Why the fascination with Kimmer? #8

Dr Mark's Response:

The biggest clinical correlation to cancer has been obesity.

Really? The BIGGEST? Even bigger than say smoking?

Well, I didn't go to any fancy correspondence school or anything , but I am really surprised that any 'doctor', would think eliminating vegetables would be healthy for anyone much less a cancer patient. What about fibre and antioxidants? Vitamins and minerals to boost your immune system? How about we tell the stage III cancer patient to ease off the severe dieting while battling her disease? This is really scary advice, IMHO.

In a somewhat related topic...I was watching a program about weight loss programs and they were discussing a liquid only diet (like Medifast, etc). There was a woman on there who had some initial success with it and her doctor was saying how risky a VLCD can be. This woman was 18 and was seeing her doctor every THREE weeks to check her out, including urine and blood tests. She did lose about 30lbs in two months on it, but then her electrolytes got all screwed up and she was having heart palpitations and had to stop. Nothing to fool around with at all.

Interesting how her shyness seems to come and go, eh?

How are we doing on the fake pics? Anymore found yet? Honey???

I'm here!!!!! Well this morning - sprayed zinc oxide on the roof for the streaking - did two loads of wash - grocery shopping - visiting my mother at the rehab place. so I can't come over to help today! Zinc oxide spraying - hired someone - $250.00 I had to be honest on that chore!

We did have a scam aired on the Florida TV stations regarding a mother who said her daughter was sick and she collected money from people that were being generous. I think they prosecuted her and she is in jail - but not sure on that. That is just horrible! I can't believe people are like that. It's almost equivalent to insurance scams. Drives me insane!

Not necessarily so. My niece was born with an amazing head of dark hair. I mean TONS of downy baby hair. Soon after, it all fell out. Then regrew. Through her early years, she had a lot of dark, coarse hair like her mama's (my sis), but around age 4, 5, she started getting bald patches. By the time she was 9, she was completely bald EVERYWHERE--arms, legs, head, eyebrows. She's in the 30's now, and she still has no hair. Alopecia Universalis. (She did sprout tiny bit of fuzz when she was treated with cortisone for a while, but that didn't last.)

So, one can have hair, then something totally sets off the autoimmune process and, blammo. Gone.

Strangers often thought she had cancer, to the point that one time, at a Spanish flamenco restaurant, the waiter CUT HER MEAT for her. My niece didn't have the heart to tell him she was fine, cause he was so solicitous and meant well.

She doesn't wear wigs. Just lets her bald head go forth and to hell with the folks who don't like it. Much braver than I am. I'd have a collection of wigs!

He has this kind (If all body hair, including pubic hair, is lost, the diagnosis then becomes Alopecia areata universalis.)

Um, I have thought that soooo many times. This is the reason that we are trying sooooo hard to get her face on every news outlet we can. Because imagine your surprise when you see the woman you just held a fundraiser for on TV. Think about it.

The bald "issue" wasn't so much an issue to many of us, it was just another link in the lie chain. She's boasted before on her beautiful hair and skin. Of which she has neither. It wasn't a "pick on the bald kid" kind of thing, it was a "Holy crap she lied again" kind of thing.

That is called Karma. And we all know Karma's a b....well you know.

What's amazing to me is the fact that she must have seen the cameraman walking behind the news guy and she wasn't afraid. She might have thought that her website gained so much notoriety that she was being interviewed because she was "famous". Little did she know what it was all about. I'll bet the next time that happens she will hide behind her van.

You know when you've tried other diets in the past and you didn't quite understand something or wanted more details? What did you do? Ask a friend or try to figure it out yourself, right?

Didn't you wish you could ask the diet inventor directly? Well, good luck! Do you really think Dr. Agatston (South Beach Diet), Jenny Craig or Jean Nidetch (Weight Watchers) are going to answer any emails from you? Not hardly!

But we do. You can ask our admins any diet question day or night, both in the Kimkins Cafe forum on the Kimkins site or via Kimkins Private Message (an exclusive Members Only feature!) "

I believe this is part of the reasons to join Kimkins emails I signed up for to see what they were all about.

Dr. Agatston, Jenny Craig or Jean Nidetch may not be answering your emails, but is Kimmer still around and posting? I thought she sold the site? And how does an Admin really compare to asking Dr. Agatston, Jenny Craig or Jean Nidetch about the diet anyway?

LOL! What a crock. Admins = Kimmer?

If the page doesnt go directly to Kimkins site Traffic numbers, click the graph on the right. Looks like KK is taking a dive in traffic. TT shouldnt have banned the whole world!

Wow!! That's telling, huh?

IT was determined the cause of her death was the drugs she was injecting herself, because she did not have cancer. She was a perfectly healthy 30 something that was starving for attention who ended up making herself sick. When my college friend told me this I was shocked that someone would go to such extremes, but she had access to the medication, knew how to discuss "her cancer" because of her work, so it fooled many. Not to mention her being completely bald was enough for most to believe.

That's awful.

Kimmer states this clearly in two different posts that her portion of the proceeds are going to her foster kids. The other posts are from members reiterating this as well.

Nice job, Honey! I had forgotten about that.

[Katinsac]

In reference to the earlier post by Dr Mark to the Cancer lady....there was another one where the lady asked about continuing during Chemo and Tippy did tell her to follow her doctors orders on how to eat and she could go back to the KE plan after. So they are trying to give better advice on the site now. Wonder what Kimmer would have told this lady in June?

I am writing to give you first-hand info regarding Kimmers aka Heidi Kimberly Miller Diaz. Yes, those photos are of her in front of her apartment. Yes, she is bald and doesn’t wear her wig at home.

No, the photo of the woman in the red dress is not Heidi. Heidi is a 49-year-old mentally ill woman. She has served jail time for her cons in the past. This is just her latest (and most successful con) in a long string of evil behavior.

She has used Brandon since he came to live with her last year. He was living with his father and step-mother because Heidi was deemed unfit to care for him. His father moved to Washington to get away from Heidi and her constant harrassment of his family. Brandon chose to stay with his mother in California. He is an innocent victim of this latest con.

Heidi long ago ruined her credit and since Brandon has just turned 18, she now has access to his. Heidi has legally been on disability for mental illness since before Brandon was born. She has conned the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the foster care people, her own brother and anyone who will give her money. She has ripped off her ex-husband, impersonated his wife at their bank and many other scams.

She made up an internet story years ago about how someone stole her Avon products and money from orders. She made this up along with a sad tale of being a single disabled mother, blah, blah and got people to give her money all while her district manager was sitting in the hospital with her young son who died of cancer. There was no theft. She has ripped off her older son, his girlfriend and anyone who crosses her path.

She has been diagnosed as a dangerous sociopath (a criminal with no conscience), behavior Kimkins members are seeing now. She is smart enough to run a good con but then gets over-confident and messes up. Yes, the detective found incriminating evidence in her trash because she wasn’t smart enough to shred it. The photos took 6 days to obtain because she never left her apartment. She was on the computer for hours on end. When Brandon is home, she goes down in the apartment parking area and talks on her cell phone in her green van (yes, it’s hers). You need to quit giving her money and sympathy. She is evil.

What kind of a mother chooses to cram her apartment full of foster boys in order to collect money for them but won’t raise her own son because he takes up space she needs for a paying customer?

What kind of mother sends her son to school with notes filled with lies about missing school because she has “cancer treatments” when she was just too drunk to get up and get going? What kind of mother uses her son for her own monetary gain and risks his reputation and safety for her own greed? I know many of you don’t want to believe this is true but believe it! All of this Kimkins stuff just became known to me this evening.

The only surprise is that this time, she really made some big money. Please call the Corona DA and stop her. She needs to go back to jail. She has no employees, that’s why she’s on the computer all the time. There is no overweight woman working for her and there is no one in a wheelchair.

She works out of her two-story apartment, I would love to see a wheelchair go up those stairs! She is misusing her niece’s name (Vanessa Romero) as a “false” employee. She has no business giving diet advice. She has been obese for years and even had her stomach stapled years ago. She can’t manage her own weight, don’t let her tell you what to eat or belittle you. She is taking you all for a ride, I’m sorry but it’s true.

[boonec]

Isn't it funny how she never posted a pic, and does she really even have foster kids?

I don't really know that much about alopecia, except that there are different kinds. The reason I don't think it's something that Heidi has had all of her life is the picture in the white blouse. That does not look like a wig to me. That picture has been identified as her at a younger age. All the other pictures that I have seen, she is definitely wearing a wig.

Is it possible that she was doing a VLCD back when she was a teenager or in her early 20's? She says she was an overweight teenage welfare mom and had to quit losing weight because she couldn't afford to keep buying new clothes. Maybe she actually did lose the weight before she met her husband, then gained it again after getting married and never was able to lose it again because of trashing her thyroid with her earlier diet attempts. Just a theory I've come up with. We'll probably never know the truth about that, but I can see how it could have been caused by diet.

I can't say too much about managing wt... I am now about 148 or so... I am a true believer in low carbing but once I get off it is so hard for me to get back on track.

And,,, Im sorry, hello to everyone... It has been a long time since I have been here. I plan on getting back on track and trying to get to know some of you... all of us "old timers went to "kimkins" (dummies) and now I won't have anything to do with it. Glad to be back with the real losers!

Welcome back! I'm glad you decided to jump back on the band wagon and join us! Great group of people here!

I too joined Heidi's site and was banned for posting some stuff here at LCF. Thank goodness I never followed her WOE and in fact she was always yelling at me for eating cashews and having one or two rum/diet cokes on a Sunday....

Outstanding synopsis .... That says it all in a nutshell! She's a pathetic and sick individual who preys on innocent desperate people. She NEEDS to be stopped. How on earth can people in good faith work for her after reading all this evidence is beyond my comprehension!

It's too bad that someone couldn't post your information on her site. I know they risk getting banned but it would be worthwhile. Hopefully the administrators wouldn't see it for an hour or so..

[McLurkypants]

In reply to comments about the quiet here and elsewhere, I posted a link to one of the Kimkins scam blogs where the author was critical of this messageboard. I kept getting "server busy" messages when I tried to post it. I thought it was posted, but now I don't see it.

My instinct would be to just repost it. But maybe it was deleted on purpose? I have not been here long enough to know how that works here. So I will not repost it in case it was deleted intentionally.

If I was out of bounds, um, oops?!?!

Yup - and I think you originally posted the link on #7 Fascination thread. that's where I saw it! The poster sounded upset with the LCF members/administrators.
