Man who turned into a human tree may be cured

An Indonesian fisherman who feared that he would be killed by tree-like growths covering his body has been given hope of recovery by an American doctor – and Vitamin A.

Dede, now 35, baffled medical experts when warty “roots” began growing out of his arms and feet after he cut his knee in a teenage accident.

The welts spread across his body unchecked and soon he was left unable to carry out everyday household tasks.

Sacked from his job and deserted by his wife, Dede has been raising his two children – now in their late teens – in poverty, resigned to the fact that local doctors had no cure for his condition.

  2. Umm.. I hope that you didn’t bet your friend, because you would have to pay up. It’s a true story. I think that the worst thing to fear if you were a tree man would be girdling.

  7. I’m pretty sure that he’s the only person in the world with super powers, so you guys are ****s for mocking him.

    If I was a tree, I’d f*ck your yard way up.

    He can talk to other trees, and has summoned many a forest in his day.

    If he ever ends up in your yard, none of you jerks will get any shade.

  11. Themaster is dead right…
    i watched a tree man (many moons ago..) summon the woods out side my house, to take over and demolish a hole chainsaw factory.
    It was very scary…..

    i think this was caused by a dog “barking” at him to loud!.

    the end is coming
    Everyone run in fear, BECAUSE TREE MAN IS HERE!!!

    Weirdness on 26 May 2008 at 7:10 pm
  15. Yes he’s real. He was featured on a the Discovery Channel. The growths are caused by the human papilloma virus, which normally causes tiny warts, but because of an immune deficiency, this man was unable to restrain their growth. He’s not the only one with this. A man in one of the Baltic states has it also. Last I heard he had surgery to remove the growths from his right hand. I wonder how all the people who laugh at him would manage if they had to live with his condition.

  16. Poor guy! This would not happen if all people were well fed and had access to doctors locally.. there’s enough money in the world and the talent too.
    It just shows again how far we have fallen from man’s original duty to ‘look after the earth’ ! God must weep!
    On the positive side it also shows how humans have the spirit to overcome and even laugh in the direst of situations – did you notice his lovely smile!
    There are poor people all over the world who, despite their circumstances, can smile! This is remarkable and shows we can get used to almost anything – not that we should have to of course.
    On a scientific note: how long before some scientist comes out with the theory that it’s an evolutionary ‘leap’ !! Honestly ! Evolution is a dead dog.. why do we let our students even learn it ?!
    Finally: It’s sad to see the bad language and sexual references in many of these replies – have you no standards?

  17. Truly amazing pictures – I really feel for him – I am proud of his kids as they stuck with him when the missus did not. Fantastic story.

  34. Can I just point out that most of the people that have commented on this are absolute and unabridged ****s?! This guy lost his wife, his job, and his life in general because of a disease that no-one else has to this extent. And you ****s are laughing at him?! And mister “ive got the same problem”, you are the worst. Burn in hell, you lying ****.
