A wellness center some called Miracle Ranch, nestled in the scenic mountains of Southern California, promised a luxurious escape and a path to wellness through clean, alkaline living. Its leader, Dr. Robert O. Young, attracted wealthy clientele with his “groundbreaking” health protocols and friendly, family-man persona. But beneath the serene surface, Miracle Ranch harbored a dark secret. The people who stayed there didn’t get better; they got worse.

Through legal documents and candid interviews with former patients and employees, law enforcement officials, and affected family members, this series unravels the chilling true story of one man who convinced scores of people that cancer is not a cell but an “acidic, poisonous liquid,” and how his popular “alkaline diet” turned deadly.

This is a parody right?

Right?

Typical entrapment story

Decently covered story about a US traitor that was planted by the liberal fbi to scare Americans away from attempting to the very thing they staged.

djeieksnrig ,

True Crime that isn’t Murder of the week

One of the best podcasts that does a season long story, typically about criminals but as the theme says, it’s really anyone with a story about deception. Each season may have a different journalist, but all are very well researched and produced.
