No such "researches" have been published supporting the above assertion in the medical literature. There is only a brief message in 1999 that a study to test this hypothesis would be started in the Phillipines. There is no documentary evidence in the medical literature since then that the study was ever undertaken and completed. The rest of the medical benefits of coconut reported in this post also appear to be dubious or dangerously false.
