Shocking Video of Man Who Grows Roots | Half Man, Half Tree

An Indonesian man who suffers from a rare disease which causes tree-like growths all over his body is seeking help from American medics.
This is a video of an 35 year old Indonesian fisherman named Dede. His body began to grow warty “roots” which started growing tree-like growths out of his arms and feet after he cut his knee in a teenage accident.
Slowly these “cutaneous horns” became so large that he could not work, walk properly or use his hands. Consequently, he could no longer care for his children, and his fellow villagers subjected him to abuse and ridicule.
Local doctors were baffled as to the growths’ cause. Dr Anthony Gaspari, a dermatology expert at the University of Maryland in the US, heard about Dede’s plight and flew to Indonesia to carry out an investigation.
