Dr. Miracle I 1. The Alkaline Diet

Sony Music Entertainment / Campside Media
About this episode

From his stunning avocado ranch in San Diego County, Dr. Robert Young devotes his life to spreading the word about the increasingly popular alkaline diet. Tony Robbins becomes a fan, and one of Dr. Young’s patients is featured on Oprah. Up in the Bay Area, a young mother of three, Dawn Kali, gets a diagnosis that leads her to Dr. Young’s ranch for a fateful stay.


Please note: the “microscopy” we describe in this episode is not representative of all microscopy. The individuals performing Live Blood Analysis self-describe as microscopists to lend legitimacy to their practices. In fact, microscopy in general is real science, but live blood analysis is not.
