Re:Kimmer question 2 Minutes ago
Maybe I'm not looking at this the right way, Tippy. And of course I'm probably not as up to date on all the controversy as some (I simply do not have time!! I barely get in here some days, much less scouring the internet for trouble).

But why, if people have nothing to hide, professionals should not proudly display their credentials and CVs for us here? After all, we are being asked to take their advice in lieu of Kimmer who ( ) is no longer here. I think we have the right to know exactly who we are talking to. Kimmer, and you and most of the admins here make no secret about who they are and what they have done and why they are qualified to dispense advice to us. Why should Dr. Mark and the Fitness Guru be any different?

Why in the world would you or anyone else care what "others" are saying about you?
When you have right on your side, you should be able to stand tall and with pride, not hide in fear.

they do not want their reputations and personal lives ripped apart by the pitbulls

That is a scary statement, and maybe I don't get it There are always people who are jealous of success who will take potshots at you. Believe me I know!! But I don't let those types of people dictate how I run my business or affect my integrity and openness with my customers.

Sorry for the long post, I just felt it needed to be asked. Thank you for all you do!

One important thing to tell your physician when you get any lab work done is that you are on a restrictive diet.
Once you have lost the weight and get on a maintanence program you body will have a little "settling out" to do. Remember, for some of you, you were carrying and extra PERSON around almost. All of your organs had to work twice as hard. Now they are learning to adjust to the new you.
Hopefully you can all find a physician that has an open mind and can work with you to achieve you goal of HEALTH, WELLNESS and weight!



Um, can someone tell this idiot that those are symptoms of HYPERthyrodisim...when it works TOO FAST!!!!! Hypothyroidism is the opposite...you GAIN weight, you are tired and most times are either hot or cold! trust me, those little white pills i swallow every day are for a SLOW thyroid=hypo....losing weight fast and buldging eyes are FAST=hyper!!

man this guy is a real quack!!

Well, now we know Dr Mark can't even google well because the correct answer is all over the internet. Sheesh...that makes him far more dangerous and foolish appearing if he relies on his own faulty memory and gives WRONG answers.

Just heard an advertisement on the radio for a new (I think - new to me anyway) meal replacement shake. It only has 70 calories! Just think the KKers could actually do the shake plan and lower their calories to 210 a day! Right now the guy is offering 30 cans for free tool.

If some of these things sound familiar they probably are.

Obesity and skipping too many meals really does a number on this organ.
I was never obese, I weighed 165 when I started my Atkins. On a 5'6 frame that is realy not obese.
I didn't skip meals, I cut calories.
The goal is to get your body regulated, better yet, self regulating.Oh BITE ME already. My body will NEVER self regulate, EVER!
My thyroid is shot. Medication for the rest of my life.


Dr. Mark

Look at my gallery, compare the red shirt pic with the curly named pic.
Red shirt is when I *was* eating lower calorie, curly I was not diagnosed yet with Hashimoto's (low thyroid) but my face is a lot 'chubbier'.
It was because I gained back up from 143 to 155.
I'm now at 160 and am I losing? NO!!!! Because my metabolism is kaput.

Apparently no one told her an intelligent post, much like breathing and blinking, will get her banned.

• By Dr. Mark giving out bad advice that makes the entire acupuncture community appear uninformed.
• By Dr. Mark being there and looked as an authority to give out advice it may prevent members from going to seek proper medical treatment and is contributing to their health problems.
• Dr. Mark does not appear qualified to give out the advice he is doling out and may not be legally able to do such. But by using the Dr. title he is offending many medical physicians and other healthcare providers who are able to use that title and don’t abuse it with trying to practice beyond their realm of expertise.

Rhundt this is not directed at you personally, because it reads as if we are on the same page regarding Dr. Mark's actions.

I am asking this question to anyone.

For those who don't feel Dr. Mark should be reported, observed or discussed while he is on staff at Kimkins.
I have to ask how his he different from what we attempting to stop Heidi/Kimmer from doing at kimkins?
Some of the issues with Kimmer/Heidi Diaz:
• By Kimmer spreading incorrect information she was causing harm to the members?
• By Kimmer giving out bad dieting advice and calling it low carb the entire low carb community is/was concerned on how it would make the low carb community appear?
• By Kimmer giving out bad advice on how to lose weight she was preventing people from actually getting their health back and even contributing to their problems.
• Kimmer was not qualified to give out the advice and by using the names of Dr. Atkins and Dr. Stillman she was lowering their work and what they had achieved.

I agree that Dr Mark is FAIR GAME. He threw his lot in with Kimmer/Tippy and by now he is, IMO responsible for participating in the fraud. Man doesn't have a whole lot of sense, you ask me, and is already WAY in over his head. Bless his heart

[gibster]

Regarding the "hyperthyroid/hypothyroid" question:
Okay, now I've done it! I just told those "COLD" people to NOT rely on this "expert". Watch how fast I get banned!

[Mayberryfan]

Awww...I think y'all are being a little hard on old Tippykins.

Can't you just take her word about fitness guru's "credentuals?"





and a big to Amyb! Good to see you here! I will visit your jounal soon over at EL. Feel better!

tiggerr - I don't really understand all the thyroid and metabolism stuff, it is all new to me, so I hope my question is not dumb...what has caused that for you? Was it dieting a lot or just your body getting a disease? And you were in no way fat - I looked at your pictures - just pleasantly plump.

I do think Tippy's ex and "DR." Mark's ex should be left alone though.

Agreed. I don't care about Dr. Mark's girlfriend or whatever unless she is in cahoots with KK. Heidi is a crook who needs to be in jail. Tippy IS a fraud because she perpetuates this scam with Kimmer. Tippy is laughing now and feeling the highs of her power trip over at KK, but her day in court is coming as well.

There are two reasons people are pissed about Kimkins.

-fraud
-safety concerns about her diet

Until both are addressed, I don't think anyone's job is finished.

Oh, be assured that she knows very well all about him, and is at the very least guilty of omission - for whatever curious reason(s). Hmmm....so what's to hide?

Can anyone verify this please?

And I think we can safely say that the "new" diet over there isn't kimkins anymore because "if you tweak it, it isn't kimkins".

The new diet is just as stupid as the old diet. Cycle a week of Atkins with a week of kimkins? Is this even going to work for a new person just signing up for the diet. We know that TT cycled it to break her stall, but that is all that it was good for. She can't even maintain on her own plan if she is gaining and losing the same 4 or 5 pounds each week. That is just stupid.

So I get it, when Dr. Mark says "more later" he's not googling answers, he's too busy fishing

After doing some research the finger can be pointed at the low calorie/ low carb diet I was doing for a short while.
My FIL passed away in May of 2004 and I slowly started gaining in December of that year.
By 2005 I had all the symptoms but it was thought to be menopause ( I was 43)
April of 2006 I was daignosed and the rest is history.
The meds have worked for me and I'm coming back from a lot of the symptoms, the weight is the hardest.

Well written post Teresa. Just to clarify, I am not the person who contacted Dr. Mark directly.

Gout score 1, Flapjack arms zip, but the score of 1 is not accredited To Dr. Mark.

Now I gotta watch it. On one of my little searches I saw "2 viewing" but only my handle was present.

There is a ghost, and I am sure not to leave myself in an area for too long, as someone could find the post and see who is still lurking in there.

Here is a recipe for homemade Pedialyte. It is very important for babies and children not to become dehydrated when they're sick! Use instead of juice or milk for diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. This will not aggravate a sick tummy.

2 quarts water
1-teaspoon baking soda
1-teaspoon salt
7 Tablespoons sugar
1 packet Sugar-Free Kool-Aid
1/2-teaspoon salt substitute (see below for a free sample)

The salt substitute and Kool-Aid are optional. Store in the refrigerator. Be creative; use your special Kool-Aid to make ice cubes so it will stay cool in their bottle or sippy-cup. Or, insert toothpicks into your ice cubes before freezing and make homemade popsicles.

I agree he is dangerous, because it is better to have no information and a member go seek the information themselves or ask their own physician, then to have the wrong informaion given.

More harm than good is what I have seen thus far.
