Dr. Linda Hazzard
In this episode, we explore the disturbing story of Linda Hazzard, a self-proclaimed health expert whose dangerous fasting treatments left multiple patients dead in the early 1900s. Operating from her infamous sanitarium known as Wilderness Heights in Olalla, Hazzard convinced desperate people that extreme starvation could cure nearly any illness. What followed was a horrifying trail of suffering, manipulation, and death that shocked the nation and earned her the nickname “The Starvation Doctor.”
