I believe that Dr. Mark and the Dr. on the link are one in the same. In the FAQs on his website he states in "What Kind of Doctor is He":

Licensed as an Acupuncture Physician by the Florida Department of Health.
Dr. ****** is considered as a Primary Care Physcian. His license covers a broad range of
therapies and testing. Included are all Manual Medicine and Physical Medicine modalities from
Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, and Massage therapy. Additionally, all testing and
imaging (xray, mri, ct scan, bloodwork etc), injections, nutrition and addiction counseling as well as
the recomendation of over the counter medications is included.

What Can I Expect From Treatment:
With a license that covers essentially everything except prescription drugs and surgery, Dr. ******
combines modalities from massage, bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic, chinese medicine and
osteopathic medicine to give you exactly what your condition requires. Most conditions can be
detected by hand but rarely further testing may be ordered. No two session are alike. Each person
is treated as an individual with the goal of getting better as soon as possible.

So What is Not Included in His License:
Prescription Drugs and Surgery.

The answer on his website match the answers he gave at KK about his practice. I think he was suckered into the KK program and hopefully doesn't have a clue about that real KK. If he does know the real deal shame on him.

He hasn't been on Myspace since 8/29 (I believe) so I doubt he checks his page often. But the pictures are the same as the ones on his website which does have an email address.

Dr. Mark T. Brinson's links to trusted health and fitness sites

BUT I think ONE person should be picked to contact him so he won't be bombarded, especially if it's not the correct Dr. Mark.

Really? LOL No, I haven't been over there today. It doesn't surprise me though, nice practicing Christians that they claim to be. I know NEY reads the LCF boards though. Hi Ney!! Though I know she'll never join in here. She's much more comfortable sitting in her own sandbox, throwing sand.

It doesn't matter how many hours you study, if you are not in a medical/osteopathic school then you are not going to have that degree. He was in a school for oriental medicine. There's no way he could get a medical degree there.

Those references are what made me think he is the kk Dr. Mark. I hope we can get some confirmation.

Dr. Mark said: It has been said for thousands of years "a Good physician should treat first with food".

He must not have been told yet that that "food" thing isn't going to fly at Kimkins!

I don't think we should jump to conclusions. Likely, all he knows is what he has been told. I'm quite sure Tippy would spin it to make kk look good.

I would wear Kimmers stretch pants if that's not him. Someone should make contact but I agree with an earlier poster just one person. Based on the advice he's given over there so far I do not think he is an evil doer like the ones there, otherwise he wouldn't be advocating fruit juices and forwarding questions about The Kimmer to Kimkins Chat. I am feeling sorry for the guy at this moment. I think TT rooked him in with her fantabulous stories about her own weight loss. We need to get the poor guy out of there before he ruins his career.

Where's Jeanessa or KiKi when we need them. Didn't they talk to Heidi's son's ex-girlfriend? I can't remember! I also think they could e-mail him at his work address. I wouldn't bother with MySpace..... If TT talked him into answering questions on KK's site she could have told him anything - painted a real nice picture and touted her plan. I'm sure he didn't do any research prior to saying yes.

He probably thinks this liaison with Kimkins is a good way to practice-build, develop a higher profile and help people. And yes, I feel bad for him that his profile will be built in such a negative way.
I do too. And I also feel kinda bad that people are dissing his credentials and his profession. I believe alternative medicine can be very effective. Just because he isn't a "real doctor," I'm not going to dismiss his methods. You know, chiropractors aren't real doctors either, and tons of people swear by them. I know quite a few people who have tried acupuncture and found it to be effective too.

And I think we should give the guy a chance to come clean before we go for blood.

But it doesn't mention he runs a marathon every other weekend. Tsk! Methinks Heidi's hyperbole is ... um, HYPER? Also note the short sentences . Hmmm. I'll have to go back. Thanks, Jayed.
WHERE was he a "director of rehabilitation" ???? That isn;t something a personal trainer or massage therapist would be

Yeah, I agree. There's no telling what he was told. I also believe in alternative medicine.
