‘Illegally Thin’ | DNP Weight Loss and Government Conspiracy

DNP weight loss story will sell well

Beware promises of magic.

Beware promises of magic.

My prediction for the next book that will skyrocket in sales: “Illegally Thin,” a book about DNP weight loss by someone who goes by the name Random Knight. This book has got everything: A supposed “miracle drug” that helps people lose weight. A government conspiracy. Crime.

Yep, now that word has gotten out about “Illegally Thin,” I predict we’ll see it on the best-sellers list almost as fast as you can get an online personal loan. Here are five reasons this book about DNP weight loss is destined for high sales.

1. People want to lose weight ‘the easy way’

“Illegally Thin” is a book about “the most valuable drug ever discovered” and DNP weight loss, or so says the product description that people marketing this book are circulating. The promoters also claim:

“It is a fat burning drug, clinically proven to be so effective; it could quickly, safely and easily rid the world of all problems related to excess body fat.”

Safely? Easily? Completely rid the world of problems related to excess body fat? In case you haven’t guessed yet, I find these claims outlandish and impossible. However, I predict at least a million Americans will be willing to spend $20 to find out if these claims are true. Anything labeled “fast” and “easy” and “weight loss” usually makes a killing in the U.S., even though it either doesn’t work or kills people.

2. Everyone likes a good conspiracy

The cover of “Illegally Thin” reads:

Discover why our government is unjustly keeping this drug from us and learn all about the present day underground use of it.

Government? Unjust? Keeping it from us? Again, strong words crafted by an obviously savvy marketing team. And on the literary front, now we have an enemy! A protagonist! And it’s the government. People love to read about and see documentaries about government conspiracies. And how dare they keep us from this magical weight loss pill?

3. Crime is so hot right now

If you have basic cable, I challenge you to find a time of day — besides the infomercial hours — when there isn’t a crime drama airing. CSI, NCIS, Law & Order, Fringe, True Hollywood Story Investigates, Snapped, 48 Hours … you get the point.

That little phrase “underground use” of the DNP weight loss drug will no doubt catch the attention of crime drama lovers. Crime stories are statistically among the most-read stories in newspapers across the country. So, add a criminal element to a government conspiracy and the ever-elusive miracle weight loss drug and voila, you have a guaranteed best seller.

4. Promises of safety

Thanks to the Internet, which actually is magic, it’s out there that  “Illegally Thin” is about 2,4-Dinitrophenol or the DNP weight loss drug.

Mind you, I do not think that the future purchasers of “Illegally Thin” haven’t considered the fact that most diet pills that delivered quick, effortless weight loss turned out to be very dangerous. But the copywriters for “Illegally Thin” have thought of that as well. A summary of “Illegally Thin” from Atlas Books states:

“Stanford University Medical Clinic reports, along with 5 years of use by the American public before it was illegalized, that proves this drug is perfectly safe and does no harm to people when used with all the proper precautions.”

5. The quickest of quick fixes

It’s the line that follows the “perfectly safe” claim that really makes me doubt said safety claims: “It is so effective, people have lost 1/2 – 1 lb. of fat per day while on it.” Well, that and the fact that these Stanford University Medical Clinic reports are from the 1930s.

But, still, I predict that hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, will see this suggestion that they can lose five pounds in a week by doing nothing but taking a pill and they’ll spend the $20. The only thing Americans love more than a quick fix is a quicker fix. But before you start using the DNP weight loss drug, read up on the reasons it was banned. It works by converting energy into heat, meaning a rise in body temperature. DNP weight loss was banned because it caused fatal fevers.

    Bonnie, the U.S. government makes it nearly impossible to find it… The gov. has a tendency to allow a handful of stupid idiots to ruin it for the rest of us. With the way things are run here, all it can take is one lawsuit from one moron who improperly uses the product or overdoses to make something outlawed or restricted to everyone else. I say, if the person is an adult of legal age, it's no one's responsibility but their own if they misuse or overuse a drug…as it is no one's responsibility but theirs to keep themselves informed and make informed choices. It's my choice, it's my consequence. NOW, if the person follows a drug as directed and harm comes to them, THEN the drug/drug makers owe liability. DNP is tough to find, but NOT impossible… I say if you're savvy enough to find it, odds are you're smart enough to use it properly, and give it respect for the HIGHLY DANGEROUS & TOXIC chemical that it is.

  2. Lydia Dietrich says:

    Riri, how on earth can you blame DNP for your husband shooting blanks when, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, he won't confirm or deny even taking it? Besides, there are plenty of existing children available for adoption waiting to be loved and this planet is plenty overpopulated… Maybe you should see it as a sign *lol*.

  3. Lydia Dietrich says:

    Not knowing the right amount or precautions to take is highly dangerous. A high overdose will cause hyperthermia: your core body temp will elevate uncontrollably and you'll literally cook yourself from the inside out. With slight overdosages (or prolonged use), you risk permanent organ failure (liver, kidney, thyroid)and/or blindness. Like ANY drug, improper use will cause problems…
    Do some more research, and you'll find that more often than not, the negative side effects come from improper use/overdosing.

  4. Lydia Dietrich says:

    I do believe the book is irresponsible in the respect that they claim DNP is "SAFE" and "EASY" when it's a highly dangerous chemical. It's not even really a DRUG, it's a TOXIN. The amount that can kill you is only slightly higher than the actual dose..As little as 4 times the recommended amount. It's only "safe" if you do your research, follow proper guidelines and NOT treat it like a magic pill like this book makes it out to sound. There are many morons out there, especially in this country, who A)don't like to put any amount of thought and wish to have a person/product magically solve their problem FOR them (this book is a perfect example! You're being asked to waste 20 bucks when just about everything you need to know (and more) about this substance can be researched yourself. See how lazy people are? Spending money so that someone else can do the thinking and research FOR you) and B) live under the "more is better" mentality. If you apply that kind of thinking to DNP, you'll likely kill yourself…

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^ That patent is interesting. Hmm. Im gonna look into that.

  6. Riri says:

    My husband used DNP for few months ( I am not sure, he doesn't say!)

    He told me, I made all my research and everything is fine when taken well!

    I am trying to have a baby and couldn't. My husband did semen analysis.. guess what??

    He had NO SPERMS! few that r dead! So now tell me does DNP not cause that?????

    I asked him did you research regarding this? he said well, No! then how come you claimed that it was safe?? I searched all over teh internet, and no one knows what it actually does! No research was done !!!

    It take years for these substances to leave the body, and damage may not be reversed !!

    People BE CAREFULL !!!!!!

  7. Shenae says:

    DNP causes hyperthermia and people died from it in the 1940's

    conspiracy is sheet

    research it yourself

    the only real way to lose weight and stay healthy physically and mentally is to eat healthy and excersise, thats the one thing people have been doing for 100's of years and it the healthiest choice you could make. the adrenaline gives you a slice of happiness and the activity gives you the image you desire.

  8. Bonnie Krebs says:

    Hello, i have ordered your book but where do you buy DNP?

  9. J.Paul says:

    This stuff works- I have been using a relatively low dose of DNP for the last 3 weeks. However, it does have a 'price' to pay! Increase in body temperature causes you to sweat even when stationary. Expect to be uncomfortably sticky- even in dry climates! Some report other discomforts such as lethargy- but I have not experienced any (perhaps this is due to taking the recommended vitamins and supliments along with large amounts of water). Does it work? 18lbs in 24 days- and my eating habits have not changed. But to be honest, the sweating associated with the rise in body temperature does not make this an 'easy' program to follow.

  10. Random Knight says:

    I have to compliment the author of this excellent article. While she has a healthy cynicism about the book’s claims she does not resort to outright attacks on me and my book as many others have. While I certainly understand her doubts, I am willing to bet she has not read the book. Everything she has written she could have completed by going on my website or just reading the book jacket. So far, every single person who has read the book and gotten back to me, believes it. The proofs are overwhelming. The middle part of Illegally Thin contains the complete report on DNP produced by Stanford University Medical Clinics after almost two years of very large scale human testing. That report supports all of my books claims to perfection. Not to mention that DNP was a prescription drug for five years in this country used by at least one half of one million people. I have used the drug personally now for a total of 70 days or so. I can tell you my experience and that of my family and friends who have used it bears out everything I claim about its safety and efficacy. Modern day underground use is fairly extensive and also proves my claims. Perhaps the greatest proof is the claims and actions of the FDA itself.

    O well, I am just happy to see someone balanced enough to stop at a rational, healthy cynicism, instead of just attacking me without knowing hardly a thing about DNP or my book.

    Anyone who loses weight that fast will end up looking like a puddle of pudding. However, if what they're saying is true it will no doubt pose as a threat to the entire medical industry. Altogether, the government could lose billions of dollars because of one single drug. The idea makes a lot of sense, but I find it a bit hard to digest. Could it be in fact the real deal or just a mere scheme to generate some money? The answer is yet to be known. Even as a skeptic, I feel the urge to get a copy of the book myself. I fall in the same category you described in this article. Anything that has to do with government conspiracy – or anything that relates to conspiracy to that matter – is usually something of interest.

      U.S. Patent #4673691 was issued for a physician controlled weight loss regimen using DNP. Read the patent for a complete description of the clinical method, research, and results.
