Now of course you are extrapolating from that the OP would then be beneath the minimum published lethal dose by staying under a dose of 537.5 mg. But that makes a number of assumptions that I would not be comfortable with.
Are we sure that the dose/response of the drug is strictly linear?
We have absolutely nothing held constant between the minimum lethal dose person and the OP. There are lots of potential confounders. There is no comparison of food consumed, no consideration of other medications, supplements, exercise, water intake, electrolyte replacement, renal function, no information on any metabolic differences between them. I think relying on the fact that we cannot locate any published reports for amounts less than 4.3 is a very crude metric on which to claim safety of any protocol. It's not nothing, but I would not say it tells us smaller doses are definitely safe.
We don't even know with any certainty about whether the substance he is taking is properly dosed, and whether it has additives that complicate things in any way.
The OP is clearly overweight, and would probably drop 30 pounds by cutting out sugar and grain for a couple of months. That would have little to no (negative) side effects.
And by my crude calculation (I'm not accounting for the 12 hour difference in the two doses on day 4), based on the half life of DNP, the OP has approximately 654 mg of DNP in his system on day 4, which is 5.2 mg/kg.
The dose makes the poison in the particular organism. If it were only dose dependent, there wouldn't be the large range of fatal doses, even when we are comparing mg/kg and mean blood concentration. No one knows why there is this variance, as far as I can tell.
I am sure that there the possibility of a safe protocol for DNP, but I don't see any persuasive reasoning that this is it. This is a cut and paste off some website, and this guy does not know what he is doing.
