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.

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:

There is currently no scientific evidence to support the idea that a man can physically transform into a tree. It is most likely a fictional concept.

Since it is not scientifically possible for a man to turn into a tree, it is also not possible for them to turn back into a human. Once again, this concept is purely fictional.
