Here is a possible concise summary:
A 22-year-old man who was obsessed with losing weight took a dangerous chemical called DNP, which interferes with the energy production in the cells and causes extreme heat and organ failure. He accidentally overdosed on it and was brought to the hospital, where doctors struggled to save his life. He survived thanks to a medicine that lowered his body temperature and his own willpower. He now shares his story on YouTube and warns others not to take DNP or other fat loss substances.
