in the cases where clen looked to be cardiac protective, its protective because of that spillover onto beta1 receptors on the heart which increases contractility and HR in those with a failing heart. So it made the heart work harder while taking the meds, then (skimmed over some of the papers indicated) it helps regenerate the heart muscle to a point but that is still in a failing heart. So in that case, it was used properly for its use and it has its benefits.
On the other hand, bber's usually dont have those kind of heart issues and already put alot of strain on their heart anyways (with their diets, heavy lifting, and general life style) so those are predisposed to heart issues will and can have problems while taking clen, due to the spill over on beta1 receptors.
Needless to say, in a healthy person, it is all dose dependent and how they react to the stimulant individually. People with heart failure will be able to take a much larger dose w/o the bad effects because its helping their heart beat more efficiently.. those w/o the heart issues it will make the heart work harder.
It prolly has its place to help with weight loss, and since its 2nd messanger is cAMP it prolongs the effects of glucagon which increases fat burining for energy. But with a crap diet, it prolly wont do much at all.
