fact: during the Second World War, there was a marine biologist who joined the
Marine Corps when the war broke out. He became a combat medic and he had a patient on Guadalcanal who was going to die without extra blood plasma. But there was little the former marine biologist could do since the division's supply of blood plasma had been destroyed in a grenade explosion. So the medic injected coconut milk into the soldier and he survived, not just the battle but the whole war. He
survived because of the mrine biologist's long hours of research and discovery, he found out that 91% of the proteins found in coconut milk are found in blood plasma.
