  • Episode 696: Linda Hazzard & Starvation Heights (Part 2)
    Aug 7 2025

    At the dawn of the twentieth-century, major advances in science and technology brought incredible change to the field of medicine, enhancing and extending the lives of millions. Yet at the same time, a lax regulations and minimal oversight made it possible for countless medical grifters to get rich offering quack medical solutions to everything from whooping cough to cancer, sometimes at the expense of their patient’s lives.

    When Linda Hazzard opened her sanitarium, the Institute of Natural Therapeutics at Wilderness Heights, in Olalla, Washington in the first decade of the 1900s, she claimed her rigid fasting and elimination approach to dieting was a miracle cure for a variety of illnesses, both trivial and serious. For years, Hazzard operated what amounted to a health retreat for the wealthy, without any oversight from the state or federal agencies. In the end, Hazzard’s starvation cure resulted in the deaths of over a dozen people and her arrest and trial for manslaughter, but through all of it, she maintained it was a viable treatment—standing by her methods up until they ended her own life.

I have been following since I returned to school right before the pandemic and let me tell you!! You guys carried me through the hardships of working full time while studying all the way to graduation.
I can never miss an episode! The banter and side quests are so funny (I got a lot of weird looks in class because I was failing spectacularly at holding my laughter in (I still get looks when it happens at work, like yesterday))
Ash and Alaina I resonate with both of you so much you helped me rediscover the weirdo in me
I love you!

Keep it weiiiiird
