: : Is the information on the DNP post correct?

: All I know is that using poison for weight loss seems way too extreme for me. If you accidentally take 1 too many clenbuterol tabs obviously you'll be much better off than if you accidentally take a bit too much POISON. You can DIE from DNP. Does that not deturr you? I know Duchaine is an intelligent man, but you people have to do a little thinking for yourself. I like his writings, and trust his educated opinions often, but I will not risk death at his suggestion. (Remember also, he himself uses CRAZY when referring to the use of DNP.) Are you willing to die for those extra couple of pounds? Now why on earth would the media label us athletes as a bunch of drug using, suicidal morons? Hmmm, maybe it's lunatics like you?
Point well taken moonface. I do not consider Duchaine infailable
but its a very interesting idea that was used with very much sucsess
by very many people in the 30's. It was also used as an antibiotic
(hopefully it would kill the bacteria before it would kill the patient).
I most likely never touch the stuff, but you understand the innterst
in a drug that can increase your metabolic rate by 50%. So I still
would like the information for the sake of knowledge and maybe impressing my
biochem prof.
