I can't see why the boy's parents would object to coconut oil!
The website of the Weston A. Price Foundation has lots of great info on coconut oil. Also.if you're using honey, Manuka honey is famous for knocking out pathogens.

Diagnosed with mono on Wednesday of last week (and now not so sure). From a throat that was as red as Santa's coat with lots of white pustueles - to a very normal looking throat with just a few spots left over. Still has a slight nasal twang with a cough every once in awhile. Had him on 2 tablespoons of CS about 6 times a day in the early onset and now down to 2 tablespoons about 3 times a day. He is also taking the raw Coconut oil, with honey on top which he really does enjoy. At bedtime I make a steam sauna in our bathroom and he sits in there with me for about 15 minutes and then right into bed for the night. It is good his mom and dad are away since Thursday and returning tonight. I have been able to keep us the regimine with no interference (but with his mom's approval). I believe everything working together really did the trick to keep Sammy from getting much worse. I want to thank everyone for their help and imput. I hope his parents continue to use the CS (which they use so don't see a problem with that), however, when they see I have been feeding him the Solid Coconut Oil (even though he enjoys it) not so sure she will go along with it. I can only hope. Thank you and I hope everyone of you has a wonderful Holiday and a very Merry Christmas. Bernadette
