Marlo, I was thinking like you then I started reading and researching about Concilliator's view on DNP. He's probably the most knowledgeable (sp?) in the world regarding DNP. Yes it can be dangerous, but IMHO I'll take some DNP & ECA over Clen/T3/etc. after researching them all.
In all honesty, it's been almost 2 weeks since I'm on DNP and the "worst" sides I got are intense sweating and troubles sleeping well sometimes. It's not bad, I don't feel shaky or feel like my heart is over-working. It's only uncomfortable but the results are great and DNP is anti-catabolic which is one of the main reason why I chose DNP over other fat burners.
From my personal experience, I think people don't listen to their body enough and try to over do it. Look at Undead, he's a smart guy because he realized his body can't deal with DNP in it without having some bad shit happening, so he stopped it. But I know for a fact that MANY people would be like "Oh I'll just deal with it and continue!!!1" and bam they start getting fucked up side effects like losing vision and other things. You also need to make sure your source is top notch pharma grade quality (or close to) and from what I've read, it's mostly the people taking the non-crystalized DNP that get bad side effects.
Anyway, you NEED to do your research before using anything (especially DNP) and know what to do when certain situations arrive AND listen to your body ffs. This is for everyone btw, not just those taking DNP.
care to post a link to the article you read? and also, how can you say that DNP is safer than T3 ? Sure clen is pretty dangerous too, but even clen has been created for MEDICAL use ( for asthma,but mostly now used for horses during races)
"2,4-Dinitrophenol is a yellow, crystalline solid that has a sweet, musty odor. It sublimes when carefully heated and is volatile with steam. It is soluble in ethyl acetate, acetone, chloroform, pyridine, carbon tetrachloride, toluene, alcohol, benzene, and aqueous alkaline solutions.[1] Its crystalline sodium salts are also soluble in water. It forms explosive salts with alkalies and ammonia, and emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition.[2] It is incompatible with heavy metals and their compounds.

Commercial DNP is primarily used for scientific research and in manufacturing. It has been used at times to make dyes, other organic chemicals, and wood preservatives. It has also been used to make photographic developer,
explosives, and pesticide

DNP is considered an important environmental contaminant by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. It has been found in 61 of 1400 priority sites that need clean-up of industrial waste. It can enter the air from automobile exhaust, burning of certain industrial substances, and from reaction of nitrogen in air with other atmospheric chemicals. The major site of degradation is the soil, where microorganisms metabolize it.
However, the effects of DNP on anaerobic micro-organisms are still largely undetermined. Some studies suggest that there is anaerobic toxicity due to a reduced methane production.
I mean how can you say that such a CHEMICAL ( you cant even call it a drug, its a chemical) is safer than T3, which is MADE by your body, or CLEN which is designed for medical use?
and as for clen, the recommended doses for men is 40mcg, and not to be exceeeded by that. But bodybuilders start off with 40-60mcg, and work there way upto 150-250mcg... thats 4-6X the recomennded dose, no wonder why people give clen a bad rep...
personally i will take T3& ECA over clen or DNP , no matter how fat i get ... some things are just not worth it.. i refuse to see DNP as a medicine/drug... its a chemical, which happens to aid in fat burning... its no different than someone finding out for example drinking 8oz of paint thinner will increase you MR by %250... sure it will work great, but paint thinner is not designed for weight loss, even though it work ( in the context of my example)
