That’s a Lot of Enema: Linda Hazzard

This week on Caviar and Criminals, Dana walks Anthony through one of the most disturbing wellness stories in history — the case of Linda Hazzard.At first glance, Hazzard presented herself as a trusted “fasting specialist,” promising healing through extreme detox methods. But behind the doors of her Washington sanitarium, something far more sinister was unfolding. Patients who came to her for help were subjected to prolonged starvation, isolation… and an overwhelming number of enemas.As Dana unpacks the story, the red flags quickly pile up — wealthy clients signing over control of their finances, bodies wasting away under the guise of treatment, and a system that allowed it to continue for far too long. Anthony reacts in real time as the story shifts from bizarre to deeply unsettling.How did she convince so many people to trust her?When does “wellness” cross the line into something dangerous?And how did it go on for so long?This is a story about manipulation, control, and the deadly side of pseudoscience.And trust us… it only gets worse.Caviar & Criminals is a true crime and pop culture podcast hosted by Anthony Kurtz & Dana Parisi.
