Dr. Miracle verkent een wellnesscentrum, dat sommigen Miracle Ranch noemden, gelegen in de schilderachtige bergen van Zuid-Californië. Het beloofde een luxueuze ontsnapping en een weg naar welzijn door een schoon, alkalisch leven. De leider, Dr. Robert O. Young, trok rijke klanten aan met zijn “baanbrekende” gezondheidsprotocollen en zijn vriendelijke, gezinsmanpersoonlijkheid. Maar onder de rustige oppervlakte schuilde een duister geheim. De mensen die daar verbleven, werden niet beter; ze werden slechter.
Aan de hand van juridische documenten en openhartige interviews met voormalige patiënten en medewerkers, wetshandhavers en getroffen familieleden, onthult deze serie het huiveringwekkende, waargebeurde verhaal van een man die talloze mensen ervan overtuigde dat kanker geen cel is, maar een “zure, giftige vloeistof”. Zijn populaire “alkalische dieet” bleek uiteindelijk dodelijk te zijn.
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.
