Holy ****, DUDE THAT'S F***ING FREAKY! (srry for censors)

 

i feel badfor him...

 

I no. Seriously though, he got all that through a cut? Wow...

 

That's really harsh to think someone has lived like that for so long and endured all he has. To think that's just caused by a viral strain that most of the time causes people warts. =:/ His immune system is so weak against it that it just spiraled out of control. I had to look up some articles on him to understand what actually was going on there. The guy's name is Dede and he's from Indonesia; there are some articles on him.

I'm glad to see the guy can get some help. Apparently his wife abandoned him and his children and he had to work in a freak show to make money and support them. He had also received a lot of ridicule around where he lived. People are such jerks sometimes. I am glad to see that this guy could get help from something as simple as heavy vitamin A and this doctor wants to try to help him even further and bring him to the States. Hope he gets better though they don't think he'll have a 'full' recovery as in he'll probably have scars and such, he'll at least be able to function and use his hands and feet etc and spend better time with his children.

 

I remember hearing something about getting some kind of skin treatment. Though I don really understand how that would help very much.

And thx for the info. Haven't looked into him very much.

^There's some more stuff about him.


I feel terrible for him. It must be so strange to lose the use of your hands and feet. The pattern that his "warts" grew in was really tree-looking. They grow rapidly. It said they grow about 5 mm a month. I hope that the doctors on his case will be able to find a sufficient way to cure him or at least keep the growths monitored. It is amazing that it all started from a cut as a teenager.

thats sad though - i hope the operation works

 

It's not just an operation, it's a series of small procedures to minimize the growths and hopefully stop them from coming back.
​

 

He's going to be getting strong doses of Vitamin A that is said to counter the effects of warts, and with some that remain, they are going to work on freezing them off and removing them to help him get use of his hands and feet again and though he may not ever be 100% looking clean skinned and all, he will feel much better and be able to perhaps support his children and not be an object of a freak show.

The doctor now is trying to get support to fly Dede to the States and I hope that some people take him up on that. It looks like he already gave the guy some new clothes and such to help him out. Maybe he could even get his kids and himself out of Indonesia where he's faced so much humiliation from the locals but either way I can only see things hopefully getting better now, after all this pain.

 

thats true repliku

 

Your information about him is painfully inaccurate. He is NOT part tree, he has a genetic disorder. The growths on him are "warts". He is not an amalgamation And his disorder is not "cool".
