I got this as a free borrowed book through amazon prime.  There are several instances in the recipes that omit an ingredient in the list and then it appears in the instructions and there is no indication of amount to use.  These errors occur in Coconut Bean Soup and Coconut Fried Chicken.  Also reusing a marinade from raw chicken can not be used raw as a sauce.  Discard it and make a sauce from fresh ingredients.  Coconut oil is not an exact science.  There is still plenty on research that needs to be done.  The  good news is that eating and applying coconut oil is not exact either.  This volume gives plenty of ideas for topical, oral, and culinary uses.  Any cook or essential oil witch will be able to expand these  ideas to fit any lifestyle.  It can't do any harm but take the info with a grain of salt.  It may help some people but if there is no improvement or you think there is serious danger to your health, please visit your physician.  Coconut oil doesn't have a coconutty smell or flavor so get to getting substituting coconut oil in solid form anywhere you would use shortening or petroleum jelly and slightly warmed for liquid application  in cooking and health/beauty care.
