Post by: BodyConnoisseur on September 17, 2014, 12:28:20 AM
So words going around on facebook 4 of Matt Porters clients were hospitalized and 1 died due to DNP. Details still very vague but I heard the kid was following directions given to him. His kidneys failed and he died

From Noel Fullers FB, Him and Matt have had a known rivalry

Gotta disagree man. Talked with him quite a bit, was very helpful, my wife and I both wound up hiring him because of that, he took us on for a combined rate of next to nothing compared to what others charge, and hes been extremely good to work with.

P(Neither of us are competing, i wanted to get down to ~10ish% and my wife was interested in getting into quasi-bikini shape).

We both burned out after dieting for so long and needed a fresh direction and ideas to change things up. I dont regret it at all.

You just have to deal with him one on one, dude is one of the busiest guys ive ever talked to, he runs his own gym, works 7 days a week, sometimes 12 hrs a day training people and getting clients ready to compete.

Agreed

Bodybuilding is a pharmaceutical experiment with an element of lifting weights and some food alterations thrown in.

I heard a lot of middle eastern guys like DNP. This is obviously unconfirmed on my end, but from what I've heard the high-carb "gurus" like to use DNP, which makes sense.
I like going low carb and catching up with ECA if I'm behind. I agree, DNP is completely unnecessary. So many safer(ish) alternatives such as t3 (is still dangerous if misused) and clen (the worst I've heard is cramps, but if they get bad enough it'll cramp your heart  :-\ ).

Yes, but only because its more readily available and easier to get in that country....also cheaper.  Their bodies can also withstand higher amounts of heat although a lot of them still end up killing themselves.


ECA stack with a touch of yohimbe is all you really need along with dieting.  DNP is a shortcut way and quite dangerous....even if it doesn't kill you, its still fucking up your heart, liver, and kidneys for future issues

Dieting aid

DNP was used extensively in diet pills from 1933 to 1938 after Cutting and Tainter at Stanford University made their first report on the drug's ability to greatly increase metabolic rate.[3][4] After only its first year on the market Tainter estimated that probably at least 100,000 persons had been treated with DNP in the United States, in addition to many others abroad.[5] DNP acts as a protonophore, allowing protons to leak across the inner mitochondrial membrane and thus bypass ATP synthase. This makes ATP energy production less efficient. In effect, part of the energy that is normally produced from cellular respiration is wasted as heat. The inefficiency is proportional to the dose of DNP that is taken. As the dose increases and energy production is made more inefficient, metabolic rate increases (and more fat is burned) in order to compensate for the inefficiency and meet energy demands. DNP is probably the best known agent for uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. The production or "phosphorylation" of ATP by ATP synthase gets disconnected or "uncoupled" from oxidation.

The factor that limits ever-increasing doses of DNP is not a lack of ATP energy production, but rather an excessive rise in body temperature due to the heat produced during uncoupling. Accordingly, DNP overdose will cause fatal hyperthermia. In light of this, when it was used clinically, the dose was slowly titrated according to personal tolerance, which varies greatly.[6]

Case reports have shown that an acute administration of 20–50 mg/kg in humans can be lethal.[7] Concerns about dangerous side-effects and rapidly developing cataracts resulted in DNP being discontinued in the United States by the end of 1938. DNP, however, continues to be used by some bodybuilders and athletes to rapidly lose body fat. Fatal overdoses are rare, but are still reported on occasion. These include cases of accidental exposure,[8] suicide,[7][9][10] and excessive intentional exposure.[9][11][12]

We're dealing with illegal drugs here and in this case literally a poison. They knew the risks. People need to accept responsibility for the illegal drugs and poisons they choose to put in their own body.

Damn near everyone in the bbing world knows dnp is dangerous. They played dice - one crapped out. Its fucking sad but they made their choice.

I don't want anyone to get into any legal trouble - not the users or the guru who recommended it.

Individual responsibility.

no way is nubain anything like 'liquid heroin". no way.

secondly, you can't OD on nubain. you can shoot the entire 10cc bottle IV and not die, much less experience any 'greater' effect than shooting 1cc.

Hopefully this will be my only response on this issue.

1 year ago the trainer starting these rumors threatened to do anything to take me down when I regrettably called him out on MD forums (this was an isolated incident) for claiming a client who didn't use his nutrition advice. It was really nothing, but gave him reason to unleash his wrath on me. Remaining neutral, never ranting, or speaking ill of others and staying positive is something I pride myself on. All the while he has still continuously for over 12 months slammed me any way, shape or form via social media, forums, others in person, harassing my clients...etc..

Regarding Robert, who passed recently -- I trained him for 8 weeks before the Oregon State Championships. I 100% ASSURE everyone the plan he was given did not include DNP, nor T3 or even doing much cardio AT ALL. He worked construction, and wasn't on very low carbs etc.. He was using whatever supplements he was comfortable with prior to working with me and told me he was staying on the same supplement plan he had been doing on his own. After he did the contest, we lost contact for 2 months. He was on his own and I had not heard from him. I was contacted by someone close to him about his well being the day before this tragedy took place, and sadly again when he passed.

I care greatly for my clients and care more about how my clients feel than myself. As a coach I always believe health comes first.

Title: Re: Competitor Died

I have to figure that it is user error or bad sourcing, or both. I have seen a decent number of people use it with little trouble other than standard discomfort. The ones that were successful were very precise and modest in the dosing. Now I've seen people upping it little by little every year or doing things like laddering it.

I also wonder about sourcing now too? Back years ago, the stuff usually came through reputable chemical suppliers, now I wonder if it's much like steroids, where the lines have been blurred.
