But what was truly scary was the support this woman had, from a wide range of individuals. This book looked at two rather naive sisters who fall under the spell of a very greedy woman. If her patient died, well, she took their money and moved on. “Dr.” Hazzard fed only broth to her patients, brutally smacked their bodies, and gave them really long enemas. Well, the story was definitely interesting, definitely gruesome, and definitely a little scary.īasically it was about a medical mal-practice suit. Unfortunately, one of them died, and the other barely escaped. They willingly accepted the brutal methods employed by this woman. Claire in particular, was enthralled with the idea of fasting.
They often tried revolutionary treatments.
When British sisters Claire and Dora Williamson became aware of Dr. After-all, she can’t promise it will work for everyone. Not all of their clients survived, but they often left their money to Linda, and that was okay. While “curing” people, Linda Hazzard and her husband Sam, became rich. She professed that all diseases, of both body and mind, could be cured through her revolutionary “fasting treatment”. Linda Hazzard founded the Hazzard Institute of Natural Therapeutics, a sanitarium in the forests of Olalla Washington, west of Seattle and across the Puget Sound. My Synopsis: (No major reveals, but if concerned, skip to My Opinions) Linda Hazzard and her bizarre methods of fasting to promote health (and of course murder).įirst, let me thank NetGalley, the publisher Thread Books and of course the author, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Starvation Heights by Gregg Olsen is the true story of Dr. This looked really good, and I have never heard of this woman. Reason I chose to Read this Book: I really enjoy both Olsen’s fiction and non-fiction.
