Challenge Proposal for IBM Watson: Coming up with Lorenzo's Oil

I would like to see IBM Watson come up with Lorenzo's oil with the medical literature that was available in 1986. Since the parents of a sick boy came up with this treatment, all on their own, by relentlessly searching through the medical literature available at the time, I feel that this should be a good task to gauge Watson's abilities given that it is very text-oriented and health-focused nowadays.
