............

So don't put him down so harshly---he has served a purpose and will

continue to inspire people who need inspiration, and then (hopefully) will also

go further beyond him (smile).....He gets you to thinking, which a lot of

people don't....

I have read that he sold out to the establishment long time ago. I used to

read/follow his info duringthe 90's. I believe the American Soy Association got

to him.

It was the Soy Association that put out the propoganda smeare campaign in the

60's that convinced the manufacturers to go with their cheaper, processed and

contaminated oils. You should read how it is processed.

Coconut oil has no positive role in a healthy diet. Because it is a highly

saturated fat - one of the few saturated fats that doesn't come from animals -

coconut oil can raise cholesterol levels. In the past, coconut oil was widely

used in movie popcorn, candy bars and commercial baked goods, but has been

phased out of many of these products due to consumer concerns about the health

effects of consuming tropical oils. While there is still debate about the

hazards of dietary saturated fats, using cosmetic products containing coconut

oil is another story. Although I prefer skin care products with natural

anti-inflammatory activity, some components of coconut oil have been studied for

their benefits to both skin and hair. The lauric acid found in coconut oil is
