Here is the deal, I always used to think similar to you. Then after years of using clen and t3 (and ephedrine, albuterol, t4, tried everything), I have realized that clen/t3 is REALLY pretty damn hard of your body and not good for your heart at all. You need a lot of clen to make much impact. At 32, its a lot of stress on the heart and clen is NOT good for heart tissue to begin with.
I'm starting to wonder if low dose DNP isnt actually less stress on the heart and vascular system (heart rate, blood pressure, etc.). We are talking about 200-250mg for a 1 or 2 week run that equals the fat loss (if not a lot more) of clen/t3 usage. In low doses, I am not convinced its so bad for you. It's received a very negative image because of the danger associated with higher dosages and its origin. If you are not using high doses, the only danger I know about is increased chance of cataracts from chronic use/exposure. I dont mean to promote a dangerous drug but I think some of the dogmatic thinking on what's dangerous and whats not inst exactly accurate.
Love to hear some counter-opinions to that. The conventional thinking is, DNP is the LAST line and harsh. I agree to an extent. But I'm not so sure slamming tons of t3/clen all the time isnt worse for you than a low dose DNP cycle. I have never tried DNP but I am seriously considering it just out of sheer curiosity. I'm about 12% right now so I dont really need "heavy artillery" like that but I've been damn curious to try a low dose cycle for a while and have read a lot about it. I do know that what I have done in the past with t3/clen has had my heart pounding like a racehorse and I know clen is horrible for heart muscle. Even low dose Clen induces cardiac apoptosis.
