Leanne2305,

Sounds very unlikely to me, too.  I use coconut oil to clean my face and neck because it is moisturising but I've not heard that it has healing properties.

Goitre is usually due to either iodine deficiency or immune enlargement. Coconut oil inside or out will not have the slightest effect.
