Bad bad DNP side effects!

When the nazis gave it to the jews in the concentration camps as an alternative to coats, when they died from it their bodies would continue to stay warm for a day after they were dead. It isn't a mild drug at all. God bless those that use it. I would never touch it.

That is physically impossible. I'm sure that is just one of those stories you hear that has been over exagerated.


BTW, hope the guy in the hospital turns out ok.

How so?

How so?

The human body creates and regulates its heat by pumping blood, sweating, and breathing. The human body can not generate heat when it is dead. It is impossible. I'm not busting on your or anything, don't get me wrong. I've read lots of your posts and you know what you are talking about. But what you have said here is a wives tale. It is simply impossible.

*correction: the human organism "produces" heat as a byproduct of metabolism.

Yes, I forgot that I put "creates" in there.

But yes, when the metabolism isn't working anymore, there is no more heat that is being generated.

Exactly, heat is created by metabolism and regulated by the thyroid to burn calories. However I wouldn't think that would be a cause of post-death heat. It could be from the product itself in the body. It does accumulate and is highly explosive so given the right environment and chemicals to react with it could generate heat. Or it could be a wives tale. I just heard about it, didn't witness it so who knows.

I would hope you didn't witness it, otherwise you would be in your 80's right about now.

But the amount of a reactive chemical that would have to be in the body for it to have a exothermic reaction would be probably 1000 times the normal dose of DNP. (probably higher than that) But as I said before, I don't even know if DNP causes an exothermic reaction with water. Because it is stored with 15% moisture already. So I doubt it would have that kind of reaction with water. There is a heat increase when most things disolve, but if something is easily disolved, (like salt in water), the amount of heat released is almost immeasurable.

You're way off on your reasoning 9000, all that chem 101 stuff has nothing to do with it. The answer is basic physiology. It's obviously not true because DNP needs oxygen to work and there is no oxygen delivery after death.
