2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is a chemical that is not approved for weight loss. It is a classic case of efficacy, but without safety in the setting of weight loss. This setting of weight loss can be prone to chemical misuse, further exacerbating understanding in human systems. It is not recommended as weight loss can absolutely happen without use of DNP. Christopher is one of 2 - 3 cases documented in literature to have survived an accident with DNP for weight loss. As of 2021, one organization has permission from the US FDA to investigate DNP in some neurodegenerative disorders. These are rare diseases with limited standards of care, therefore that is extenuating circumstances to find anything that could potentially improve patient outcomes.
These cases are patients who I, or my colleagues have seen. They are de-identified and many instances have been presented in more depth in an academic setting. This video is identified with approval of the patient, and he makes an appearance for interview in this video. These videos are not individual medical advice and are for general educational purposes only. I do not give medical advice over the internet, see your physician in person for that.

Hey “CE” here, just wanted to stop by and express how amazing working with Chubbyemu was! I can't thank him enough for helping share this story and lessons within!
Massive props for sharing your story. It can't have been easy.
Ok. (My sincere apologies for my terrible english, as it is not my first language or mother tounge as some people might call it. Again, sorry for my poor use of the english language. I assure you such bad usage will not come from me again as it is not proper. I will not use this language called english until I fully learn the grammatical and vocabularic limits of it)

It's standard here
Yup no system is perfect. I also hear of the wait times with single payer healthcare and those also sound horrifying.
I wonder if there is a place where you can get seen relatively fast and for relatively inexpensive.
I ask too much though. It’s probably one or thr other or sometimes neither
@@justinabajian1087 That 'long wait time' thing gets exaggerated a lot, generally by those who have motivation to support the kind of systems seen in places like the states. The states has about average wait times compared to other countries, regardless of the overall medical systems in place.

We as a society HAVE to start talking about body dysmorphia and EDs in men. Not enough people realize that things like pushing yourself too hard in the gym or trying "fitness hacks" to lose weight can be forms of self-harm. Yet this huge wave of "diet culture" is so prevalent in the US. I hope there comes a day when everyone has a healthy relationship with their bodies.
There's so much money to be made in the diet industry and that's all it is they don't care about your health they don't care what's going to happen to you all they care about is how much money they're going to make off of it. We need serious conversations about how we can revamp our Healthcare System so that we don't need these kind of diet and supplements and harmful drugs that just destroy your body. I actually think we should imitate the EU Health System for Medicare for all because that is a wonderful program.
Please don't call it self harm. It's self-destructive, not self-harm. Big difference.
@@Thepresident498it’s causing harm to the body as a method of self-soothing or ‘coping’ with an awful situation, it’s self harm. Self destructive behaviour would be going out and partying when you should be at work / school the next day, or gambling addiction.

@@rowan_twigs No, it's not. Self-harm is physically hurting your body with the intention of harming it. Their not doing that in the video. No, he OD'd on drugs in an attempt to lose weight. I don't think he purposefully or wanted to hurt his body. It's self-destructive
@@Thepresident498 causing excess weight loss beyond the norm, knowing it is a dangerous drug to take, is deliberately causing harm, surely?

"The financial cost of an ambulance ride"

@@marks6663 True but it's a few hundred not thousands and basic medical insurance usually covers it

I knew a guy in college that tried this. It made him miserable and extremely hot and sweaty. He dropped some weight and didn't have major issues but he measured it carefully and took a low dose for a month. I kept trying to talk him out of it since I was a chem major and knew it was horrible stuff. He was lucky and didn't suffer any (known as of yet) health problems from it.
This guy? Clen, DNP, thyroid hormone and more all stacked together for 8 MONTHS STRAIGHT? I am really glad he pulled through. He's one in a million lucky to survive that. That's a crazy stack of stuff to put your body through. Not sure I've heard of anyone using Clen, ephedrine, AND DNP together, that's insanity.
Holy SHIT
Yeah, usually people calculate very well in the scene, and start carefully on a low dose, safeguarding against double doses especially with DNP's half-life, only doing it in winter depending on the climate, mitigating adverse effects, etc. In fact, everybody on these forums will try so hard to convince newbies NOT to take it if they're complete beginners. Yes, this drug has been used in the past as an effective weight loss prescription, but one needs to understand it completely before doing it and newbies are not shared into the source for dnp unless they demonstrate they know how to use it and honestly, wield Its power.
And herein lies the biggest problem: eating disorders and body dysmorphia. Not only these must be treated and dealt with, but in men? It's seen very differently and it's truly dangerous. I'm sorry for CE, and I'm sorry for the people who've suffered with eds, and with improper use of dnp. It shouldn't be like this.
The T3 in combo with the other 2 is kore concerning than the ephedrine imo...
Bro took the Chemical that Kills you when you take it. And lived.
oof..
"It's no more dangerous than taking aspirin/acetaminophen." When I was a paramedic I heard that quite a bit for a lot of various substances. I would point out how narrow the therapeutic ranges for ASA/APAP are and that they are actually very, very dangerous, and were one of the most common accidental poisoning/overdose substances I saw. Patients never really seemed to believe me though.
But in this case, DNP is indeed more dangerous than aspirin. Acetylsalicylic acid affects one metabolic pathway by targetting one enzyme, DNP screws your whole metabolism even at s "safe" dose.
It's odd to think about how normal taking acetaminophen is, while it's actually one of the more toxic substances in my house.
Considering how OTC pain relievers are marketed and added to so many medications, it’s not surprising to me at all that so many people think they’re innocuous.
@@rominac1389 there is no safe dose. The drug was removed from the market with that statement.

As someone who has struggled with an ED for most their life, I can see why he tried it, I used to use stimulants to control my appetite too. My heart goes out to him and I’m so glad he’s doing better.
Ya ED means something else not eating disorder 🤦♂️
@@HK-gw2ew mate, idk if you’re aware but acronyms can stand for more than one thing. ED is used to mean eating disorder just as often or more often than what you’re referring to.
@@annakaraivanova6936 just chiming in years later to say there's no way ED is used to refer to eating disorder more than erectile dysfunction. Anecdotally I can see how a woman might think that though. Imagine if vaginas just stopped working sometimes y'all would be talking about it a lot too lol
same. got addicted to amphetamines because i started to lose weight.
You're not controlling your appetite using stimulants, you're suppressing it.
I had a hemorrhagic stroke caused by 15 to 20 years of extremely high blood pressure.
I spent a week in the neuro unit in the hospital, being given blood thinners to clear out any clots, and then I spent three weeks at an inpatient physical therapy center.
I lost about 20 pounds from a month of hospital food.
I wouldn't recommend the hospital stay diet approach. The results were impressive but the food was like being out in the field in the army, being served T-rations.
I've had a few hospital meals, worst was the lukewarm porridge/oatmeal that tasted like wet cardboard with chunks. Can't even imagine having to eat hospital food for that long
@@heyo9343 idk if it depends on the hospital, when I had to spend months at a time there whenever my mother got sick (she didnt know english very well). sometimes she would share what she couldnt finish and while yea it aint great, its still alright, bland at worst. maybe just me not being a picky eater. tbh if it just took a month of hospital food to lost 20lb, i would do it. obviously not IN said hospital.
The hospital here has room service and you can order as much of whatever you want. And it's all really good! I probably gained a pound or two lol.
The food at Duke is pretty good
If you don’t mind sharing do you know what your blood pressure regularly was?

@pig? you must be good at not looking at the first comment😄
This poor guy clearly had an eating disorder. Even before he started taking DNP he was skipping school to exercise. Huge red flag. An ED is often associated with women but men can get it too, and as someone who's suffered from one myself, it can cause you to do all sorts of risky things to lose weight.
I thought about this too, especially because he would bounce between being heavily overweight to heavily lean.
Eating disorder sounds like the person is a victim through no fault of thier own. Where the fuck is dicspline and self control ever recognized in america? sheesh.
@@dylanmcshane9976 As someone who almost died 6 months ago from anorexia, no. Eating disorders are not about "willpower" in any way, shape, or form. It's a method of control, punishment, addiction, and it's often a method of self harm or a coping mechanism for trauma. It can also be a symptom of other mental health disorders, like DID, OCD, BPD, etc. Anyone can get an eating disorder, not just people in the US. Having an eating disorder is serious and life threatening, so please take care talking about ED's.
@@dylanmcshane9976 actually people with EDs are often way too disciplined. To the point it harms them. I was like that. It takes "discipline" to starve yourself and over exercise. But it robs you of every joy in your life, there was a time when every second thought in my head was about weight. Life is about SO MUCH MORE than what you weigh.
The fetishisation of "discipline" and the belief by type-A people that they are weak if they don't lose enough weight, is what causes EDs like this.
Fortunately I'm recovered now but it took 10 years.
@@dylanmcshane9976 easier to pretend you can will away problems and that "discipline" and "self control" are answers, and that people who get sick or hurt are just weak isn't it? Makes you feel safe and like you won't ever suffer.
Its not how the world works, but I get why you're choosing that fantasy
me: opens a package of mushrooms that are one day overdue. hears Chubbyemu out of nowhere saying "a man ate mushrooms that were one day overdue. this is what happened to his organs". *sweats intensively*
Yeah, I near paranoid about reheating food or expiry dates. now since discovering chubbyemu
Was worried about reheating 12 hour old fried rice that had been refrigerated
I actually had a biology exam in high-school were we had to explain why DNP was so dangerous. Thanks to biology, my teacher, and now Chubbyemu, I know why it's so dangerous and to never take it.
I really liked hearing the patient's side on this one. When things are depersonalized, it's easy for people to make jokes about the Darwin Awards or whatever. But hearing the thought process can better help us understand why people might take actions like this, and can help us understand that many people are susceptible to this without the proper information.
Indeed. I thought it was all just very sad. And it would have been much sadder for his family if he had died. Just a vale of tears. I'm very happy he lived.
Big agree. The comments on ChubbyEmu videos always annoy me, partly because so many of the comments seem to be making fun of the patients being talked about.
@Michael Lisinski i agree i wished they would have more stories where the survivors / victims were interviewed or were able to narrate their story along with chubbyemu and explain in their own words what happened firsthand
People will still make jokes.
@@madkirk7431 Yeah People are kinda crappy unfortunately
An actual interview with the patient? That’s pretty neat
Right - one who's still alive!
@@jenniferlonnes7420 I think it would be hard to interview a patient who is dead...
@@rhyliemasons7957 good time to practice your ventriloquist skills though
@Rylie Breaux-Collins very, very cursed.
I love it!!
I’m glad this was covered though I’m disappointed that this case wasn’t explicitly identified as an eating disorder-it’s really important to talk about this through that lens, since the media only portrays cases of anorexic young women. Men struggle with body dysmorphia and ED too, and so too do people who are fat, and people who “look healthy.”
While this is entirely fair, ChubbyEmu is a PharmD, not a psychiatric professional, so I find it very reasonable that he didn’t attempt to make a diagnosis!
I think also putting an eating disorder label on it makes it seem like it'll only happen to you if you have (or rather sit to having) an eating disorder. It's very easy to deny.
@@deinemutter918 tjat makes no sense. by that logic "labels" (diagnoses) like schizophrenia or bipolar shouldnt exist either cuz someone could have subclinical manifestations of either and do that exact same thing, deny that they have any problem at all, since rheir issues dont meet that clinical threshold to be a particular disorder or some kind.
@@lambiamusic while I believe OP was in good faith I think it’s more ethical and professional that he did not do it
@@personwhoexists8684 So just because the patient refuses to admit they have something means that medical professionals don't know it exists/ can ignore it?
There's a difference between having a problem and admitting to yourself (and others) that you have a problem. Schizophrenia, one of your own examples, causes a paranoia that makes patients unwilling to see a professional because aside from the typical "I'm not crazy" spiel and fear of being locked up in a psych ward that a lot of people get, they also truly believe the professional in question is an alien wanting to suck their brains out through a tube or whatever.
Eating disorders do a similar thing in a more subtle way - the brain ends up believing that being 'too thin' or 'too muscular' or whatever is not possible, that no matter how much people compliment you you're still not good enough, you always have to go further. And people do compliment you for losing weight (at least until you start looking like a skeleton), which reinforces in your mind that what you're doing is *good* - so a lot of people with eating disorders don't want to admit, to themselves or anyone else, that they have an eating disorder. They *want* to continue losing weight without interference, and they will resist the idea of seeing a therapist, psychologist or what have you. The brain is just that invested in protecting its routines and patterns. And if you're anorexic but refuse to let yourself see that you're anorexic, then you can read a million articles about "stuff anorexics do" and go "this does not apply to me" - that's what @@deinemutter918 is referring to.

@@DocterWaffles no people do say it’s being sexist if you talk about having an eating disorder
@@DocterWaffles Exactly, I was just about to say this myself. Sexism hurts men because of the expectation to be macho and never show weakness, even if it kills them.
Just in case anyone didn’t know, the “pore” in the mitochondria is called ATP Synthase which is an enzyme, that is imbedded in the mitochondrial membrane, that uses one of the protons in the gradient to do phosphorylation(adding phosphate to something) on one of the ADP to ATP which is very effective and this is where a lot of the body’s ATP(energy) comes from. Very little ATP comes from glycolysis which is where Dr. Bernard said break down more sugar 10:58. Actually you need two ATP to create 4 ATP and 2 pyruvate molecules(3-carbon molecules) from one glucose molecule for glycolysis. This is why your body burns lipocytes(fat cells) to get more energy when the proton gradient is not formed due to DNP. The whole process of donating electrons to the ETC(electron transport chain) with chemiosmosis to turn adp into atp through the ATP synthase is called oxidative phosphorylation.
Ah yes. The Krebs cycle. Fuck you citric acid cycle, fuck you and the nightmares you gave me during bio 12.

Your comment on what happens to our bodies when been in the ICU needs a chapter of its own. These days with the CoVid still roaming in our society, some people may think that being hooked up to a “respirator” (respiratory machine, or whatever it is called) is just getting tube down you throat for a while and when the danger is over, it’s just to walk out of the hospital.
However I read a description of what has to be done and the hard work of getting back to life afterwards, with months of training to get the body able to sit, stand and walk normally.
On the issue in the video - a friend wrote a booked called “There’s no idea”, meaning there’s no single and SIMPLE idea that will solve all our problems. Loosing weight, getting control of our personal finances, getting fit for a Marathon, stop smoking, stop harming ourselves isn’t a ONE-STEP PROGRAM, or a pill or an app on the phone. We say in Sweden “genvägar är senvägar”, which could be translated into “short-cuts are late routes”.

I salute you sir, you are a credit to the hypocritical oath. Education of the people is paramount to preventive medicine. I admire your low key and unobtrusive approach to sponsors, in fact the short explanation and recommendation by you tends to draw one to the product and to seriously consider buying or sampling the product.

The inclusion of CE himself in this video helps remind viewers that, as interesting as the videos on this channel are, it’s important for our own humanity to see the patient as a person and not to reduce their stories to objects of voyeurism.
Very true. I work in nutrition services. We had a cook with a particularly bad attitude about special orders due to dietary restrictions. We took him to meet a patient one day, and when we returned to the kitchen, he said, "Man. And I thought *I* was having a bad day." He never complained about a special order again.
Well put.
The TikTokers, alchohal drinkers and soya sauce overdosers on this channel have no redemption. They are idiots.
Indeed. There is a human behind each of these videos and statistic about any illness or condition. Kinda makes one think twice before they make an “emia” joke. I hope.
Well the diff with CE, is he was at emotional loss while being bound by the social stigma of "Popularity"
most of the "victims" were garbage eating idiots who failed to use google or common sense.
Simply put CE was brainwashed by stress and social anxiety to not seek help.
that is a case that is based on tormented and confused, not lax and stupid.
"To be relaxed means to be balanced, as all things should be."
I just can't not love you mate.
Have to admit, when I read the title of this video, I thought about how those old "fat blocker" weight loss pills were, shall we say, a threat to the freshness of users' pants.
Do those pills, like, prevent your system from absorbing fat out of your food? That does sound like a great way to lubricate your stool.
It's kind of funny because fat doesn't actually make you fat, it is usually excess carbs that do it. Would be great as a stool softener though.
@@vaykoden793 Exactly!
@@YuBeace If it's the one I'm thinking, what it does is trapping the carbohidrate molecule into a bond, so your body can't process this new molecule, and you just shit it out.
It's pretty safe. Still I wouldn't relay on an aditive.
This story is a good example of male body image issues. Men can feel the same way as women do about their bodies, but they don’t realize it or don’t want to talk about it. Please talk to someone if they show signs of this extreme or if you feel the same!

I shouldn't have to put my tax dollars towards someone who made as stupid of a decision as the patient in this video made. Same goes for drug addicts. If you want to do so, then go to Denmark and pay a 50% income tax.
@NMK if someone on your family had terminal cancer and your only option for them to stay alive is to ask for money from a charity because your job doesnt pay you enough than you would reconsider perhaps
@@itismedio1684 I've had people in my family receive life-saving open heart surgery in the last couple years alone, as well as numerous hospital and doctor visits. We don't pay a cent because we are a union family and our union collectively bargained for the best private healthcare available in the US.
If single-payer/ACA healthcare was passed in this country, we would lose our private healthcare and be stuck with much worse coverage, higher premiums, and would have to wait in lines like the Canadians and Europeans do. I shouldn't be punished because my family worked hard and was involved in a dying organized labor movement that could ensure you actually get quality coverage.

@@CoryPchajek the major problem with that is the high sugar intake
@@global8198 it’s not the sugar intake, it’s the fructose intake. Fructose isn’t easily digestable so the body stores it right to the liver, but when you eat 10 apples a day which equals to roughly 110 grams of fructose per day, this excess fructose will be turned into fat, which will cause fatty organs and potentially cause heart disease, but fatty liver is more likely.
massive props to CE for sharing his story, and thank you Chubbyemu for the video!
Thank you for giving some sound advice regarding the role that making small, consistent changes plays into losing weight. It's super tempting to go all in in order to see dramatic results quickly, but it is so ineffective in the long-run.

I woke up after a few days in the ICU from a medically induced coma. I am so grateful that I didn’t have a tube down my throat and my mother was there. I couldn’t imagine being alone with a tube down my throat unexpectedly even though I knew I had one because my surgery was expected to be long especially if I was lucky. I was both very, very lucky and deeply unlucky at the same time. I guess I was just lucky enough not to be terminal anymore. A high bar might I add for my surgeon and team might I add. Shout out to Dr. Chou neurosurgeon and UCSF. The MRSA sucked though. Ngl there where a few staff… I feel they didn’t like to read charts or listen to a patient. I was told “that’s not what’s wrong with you, you can stand up. Come on stand up.” Umm. No. I am paralyzed. My mother was told I was a quadriplegic before I woke up and I was lucky I could feel half of my arms. This was a physical therapist too. She physically pulled me off the bed too. I just don’t know.

@@user-wl8kk5kn6v both did
The fact that Americans, especially young Americans are frightened to call an ambulance because of the cost is shocking!
It's the way it is here. You will CRAWL if you have to, but unless you are out and/or actually dying....no ambulance, for god's sake.
it’s really disgusting and makes my heart hurt. it shouldn’t be this way. totally fucked up
Yes, I agree. Healthcare cost is ridiculous in America, it's for profit, even though hospitals are non-profit.
In 2006, the volunteer ambulance sent my hubby a bill for 1k. He had a heart irregularity. It's probably 2k now.
The serious problem is that people are due to social mores left over from the great depression and the attitudes that it instilled in the population. The fact is that cost is only one of the things that discourage people from seeking help from medical professions sooner rather than later, there is also the concept that seeking such help is a sign of weakness. This ironically causes medical care to be more expensive here because by the time that many people actually get help the problem is much harder and more expensive to treat.
Socialized Healthcare is not free except to those who are totally dependent on other social programs as well. If you pay into a socialized system, you are paying for it even when you dont use it at all. Its not free though the per incident cost may be low or non existent it also has limits to what it can accomplish.
Makes you wonder how many die each year just because they didn't want to be stuck with a life-crippling bill.

"I was afraid it was illegal and didn't want to incur the cost of an ambulance ride"
The real villians here are the US medical and legal establisments.
To be fair to the US legal system, many states (such as Texas, my state) have specific laws that grant immunity from prosecution for drug related crimes and alcohol related crimes (e.g. minor in possession) when seeking medical assistance, precisely because they don't want to deter people from seeking medical help when they need it.
Unfortunately, few people are aware of these laws, so there are often cases where people don't call for help when they should, even though they have nothing to fear from the law. As here, the patient was incorrect--his use of this chemical wasn't illegal--and his unfounded fear made him reluctant to tell the doctors what they needed to know.
@@vanessahutcheson9510 it's also illegal to own pyrex flasks in texas.
land of the free
@@ascendedchairmanofthelemur9711 That's not quite correct; glassware (under the Pyrex brand or other brands) is not prohibited and never was.
Because they were potentially used for making drugs or explosives, there was a requirement that any owner of such glassware obtain a permit, but that was repealed in 2019. It remains that if glassware is stolen, the owner must report the theft to the police.
Certainly I'm well aware that our laws are a mess; I live here, after all. I'm not trying to "defend" or argue the relative merits of our legal system. I simply wanted to take the opportunity to make people aware of lesser-known laws that could potentially save lives.
True true and the politicions as well and the corrupt higher ups weird control society gang organizations thingy:p.

Amazing explanation of what is happening in the mitochondria. This sort of thing is why getting into a medical school is so hard -- knowing chemistry and physics is important to doctors.
As a biologist, it just sounds to awful to me that someone would block the activity of his or her mitochondria (powerhouseofthecell). Mitochondria are not only important for making ATP but they also control the levels of different other molecules called co-factors and co-factors are used in numerous processes in the cell. For example, co-factors are important to regulate the activity of genes (I made a video about this). I can't just imagine how many processes might be influenced by blocking DNP. So no no to eating 2,4-Dinitrophenol!
Would DNP block other function of the mitochondria (powerhouseofthecell) through eliminating the proton gradient, or just that specific activity of producing ATP?
The big problem is they dont understand or study biology
@L Train45 it's not biology, it's a meme
@L Train45 it's honestly just a meme at this point, because that's like one of the few things people remember from biology and they think that there are better things to be taught than what the mitochondria does.
Wouldn't prolonged blocking of the activity of the mitochondria cause cellular damage then death? Similar to oxidative damage I'd imagine?
You're in a great country when one of the deciding factors of whether you go to the ER or not is the ambulance ride cost.
Exactly - that someone has to even think that way, is a tragedy in itself!
@Jamilah Toenailkilla Ah, well - there's a good reason we Brits say, "thank God for the NHS"!
@Jamilah ToenailkillaEven as a proportion of GDP though, our total health spend *per* *person* is only half that of the US, and so nothing to do with population size - yet still, we have objectively better health outcomes, zero medical bankruptcies, and can call an ambulance when needed without worry of financial compromise!
@Jamilah Toenailkilla That's not really how it works, GDP and tax revenue grows with population.
My country (Mexico) and Brazil easily have over 100 million people and we still have socialized healthcare

@@lilstardrops I've read those same forums, even the specific thread CE showed a screenshot from in this video, no one lied and he absolutely knew what was happening (unless he was just too out of it). Every resource I've ever seen on DNP pounds into you that this compound builds up in your system and will flat out cook you alive if you take too much. He was likely taking a borderline dose and then he accidentally doubled up. I get it accidents happen he was desperate and this is a dangerous thing to do. It's an insidious drug that provides fast results, and more results the more you take, right up until it kills you. However, I think it's a bit unfair to categorize the people in those forums as evil. Nothing happened to this guy that wasn't entirely expected from what he was doing and the people on these forums aren't the ones selling the compound.
I was very close to taking DNP once, as I was also browsing weight loss/fitness forums. I decided against it because I'm convinced that I get overheated easily and DNP would definitely put me in the hospital at best.

I found out what the key to weight loss. It's called watch how much sugar you eat. Seriously when the spouse was diagnosed with Type II diabetes I started looking into it. Then realized food manufacturers dump loads of sugar into something as simple as condiments. It's everywhere. Limit sugar intake to 30g or less per day and well I went from being 5'8" 240lbs to 150lbs. My BP normalized, I feel better and we reversed spouses Type II diabetes.
