"Dr." Megan Heimer's lies, falsifications, & inaccuracies

[badgergrl]

I would like to know more about her "insane earning potential". Just curious as I went to a top 25 school and am licensed to practice nd my earnings are not so insane.

I have few regrets in life, but my biggest one that I think about often is my education. I hold the two highest degrees this world has to offer and I have an insane earning potential. After graduating from law school two years ago I finally sought God for his will for my life. He called me into the home. I was six months pregnant and wrestled for weeks with this decision. My education would be wasted, I had accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars in school debt, we were living on school loans which placed us well below the poverty level, and I had job offers and the potential to make a lot of money. Most importantly, society said I was a somebody. I was successful. I was in the 3% of Americans who hold professional degrees. But I trusted God, and in a leap of faith and humility, decided I would stay at home.

Megan needs to know that a poli. sci degree is *not* one of the highest degrees the world has to offer (coming from the holder of one). Or is that not the other degree she is referring to outside of the law school degree? So far it is pretty clear from this post that she did not in fact ever take the bar so, not an attorney or a lawyer. Just a JD (not that there is anything wrong with that) - but don't say you've passed the bar sweetie if you haven't. It riles up those of us who did.

and:

If you can’t afford to stay at home because of your house or lifestyle…then you sell your house, find a cheap place to rent, buy a reliable, cheap, used car, give up cable, share a cell phone with your husband, (save some money on daycare!), the list goes on. Please, do not tell me that paying your mortgage, utilities, and bills somehow keeps you from being able to raise your children. And maybe I don’t understand, but my husband and I have $500,000 in school loans, have lived on student loans, three times below the poverty level, and even now on one income, struggle each and every paycheck. We’ve lived with no insurance, we’ve lived on food stamps, we’ve gone without. But because this is God’s design and plan for all mothers, he ALWAYS provides. The money is always there and so is the opportunity to sacrifice the “needs” of society. I am also not big on welfare but goodness, if going to one income means you need help for awhile to figure things out, then by all means, get on it!?

$500,000 - yikes! Not sure how you figure out a 1/2 mill in debt but if you do "Dr." Heimer please let us know.

No thank you. I've vowed that I will not spend another moment doing the bolded. It was stressful and sucked growing up like that and no one in our household was carrying half a mil in debt.

Typhoid vaccine suuuuucks...

But not as much as typhoid itself, I'm pretty sure. 

Oh no I have to get that!

As pro-vax as I am I hate shots.

I had it and I didn't think it was bad.  I did a ton of pushups after I got it, though.  Every hour or so, I would do as many as I could stand, at least 20.  No soreness the next day at all.  Also used three lb. hand weights, moving my arm in whichever way it felt stiff, until it loosened, and then continued to do 10 or so reps..  I did that at least every hour, or more often if I noticed my arm stiffening up.

origami, get the oral vaccine. It lasts for more than twice as long. It's kind of a pain to take it--you take one every other day and I think there are four pills.

And they have to be kept cold (of course the day I picked mine up I had like 5 places to go after work so I was in a bar asking someone to fill up my bag with ice to keep my typhoid vaccine!).

Oh bless you! I had no idea there was an oral vaccine. I will gladly deal with that kid of pain. (That's totally something i'd do too - end up being in the car the day you actually need a fridge)

I think the difference is you need to take it farther in advance than you need to take the shot.  Maybe a month before you plan to leave?

I mean, this is sort of a major point right? This woman goes trolling around on the internet for.God only knows how many years, lying about being a doctor, lying about being a lawyer, lying about God knows what else in countless blog posts, comments, and self published "articles" and when we finally point out that she is actually breaking the law.by calling herself a doctor, suddenly CREDENTIALS AREN'T IMPORTANT. I feel like Megan's Mind is a strange and confusing place to exist.

I feel like at this point we should stop saying she's lying and just start pointing out that Megan Heimer has committed a felony by misrepresenting herself as a doctor.

Semantics and all.

Am I alone in laughing at her thinking her JD is one of the highest degrees the world has to offer?  Didn't we establish that she went to Cooley?  Is she unaware of the fact that it's not exactly Harvard?

The largest law school in the United States in terms of total enrollment, the main campus of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School is located in Lansing, Michigan. Despite its less-than-stellar ranking by the U.S. News and World Report, Cooley – as it is referred to colloquially – is one of the most (in)famous law schools in the country, or at least on the internet.

With an acceptance rate of nearly 80%, admissions at Cooley are hardly selective – last year, 4,570 out of 5,775 received acceptance letters. The admissions office is very forthcoming about its use of an index to streamline their decision-making process: a candidate is scored via the formula (LSDAS GPA*15) + LSAT. The full-time JD class of 2012’s middle 50th percentile LSAT scores ranged from 146-152, with a median of 148; Cooley’s official policy is to accept only the applicant’s highest LSAT score. LSDAS GPA scores varied from a 25th percentile of 2.80 to a 75th of 3.42. The part-time program was less competitive with an LSAT range of 143 to 149, with a median of 145. Its GPA range was 2.58 to 3.34, with a median of 2.97.

And here is Cooley's website where they publish their rankings and explain them.

And for good measure, here's a defamation complaint they filed against some bloggers who said some negative things about the school online:

I distinctly remember my dad telling me if I got mumps he'd go live with my grandparents because it was so dangerous for a man past puberty. He'd already had a vasectomy, so it's not like he was concerned about fertility. And of course we'd gotten our MMRs on schedule and with boosters.

I even got a booster about 5 years ago. I don't mess around with communicable diseases. Fuck that.

[kme]

Y'all are gonna hate me.

So I missed the original thread but have been keeping up with the subsequent one's. I decided to Google search her and came across her name listed underneath graduates at the Trinity College of Natural Health. I myself didn't believe it so I found her Facebook page that also lists that college as the one she attended.

But with that said, the cost of her entire ND program was $3500. WHOLE ENTIRE DOCTORATE WAS $3500. That's like 1 legit masters degree course. I didn't look into if it was a valid program or not.

But no matter what, she's still a wack.

Luke 5:31 "And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick."
He didn't specify ND or MD but I think it's implied that sick people need real doctors. Plus I hardly think the God of slicing foreskins sans anesthesia would balk at a needle prick.

Yeah I just noticed that too. Not only does she claim she's a doctor because she went to a naturopathic school, she went to a fake/shitty naturopathic school. When I googled the school name it came up under a website that lists "schools whose degrees are illegal to use in the state of Texas" It goes on to state that if you have a degree from any of the schools on the list you can't list that school to get a job, further education, etc or it's a misdemeanor.
