The tree man. The secret of the carrier of one of the strangest and inexplicable diseases

Life often throws up all sorts of surprises and challenges. We are all born with the same physical characteristics. But there are people with special physiology and living for them is sometimes not easy. In some cases even science cannot explain these violations. One of these very rare deviations overtook a resident of Indonesia.

Dede Kosvara was an ordinary child. By the age of 10, he could already develop his elbows and knees more than once. But one fall and the resulting abrasions predetermined his future life. Shortly thereafter, incomprehensible growths in the form of tree bark began to grow on his arms and legs. His body began to become covered with spots in places, and these incomprehensible growths formed in place of the fingers and toes. At first it happened slowly. Then growth intensified. The boy and parents sounded the alarm. They turned to doctors.

Such cases were practically not known to modern medicine before. Doctors in Indonesia faced this for the first time and they did not know how to treat it. Time passed, the boy lived with it. By the age of 25, he could not walk normally and move his arms. They were very similar to tree branches. During this time, he managed to start a family, but family happiness did not last long. He was disabled due to his illness. As a result, his wife left him.

Dede had no choice but to start selling pictures of himself with these growths of his. He also became a member of the freak show troupe, where people with similar anomalies put them on display for the amusement of the audience. Pictures and performances in the theater gave good income. Dede became popular on the Internet. There were TV spots about him.

Once a report about him was seen by an American professor dealing with skin problems. He was very interested in him and wanted to see Dede. He was Anthony Gaspari. Together with his colleagues, he volunteered to help Dede and remove the growths. He said HPV is the cause. And in the case of Dede, his blood does not have substances that can fight various infections that affect the blood. The guy began to actively treat. It turned out that there are about 200 people with this disease in the world and American doctors know something about it and its treatment.

During the treatment the doctors managed to remove the growths from his arms and legs. In total, about 6 kg of it was removed. He finally began to enjoy life again, make plans for the future. He was even able to use hsi cell phone. But the guy’s happiness was short-lived. After a while, they declared themselves in a new way and again the body began to cover with the same things. Kosvara managed to live only 45 years. He went very exhausted from the state caused by his illness and complications from treatment…
