Wat een bizarre en vies uitziende afwijkingen hebben ze altijd in Azië. Laatst ook een man met een gigantische tumor in z'n mond en een ander met enorme lappen vel aan zijn hoofd
Toen ik de topictitel las moest ik meteen aan mijn buurvouw denken die zich middels kusjes en knuffels ontfermde over een boom bij ons in de straat waar net een auto tegenaan was geknald

Als we dan toch het topic kicken gelijk maar een update:
An Indonesian fisherman who feared that he would be killed by tree-like growths covering his body has been given hope of recovery by an American doctor - and Vitamin A.
Dede, now 35, baffled medical experts when warty "roots" began growing out of his arms and feet after he cut his knee in a teenage accident.
The welts spread across his body unchecked and soon he was left unable to carry out everyday household tasks.
Sacked from his job and deserted by his wife, Dede has been raising his two children - now in their late teens - in poverty, resigned to the fact that local doctors had no cure for his condition.
To make ends meet he even joined a local "freak show", parading in front of a paying audience alongside victims of other peculiar diseases.
Although supported by his extended family, he was often a target of abuse and ridicule in his rural fishing village.
But now an American dermatology expert who flew out to Dede's home village south of the capital Jakarta claims to have identified his condition, and proposed a treatment that could transform his life.
After testing samples of the lesions and Dede's blood, Dr Anthony Gaspari of the University of Maryland concluded that his affliction is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a fairly common infection that usually causes small warts to develop on sufferers.
Dede's problem is that he has a rare genetic fault that impedes his immune system, meaning his body is unable to contain the warts.
The virus was therefore able to "hijack the cellular machinery of his skin cells", ordering them to produce massive amounts of the substance that caused the tree-like growths known as "cutaneous horns" on his hands and feet.
Dede's counts of a key type of white blood cell are so low that Dr Gaspari initially suspected he may have the Aids virus.
But tests showed he did not, and it became clear that Dede's immune condition was something far rarer and more mysterious.
Warts aside, he had enjoyed remarkable good health throughout his life - which would not be expected of someone with a suppressed immune system - and neither his parents nor his siblings have shown signs of developing lesions.
"The likelihood of having his deficiency is less than one in a million," Dr Gaspari told.
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.
"He won't have a perfectly normal body but the warts should reduce in size to the point where he could use his hands," Dr Gaspari said.
"Over the course of three to six months the warts should be come smaller and fewer in number. He will be living a more normal life."
The most resilient warts could then be frozen off and the growths on his hands and feet surgically removed.
Dr Gaspari hopes to get the necessary drugs free of charge from pharmaceutical firms. They would then be administered by Indonesian doctors under his supervision.
Still intrigued by the origins of Dede's peculiar immune condition, the doctor would like to fly him to the United States for further examination, but fears the financial and bureaucratic barriers would prove too difficult to overcome.
"I would like to bring him to the US to run tests on where his immune condition has come from, but I would need funding and to get him a visa as well as someone to cover the costs of the tests," he said.
"I've never seen anything like this in my entire career."
Overigens is de Indonesische regering pissed over de 'diefstal' van bloed monsters. Zij zijn bang dat er commercieel gebruik van wordt gemaakt en dat er gepatenteerde medicijnen ontwikkeld worden die vervolgens niet betaalbaar zijn voor landen als Indonesie. Ze hebben dezelfde houding mbt tot het vogelgriep virus bijvoorbeeld.

Here we are now, entertain us.
Maar kennelijk is er wat vooruitgang geboekt en heeft de Indonesische regering ingezien dat dit wel erg koud overkomt dus:
Indonesia's health ministry said it had formed a team of specialists on the president's orders to treat a villager dubbed the "Tree Man" because his body is covered in bark-like warts.
Dede, who is known by one name and whose growths on his hands are so long they cover them in long, root-like tendrils, featured in a television documentary this month.
Health ministry spokeswoman Lily Sriwahyuni Sulistiyowati told AFP that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had seen the documentary and asked the ministry to do what it could to help the 35-year-old father of two.
"We have formed a team of 18 specialists to handle Dede's case," she said, adding that they wanted to work with Anthony Gaspari, the US doctor brought in to examine him for the Discovery Channel documentary.
"We will co-operate with him by long-distance communication, or if he wants to join our team, that would be good. We need to think about what's best for Dede and make maximum effort for him," she said.
Asked why the Indonesian government tried to help only after international media had reported on Dede's condition, Sulistiyowati said: "There's nothing wrong if we take a look again at this case.
"We actually treated him for more than one year about ten years ago despite the fact that we could not cure him, as there was no medication for this disease."
Gaspari, a dermatologist from the University of Maryland, told AFP last week that he believes Dede's growths were a combination of a virus that caused warts and a genetic disorder that meant his immune system was too weak to fight them off.
He has said he's negotiating with a US pharmaceutical company to provide an ongoing supply of vitamin A, which would hopefully boost Dede's immune system.
Gaspari's initial plan was to send the medication to Indonesia, but if that did not work, he has said he would try to get Dede to the United States, which the Indonesian health ministry has reportedly said it will not allow.
Health minister Siti Fadillah Supari lashed out at the Discovery Channel on Sunday, claiming it had exploited Dede, who has been earning a living in Indonesia by appearing on a "freak show."
