@Chud said in The pro-metabolic drug DNP, banned by FDA, may treat most diseases:
lost 20 pounds this month running a relatively low dose of DNP and just walking as often as possible in the woods near my house. diet is like 500carbs 200p 130f. supplementing with k2 d3 and progesterone. never felt too hot or out of breath. a fan is helpful for sleeping though. ray peat said cataracts (which to my knowledge are a relatively rare side effect in men) can be alleviated by increasing vitamin C intake. also peripheral neuropathy is a side but ive never gotten it, other than that theres basically no actual side effects other than heat. its fucking awesome.
Do you have a reference for this? Thanks

Any suggestions (links?) on dosage?

Have you seen this? Disappointing, but not surprising. https://www.healio.com/news/primary-care/20241010/most-peer-reviewers-for-major-medical-journals-receive-industry-payments

@Regina Taking Vitamin E is also super important during DNP usage. To protect from the added FFA

In the bodybuiling comunity its well known to be really damaging to metabolism. It can make you skinny fat really easy, hunge weight loss but also huge loss of tissue.
But i wonder if its because its used in high dose. Saw some post few years back about microdosing it, and how it could help brain health

@Lordallmighty alot of stuff in the bodybuilding “community” is idiotic

If anyone says this they have no idea what they're talking about and clearly never bothered to read any of the early or even recent literature and studies on DNP, Tainter's most notably, almost all of which is available on pubmed. They all think themselves clever and somehow contributing to the discourse by repeating the meme that it's a pesticide and "burns you from the inside out."
In the therapeutic and even higher dosages it has shown to be remarkably if not almost completely muscle sparing. Far more so than even thyroid hormone. It is a fat-burning drug.
There are plenty of reasons to avoid DNP but "damaging to metabolism" is not one of them.
