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.

Well done story of evil incarnate
Jan 24
Excellently told story of an evil man posing as a doctor and manipulating people just trying to find ways to make their lives better.
Host gives dangerous pseudoscience of her own
Apr 30
While in the process of trying to debunk Young (which is easy, he’s a con artist) the host gives out dangerous health misinformation of her own. For example, at one point, just because Young says that “chicken can cause colon cancer” the host says “actually, there’s no evidence that chicken causes colon cancer” but there are literally hundreds (maybe even thousands) of peer-reviewed and replicated scientific studies implicating chicken consumption in *specifically* colon cancer. This is a great example of the danger of intellectual laziness and the host should be ashamed of herself for propagating health misinformation for the purposes of entertainment.
Vocal fry
Apr 26
Impossible to listen to because every sentence ends with a vocal fry. Please listen to yourself and correct this horrible habit, it makes you sound like a brainless millennial, which you clearly aren’t
Worst vocal fry ever
Apr 21
I’m so sick of vocal fry. Stop it!!!
miracle cure supplement ads
Mar 11
Really? Enjoyed podcast. Didn’t enjoy the hypocrisy of advertising unscientific supplements at the top of the show.
Ads are wild
Feb 8
This show is great. But the ads the algorithm is attaching are for fake cures.
Loved!

Very interesting and binge worthy. Loved the host and narration as well as reporting.
Excellent coverage

Excellent coverage of yet another health scam. I binged through podcast story in one day.
Causation vs correlation
12/30/2024
Ok story but please learn the difference between causation and correlation. Also anecdotal evidence is not data. Dr Young is a joke, but this is very irresponsible journalism.
Dr. Miracle - Season 8
12/15/2024
Very interesting story. I am unable to understand why this sort of snake oil is so readily believed — pushed by influencers? searching for hope? searching for pain relief? People like Robert Young capitalize on searching people all for the sake of money, power, influence—no different than politicians and other narcissists. Thank you for doing such a good report and investigative job on this!
