Why would your car overheat and lose power when you turn on the heat?

Why would your car overheat and lose power when you turn on the heat?
Turning the heat on would actually lower the engine temperature. It's a well known trick if your car starts to overheat. Having the A/C on causes a power loss to operate the compressor, which would also cause engine temperature to go up due to the hot air from the condensor going through the radiator.
