An Indonesian fisherman who is “half man half tree” has been offered new hope of recovery by an American doctor – and Vitamin A.
32-year-old Dede, who lives in a remote village in Indonesia with his
two children, feared that he would be killed by the tree-like growths
that cover his body.
Known locally as ‘Tree Man’ his condition has baffled local doctors for 20 years.
He has root like structures growing out of his body – branches that can
grow up to 5cm a year and which protrude from his hands and feet, and
welts covering his whole body.
