AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a man suffering from a rare medical condition that causes him to develop tree-like growths on his body, attributed to severe HPV. Viewers are encouraged to watch videos documenting his condition, although some express reluctance to do so. Dr. Gaspari, involved through a Discovery Channel documentary, suggests that a synthetic form of Vitamin A may significantly improve the man's situation by halting wart growth associated with HPV. While some find the condition disturbing, others view it as a fascinating medical anomaly and express hope for potential treatment outcomes. The conversation also touches on the HPV vaccine, linking it to broader discussions about public health and vaccination attitudes.

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:
