: MediatakeOut.com has learned that an Indonesian man is suffering from a rare condition under which roots grow from his extremities. He'll be coming to the United States for treatment shortly.
All we want to know is if that mess is contagious???? If it is, we may want to keep his behind over in Indonesia....

I'M LMAO AT ALL THE PEOPLE LTAO! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE, SO OBVIOUSLY IT IS A VERY RARE CONDITION. I'M NOT SURE IF EVEN MEDICINE IN THE U.S COULD CURE THIS MAN. I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN REVERSE WHAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED, BUT PERHAPS THEY CAN PREVENT A BRANCH FROM POPPING OUT OF HIS HEAD.
I had to investigate this is what I found:
'Tree man' finds virus at the root of his condition 17 November 2007
Magazine issue 2630 HIS hands and feet resemble clumps of branches and his body is covered with unsightly brown welts that could pass for bark. Now Dede, who is 36 and lives near Bandung in West Java, Indonesia, has finally learned what causes the growths that have afflicted him since the age of 18 - and a possible way to treat them.
After analysing samples of Dede's tissue and blood, Anthony Gaspari at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore has discovered that they are caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) - which also causes ordinary warts.
People are normally able to clear HPV within a year. Gaspari thinks Dede is unable to because he suffers from a rare immune deficiency caused by the inheritance of two defective genes and resulting in abnormally low numbers of protective white blood cells called CD4 cells. Yet Dede has never suffered from any other illness. .
That is some of the weirdest s/h/i/t i've every fukkin seen, damn!
The rare condition is caused by an extreme case of Human Papilloma Virus. His immunse system is unable to contain the warts which fused with his skin cells causing 'horn like' growth. It's kinda like seeing someone with big nast nails growing from their extremeties.
With a large dose of Vitamin A and freeze removal he should be back to normal.
MTO - Please fire the person who posted this lack of information nonsense.
WHY DO YOU GUYS FEEL THE NEED TO DUMB DOWN YOUR SITE> STEP IT UP A BIT BEFORE YOU LOOSE THE LAST EDUCATED VISITOR.
That's why we got [EXPLETIVE] over here now and they don't know what to do to get rid of the [EXPLETIVE]!! This is why I don't let people touch me, nor do I touch faucets,or the knobs before or after I wash my hands. People are nasty and i know because I see it everyday!! And ladies, please wash your hands before you go to the bathroom. When we wipe we spread germs. Just a tip I got myself from "The Michael Baisden Show".
I hope this disease don't kill this man and he finds a cure. God help him!

A new twist on African American News and Entertainment
@DOGGY....
1st unexplainable thing is how did he get that shirt on and the sleeves are not stretched out of shape? His hands can't go through arms of that shirt?
Don't feel sorry for him cause he does seem to be happy. Bet his woman loves it when he gets a woodie. Good and stiff. LOL. Sorry that was a sick joke but that's life.
@girlbye36 and nyindr THANK YOU! I love it when black folks actually research and want to know the true story and learn, rather than trusting MTO when it comes to "medical" type stories. I knew men could get HPV but I never knew that this could result from an infection. Interesting...
And about his smiling. I have always wondered how people who are so less fortunate than we, seem to be happier than Americans. It's an internal happiness that I envy. But I wonder how painful that is....
You know something is actually bothering me! He "apparently" has this "condition" that makes him slowly transform into a tree but can someone please tell me how he was able to put on that shirt???? With the size of his "hands" i dont see how it was possible for his hands to go thru the sleeves. Also, i cant find anything online about this condition. if someone has any links or whatever, i would love to read about this
Tiaje but wouldn't ya think if he tried to have intercourse that maybe his woman's coody make catch splinters? OWWWWWEEEEE!!! LMAO!!! That sounds very painful....okay I shouldn't make jokes but he seems to be happy bu umm umm please have a US doctor go there to perform the surgery...we have way too much to deal with already...AIDS, STAFF INFECTIONS, etc.
MTO IS SO SILLY! The man is not growing roots, he's growing WARTS! They just resemble roots. I can't take looking at it. I watched the clips from the show he's going to be on. I started to itch. I'm not saying that to try to be funny either. I really did start to itch and had to get away from that page. OMG. Okay, so they said that the dudes white cell count is so low that they initially thought he had AIDS, but that does not, he only has warts. But what if the warts are somehow masking the virus or the virus is manifesting itself as warts or something? I gotta stop talking about this now because I'm just wowed and a bit grossed out as well. Bye.
responsible journalism requires that you at least tell people what this condition is, dont just scare people. and for every1 who says he should stay in indonesia y'all are unfair. why the hell do americans think that they are the [EXPLETIVE], last i cheked some of you dont even live the american dream. stop being selfish and ignorant,it aint contagious, get your head outta your butt for just one second...
