Coconut oil for dog's skin?
SIL swears by coconut oil for dog's skin and coat. Says it fights yeast infections and makes their coats soft and shiny. She mixes it with their food. Thoughts?

I'm not going to get into a philosophical argument when your position is obviously so entrenched. If you can give evidence more than anecdotal with your dog(s) or a friends dog or an internet web site, please have at it.
It's just that real world situations are not as black and white and not as easily solved as you suggest.
BTW, 3 year vaccination protocols have been the accepted standard of care in dogs and cats for over 10 years now, so your argument isn't supported (at least in many practices).
Tongue firmly in cheek: I guess I wasted 4 years in college, 4 more years in vet school and 37 years in practice when all that was needed to have a happy, healthy long lived animal was to feed raw and don't vaccinate.
