I try not to be insensitive when it comes to other people's plight. But WTF?!?!
I found this YouTube video, while I was surfing around, documenting Dede, 32, who lives in a remote Indonesian village. The guy "has root like structures growing out of his body - branches that can grow up to 5cm a year and which protrude from his hands and feet, and welts covering his whole body. He is known locally as 'Tree Man' and his condition has baffled local doctors for 20 years."
At the risk of sounding ignorant, how is this even possible? Do you think this is real?
Update: Okay I watched it again. I kind of think it's the real deal.
Update: There may be hope for Dede.

Yes, it is true. He had a virus as a child that caused him to grow warts. Yes, they are warts. It is some rare form... He can be treated but, for now, chooses not to so he can continue with earning his living with a traveling freak show. I watched the documentary last night.
Thanks for the clarification MegJ. That must have been an interesting documentary.
Nice to meet you!!!
