Dr. Dante | Episode 2: The Rival

There's something I haven't told you before.

When you meet a person like Ronald Dante,

how did Ronald Dante become Ronald Dante?

My father was a civil engineer in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A wellness center some called Miracle Ranch, nestled in the scenic mountains of Southern California, promised a luxurious escape and a path to wellness through clean, alkaline living.

But beneath the serene surface, Miracle Ranch harbored a dark secret. The people who stayed there didn’t get better; they got worse. 

Through legal documents and candid interviews with former patients and employees, law enforcement officials, and affected family members, this series unravels the chilling true story of one man who convinced scores of people that cancer is not a cell but an “acidic, poisonous liquid,” and how his popular “alkaline diet” turned deadly.
