warning: not for those who easily faint or throw up
update: its not roots, but looks like wood, or shrubbery, from his hands and feet.

- I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us. My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years. I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask. Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

I have seen some things in my time, but never anything like that. That poor man!
Dude...
What the??? Looks like he needs a pedicure and a manicure.
totally weird.
Ah, the half-man, half-tree. A documentary on him has been on the TV a lot in Britain lately.
Apparently Dr Gaspari is positive about treating the condition:
"An Indonesian man suffering from a rare skin condition that causes his body to be covered with tree-like growths may soon get help from an American doctor, according to a report in the British newspaper the Telegraph.
Dede, 35, who has gnarled growths sprouting from his hands and feet, has baffled medical experts since the warty "roots" began appearing after he injured himself as a teenager.
But dermatology expert Dr. Anthony Gaspari, a specialist in immunology and skin allergies at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, told the newspaper that he can treat the condition."
Best of luck to Dede :-)
About your request for advice on my blog - I don't advise people how to give up smoking.
I am a point of contact at work for stopping smoking, and I recommend people go to their GPs. No one can give up unless they really want to....

I'm a little sick to my stomach now. That's very bizaar. Poor man.
How did you ever find this??? Lordy...! I really had to stop watching it...it was kind of sickening. Poor man, indeed!
Here from Mixhele tonight, David.....
This is really a shocking thing to see.
Whoa - that is one of those truth stranger than fiction type of things. I've never seen anything like it outside of science fiction. Apparently an immunosystem weakness allows a fungus to adapt the human body.
Ew! I think I need to get myself a stronger stomach. Michele sent me by on this lovely Sunday to wish you a peaceful day of rest
