DNP: Is it that bad? Please read

[bigwillie78]

I have been reading some articles on DNP and have a few opinions and questions(especially for the educated bunch out there) about it and I would like to get some educated feedback.

Assuming that you eat a diet that would be sufficient to combat the low blood-sugar levels(lots of simple sugars),drink lots of water, and take anti-oxidants, I believe that DNP can be an effective and safe drug. Although there are a high amount of free radicals in the body from fat breakdown, dnp's only side effect seems to be dehydration(other side effects stem from that including overheating, etc..). If you can successfully combate the dehydration with water and supplements and if you do not overdose( by that I mean take a stupid amount, ex:400 works well for me, 800 would be stupid), then is the drug really that bad for you?

Are there other things that I am not taking into consideration? I heard that it causes cataraks(I dont think I spelled that right) in rare cases, what would be the cause of that?

Also, why does the government classify it as a toxic and deadly drug. There seems to be other drugs out there that are much more harmful, including steriods( because the have an effect on so many systems in the body). Hell, I feel worse from drinking than I do from DNP.

I would like to hear some opinions on the topic, I really want to know why people are scared of it(if its used safelly) and is there anything that I am missing.
Thanks

Cataracts happen when there is a deficienty of glutathione in women. NAC and ALA both mitigate this.

More research finds that DNP is Ames-negative (does not promote tumors), has no harmful effects on the liver, kidneys, or cardiovascular system.

The risks I see with it are:

Dehydration
Overdosing (but even the max dose I've ever heard of is a third to half of the fatal dose, unless you have anallergy to it)
free radical release from fat cells (which is gonna happen anyway even if you burn off the fat the old fashioned way)

800mg of dnp per day is not that much, your blood concentration builds up to much higher levels then that if you run dnp at 400mg/ed for a period of 7 days. hence is only logical to frontload dnp with high dose for a day maybe 2 and then maintain blood concentration levels with lowever doses

you should know your limits, if you feel like no matter how much air you inhaile it just is not enouph, its probably a good idea to stop running dnp

I was going to do 400 ed for a week. What kind of front load cycle to do recommend Serge?

Used correctly I imagine you could call it safe. But there have in fact been at least one death that I know of from a person that used it incorrectly. I guess that's why it's labeled a dangerous drug.

Hmm....30 people a year die from aspirin...100 people a year have heart attacks from Viagra...So far, I only know of one guy who's died from DNP, and he apparently had an allergy (since the alleged 600mg/day he took wouldn't hurt anyone)

yeh smoking, but how many more people are there in this world that used aspirin and viagra vs. the number of people that use DNP???

after a week of running 400mg/ed your blood concentration is somewhere between 1200-1400mg so its perfectly safe to take 1000mg of the first day and then maintain with 400mg/ed; or you can try 3 day cycle running 1000mg/day 1; 700mg/day 2; 500mg/day 2

Yeah, because those are FDA approved (well, not aspirin). Just like today the FDA approved botox--that's botulism spores, people--for cosmetic injections!

My point is that the FDA is arbitrary, especially when swayed by pharmaceutical money, about what it calls "safe" and what it bans.
