I'd be curious what he looks like too ... maybe gungadinn can find him on the allgrooms site!

no doctor is going to give out diet advice online since they need to do a fullwork up on you before they do anything. can you see Dr Mark getting sued cause he recomended KImkins to a person with renal issues? I know there are many folk there who are of those 3 evil monkeys mentality but surely the folk in the know running the place can see that.

did he post a pic/ ther phrasing of his esentances is off a bit too for somebody american

Happenings at the cycle plan at the Kimpire. Someone who is losing steadily-2.2 on an Atkins week and 1.56 on K/E is now going to start the Atkins Fat Fast to lose even more. She is not even acknowledging this is for metabolically resistant folks who are not losing on Atkins. Those gals are trying anything and everything without any guidance. Again WAKE UP TIPPY AND GIVE THESE PEOPLE SOME HELP-THEIR HEALTH IS AT STAKE!!!

Dr. MARK? Why not post the last name - credentials - website? OMG at what lengths will Heidi stoop to?

I finally got some chores down around here - washed two vehicles and pressure washed the front of the house and did the windows (just north side). Now I can relax ..... DH is gone out for awhile!!!!

Grrrrr..the TT's response to the stage 2 kidney patient really made me mad! My mom was on a kidney diet before she passed away and I did a lot of reading about it -- it's very specific what you can and can't have. NO ONE at Kimkins (not even "Dr. Mark") is qualified to help such a person....and TT tries to guilt trip her out of a refund!!! I responded with a link to some kidney diet information.

He was thinking the Zoloft might help with the headaches too but alas they are not. Now I cannot take Imitrex or anything else except T3 which does help take the edge off and keeps me from vomiting. I will not be on Zoloft forever (hopefully) so what are the side effects and experiences from both verapamil and the topomax meds? What do you take for the breakthrough migraines?

I haven't had any side effects from the verapamil. In fact, it also lowers blood pressure. I take relpax for the occasional migraine I do get.

HoneyBee, Celebrate, have fun, and we'll try to type r-e-a-l s-l-o-w-w-w-w so you don't miss too much!

Why does Dr. Mark's lack of credentials, diplomas and other identifying info make me think of Dr. Nick from The Simpsons? Okay, let's say he really does exist and isn't a product of The Kimmer's Friend Factory. Wouldn't he give his academic credentials in his introductory post?

Could be that the good doctor is getting ready for a Quackdown when the deets are available.

Welcome to all the new Banned Camp members.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Dr. Mark and I have come here to help. For 20 years I have worked with all types of people, helping them achieve their physical goals:

¡ The athlete that cannot seem to take it to the next level.
¡ The housewife that can not lose the 20 lbs she gained over the years.
¡ The woman who wants to exercise, but the discs in her back give her such pain.
¡ The person who sees food as her only friend.

I'm sorry, but

Is there ANYONE who's dumb enough to fall for this nonsense? "Dr. Mark" is apparently a nutritionist, an exercise physiologist, a neurosurgeon, and a psychiatrist. He must be VERY old to have compiled all of these credentials!

Boy she really thinks people will believe anything!

You can achieve your goals. You can succeed in your weight loss. You can especially succeed in regaining your health!

Sometimes we get caught up only in the goal -- I want to be in that size 5 or I want to lose 60 lbs. Remember that it is the journey and the destination. With every day that you eat better, every week that you lose a pound, you are making your body work better. Your endocrine system, your muscles, your brain … That is what I want for you.

Bring to me your problems and excuses (yes I said excuses). Let’s work on a solution together. I KNOW there is one. Your life is worth finding it.

My name is Dr. Mark and I have come here to help.

Yours in Health,
Dr. Mark


I don't think trotting out a Chinese Herbalist without a last name or a website to link to for credentials or success stories is going to give KK anymore value or respectability. Nice try though to the admins over there...

yes - give a name and credentials. At least I was out there and verifiable.

Unfortunately, some of the folks still at KK are proving they will believe anything

Okay guys, I was gone all weekend. And look, you've all practically gone through ANOTHER thread. Almost time for #7!

There's no way I'm going to try and read through everything; that would take hours. Anyone willing to summarize a bit of the drama that's been going on? Any new discoveries? I saw that the "red dress" picture was found (I checked out Kimkins Exposed this morning), so WAY TO GO for all of you! I knew that would be the key picture to determining whether or not Kimmer was a fraud. Anything else big and important that I missed?

Now today is my birthday so I can't make promises that I will have time to get it done, but if at all possible I will try to get screen shots or download the webpage of those fake pic sites. But again it might not be today so PLEASE no one contact these sites.....ummm unless it is for personal reasons....:::clears throat::: I seem to remember Golite looking for a early Christmas gift for hubby.

Enjoy your Special Day !!!

Whatever do you mean? He gave his name. "My name is Dr. Mark." That's clear as day, Kim. And he gave his credentials: he's a doctor (because his name is Dr. Mark) and he said he's helped four people in twenty years.

You're such a nitpicker, really!

Personally Dr. Mark's writing style reminds me alot of Kimmer's - short sentences, very direct.

I think the people over at KK are in a state where they are so desperate that logic and reason no longer matter. Like a dog with a bone, or an addict with a crack pipe, threaten their source and it gets ugly.

I know from experience that the high of losing weight and finally having control over your body is powerful and addictive.

If I get on this computer when I first get up - that's it for the day. Especially in front of DH - it's best to be doing chores. Then when he goes off somewhere I relax. Don't get me wrong - he is definitely NOT a slave driver ..... but I feel guilty being on the computer all the time (especially when I'm just on this site).

On another note - I wonder if Dr. Mark is on the payroll? No doc is going to do that for $0.00....

[Dottie]

I wonder if Dr. Mark's first initials are E.Z.?
Just wondering....

I think it's quite clear they're H.K. er, I mean Dr.

[Peony]

How did anyone ever think to look at international/russian bride sites for the photos of Kimmer success stories? It's amazing that you are finding all these photos.
