Coconut oil got a fair share of bad press in the 1980s on the claim that saturated fats are unhealthy. But did its detractors and the media miss something important? As with the coconut itself, it takes some work to get to the heart of the matter -- so we invited naturopathic doctor and coconut oil guru Dr. Bruce Fife to help us crack open the shell of the mysterious island fruit. Dr. Fife, the author of Coconut Cures, Coconut Water for Health and Healing, and The Coconut Oil Miracle, makes a compelling case for the healing properties inherent to coconut, which has long been used in traditional Asian and Pacific medicine. Some Pacific populations consider it a miracle cure; its broad applicability in medicine makes it difficult to argue. Coconut has been shown to be strongly antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal, and notably improves the functioning of many glands and organs; it supports dental, respiratory, and digestive health; the list goes on and on. Maybe the real question is, "What can't coconut do?" Don't miss this interview as Dr. Bruce Fife sheds new light on one of nature's most misunderstood gifts.

I struggled with a tough cold, tried everything then learned of coconut oil. Took it yesterday and that afternoon I was astonished. Today I am convinced it will be a long time that I`ll find anything else that matches. It is a miracle food.
