Is Kirstie Alley’s new weight loss “program” a front for Scientology?

kirstie2
Kirstie Alley has launched a new weight loss program called “Organic Liaison” that primarily consists of vitamins and supplements and a $10/month “membership” program for access to vague “online tools and community support.” Kirstie has promised to come out with some kind of weight loss plan for years, and now it’s available. According to videos she’s posting on Organic Liason, it’s “the first certified organic weight loss and management system in the world.” The products have names like “Rescue Me,” and “Relieve Me,” and promise to be “natural” cleansers and to help fight hunger and cravings. Kirstie claims that they will “flood your body with the missing elements that make weight loss an uphill battle.” The thing is, the ingredients are typical vitamins and minerals and we have to take Kirstie’s word for it that the $12-$15 bottles are better than the same organic supplements available at the local health food store. Plus you can get all those “elements” in food if you plan your meals right and eat healthy.

That’s a good gimmick, but there’s nothing new about a bunch of supplements. Kirstie is a known Scientologist and many members of the group Anonymous are pointing out that Organic Liaison has the same address as a known Scientology front company and has advisory members that are easily identified as Scientologists. Are those vitamins and minerals L. Ron Hubbard approved?

[From comment on RantRave.com]

I would have a lot more respect for Kirstie Alley if she wasn’t shilling vitamins. You can bet that the “online tools and community support” are heavily laden with Scientology concepts. I’m not going to say anything about how Scientology hasn’t helped Kirstie so far. It just seems strange that she’s launching a weight loss program when she’s only lost 20 pounds so far, though. It’s also a real concern that they’re going to market Scientology to people who innocently try and buy supplements to lose weight.

The 230 pound star was on Oprah yesterday to promote her new reality show Big Life, premiering on A&E in March. She also put in a plug for Organic Liaison. Kirstie says in a clip from the show that she needs to lose 90 pounds and would like to get back to 140. (She told Oprah she’s lost 20 pounds in 7 weeks, so maybe she’s 210 now.)

I watched Kirstie on Oprah and found her mildly funny, especially when she was talking about how she wanted a booty call with Jamie Foxx. Foxx appeared via satellite and gave Kirstie a special message. The best part was when she went back to kiss the screen where he was on and he started undulating his tongue. The audience was roaring laughing. Jamie told Kirstie he would be her booty call and that “You’re absolutely beautiful. Don’t worry about how much you weigh.. Don’t worry about a thing, just be you. Fantastically you.”

    why would anyone give her money for a weight loss program? would you give tiger woods money for a marriage workshop?

    Of course it’s a front for Scientology. What I want to know is, if Scientology is so damned helpful and life-altering, why is she always screwing up? She’s lost the weight before, then gained it back, then lost it, gained it back – it never ends! She’s the last person I’d take diet advice from.

    Bitch please. You know you write “eat me” and “devour me” on those bottles. The only way I’ll be convinced that she had any hand in this in a personal way is if the bottles themselves are edible.

    I was about half paying attention to Oprah when Kirstie was on it. I did notice Kirstie being extremely vague when Oprah was asking for concrete information on how this “system” works. She asked Kirstie what she eats about 10 times before getting a response. If you’re going on Oprah to promote any somewhat-legitimate program, you’d think that’d be the first bit of information you’d rehearse. The whole thing seemed fishy.

    Whenever Scientologists “help” people, with vitamins or drugs (oh yes they DO) it’s always an inferior if not incompetent take on something available elsewhere, and lacks the needed complexity to implement it well. In any case don’t give your money to anything that supports this dangerous cult.

    If they understood how diet relates to health, would Suri- spawn of the world’s most famous Scientologist – and Katie be shoveling sugary treats down their palettes every waking hour?

    Health and Scientology don’t belong together in the same sentence.

    Looking at the product Kirsties
    Organic Liaison is looks a Recycled “Scientology”Elixir called Cal-Mag its mainly extremely large dose of Calcium and Magnesium and a citric acid. its like a heavy duty laxative.
    that the serve to people in their Narconon drug program and serve to young people in their Sea Org.

    exercising eating fresh fruit and vegetables and fiber is the way to go
    I wouldn’t consider Cal Mag Organic
