Anyone read or hear anything about this book??

I've been listening to the author the last couple mornings on the radio, very compelling speaker.

    I had never heard about it, but looked at the website - he's very careful to NOT mention what "drug" it is... (buy the book, buy the book, read it and you'll find out) - does he ever mention it on the radio programs you've listened to?

    Here's a counter-argument....

    Looks like the drug is 2-4 Dinitrophenal; here's the MSDS sheet on it...

    Yeah, the drug is called Dinitrophenol or DNP.

    wow, this stuff is nasty. Kills you by raising your body temperature. So you die with a severe fever. Also if you take it when it's already hot out, you only need a fraction of the stuff you normally can handle without issue. I.E. if you take a normal dose and then walk around in 90 degree heat, you risk death! Yikes!

    LOL! Don't get me wrong, I understand the appeal. But not at the risk of permanent reproductive issues, heart failure, brain damage, and/or death.

    I think the man is dangerous - no medical background - no realy work background if you read his profile. the drug is dangerous - although teh FDA may do things slowly , if you look at what happens in countries without an FDA is is pretty horrific.:frown: :frown: :sick: :sick:
    Bottom line: there are NO quick fixes - not even for a 20.00 book!! [the man is clever - gotta give him that - he is making money and people are risking their lives and probably not loosing the weight he says they will ]
    it just isn't worth it! :sick:

    Kills you the same way MDMA and cocaine do, basically.

    Personally, I like how the website has a warning not to do any additional research until you've read the whole book.. I swear that isn't shady at all. :tongue:
