"Two days back, I added a statement that was first removed saying it is an advertisement (for coconut oil). I use my real name and anyone can find where I am from, my interests, type of work and even my telephone number. So, since the reason given for deletion was not fair, I put it back. Next time it was removed by giving more acceptable reasoning. Now I am back to researching. It is indeed a very good thing that statements are vigorously checked before allowed into the encyclopedia. I wrote my statement assuming the earlier slack standard.  

 I came here only to check the melting point of coconut oil because the second jar I bought of the same brand name did not solidify as the first one did. Now I know that the second jar is not truly pure coconut oil as claimed. I was born in Sri Lanka and lived there during the time coconut milk was the base of every dish. There was only one cooking oil, coconut oil. Then in 1970s there was a campaign warning against use of coconut oil in favor of imported vegetable oil (and also margarine over butter). In those days, heart disease and diabetes were called ""rich people's diseases"". In my second half of life in America, we did not use coconut oil. Then when my memory started to fail, the doctor prescribed Donepezil HCl tablets after seeing steady decline in two visits. That caused waking time and dreams to fuse in me. He then asked me to read on coconut oil  not a prescription. My med student daughter watched on with no comment. I found and read Dr. Bruce Fife's book on Alzheimer's. I took 3 teaspoons of it daily for about a month with remarkable results. Two of my friends older than me started to do the same saying it is better to die with dignity than to become walking trees.  

 I told this story to illustrate that science authorities may not be the best and only source of useful knowledge, and that knowledge has wider utility. Social control is not the purpose of an encyclopedia. (What are we saying in the 'god' page?) May be top of each page can give links to scientific authorities to tell people that if they are looking for advice, those are the places they ought to go to. I would prefer the encyclopedia to be more open about showing available knowledge with ample hints that some are not scientifically affirmed.  

 Thank you.
