Essentially, when you take DNP (a phenol used primarily in herbicides, pesticides, and dyes), you’re systemically (by controlling the dosage, frequency and duration) poisoning yourself. Contrary to popular internet belief DNP is not a drug, although one of its primary symptoms (rapid stored fat loss) sometimes causes it to be administered as such. This is similar to how chemo poisons are used in therapy. You can read a more detailed discussion on this by clicking my sig below.
In short, drugs cure or help make one well or at least better, whereas poisons harm, damage, or kill living organisms. Sometimes these negative attributes and their resulting ‘symptoms’, which are inherent to poisons as they don’t have side effects (those negative effects that run alongSIDE a drug’s innately ‘beneficial’ properties) can be harnessed for good, again e.g. chemo’s controlled poisonous chemical’s destruction/killing of your cancerous cells before killing you.
The short version is DNP is not a good bb’ing tool, and should not be consumed. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly understand the allure (even the construction of the name Dinitrophenol makes you want to try it), and if you must, as did I, then go ahead. But it’s largely useless in our capacity, and unfortunately doesn’t contribute in the negative feedback loop, i.e. your body doesn’t accept its fat loss as legitimate and restores the losses upon discontinuation of your…and yes I have to say it, poisoning protocol.
Again, this is discussed in great detail in the signature-linked thread below, please see it and submit any questions.
