It has got to be a horrible way to live. Luckily it may not be hopeless.

Dr Gaspari, who became involved in the case through a Discovery Channel documentary, believes that Dede's condition can be largely cleared up by a daily doses of a synthetic form of Vitamin A, which has been shown to arrest the growth of warts in severe cases of HPV.
 
Wow. :bugeye:
 
There was once a guy with an extreme hair growth over his body, but this is just unbelievable.
 
Wow, I hope they can do the things they're hoping to do for him.
 
I don't mind stating for the record: simply by viewing the responses so far, I am NOT going to watch that video. EVER!

actually it really isn't that disturbing, but rather just a case of a very intriguing medical anomaly.
 
One of the most extreme medical anomalies I have ever seen. It didn't look like he was in pain, but very uncomfortable. I hope they are able to help him.
 
I really want to see him if he gets fixed.

Show this to the Christians who don't like the HPV vaccine. :smile:
