""IMHO, DNP is a poison and not a drug.
Unless you KNOW the purity of the compound you are taking you can easily overdose yourself. To top it off, there's a large interindividual response to the stuff (some will die with a dose that others tolerate).
I've personally looked after 2 patients who took DNP that was overdosed. One is profoundly brain damaged and institutionalized forever, the other is 6 feet underground. The second is better off than the first, IMO.
If you took 10 gm of test/week, you'd take a long time to get sick and even then, I'll bet you wouldn't die for years. I wouldn't even be surprised if some individuals probably didn't even die prematurely.... unlike DNP.
Am I prejudiced against DNP? Probably. I've seen horrible drug overdoses in my career--- the majority do well, believe it or not. But watching these 2 young, previously healthy people seize continuously and melt away despite our efforts (even cooling on cardiopulmonary bypass-- Heroic by all measures!) then seeing the horror story final outcome will permanently stamp "DO NOT DO" in my brain regarding DNP.""
