fake or real?

i found this on a site not to be mentioned since it contains what the mods seem to refer to as the devils work
this is what somebody said it was all about:

Deep in wilds of Indonesia sits Dede, a man whose body is a mass of gnarled root-like growths With his rootlike feet and gnarled hands, he is known as "The Tree Man".

Living in a remote village in the wilderness of Indonesia, 36-year-old father-of-two Dede has stunned medical experts.

Most of his body is covered in growths which have become so large and thick they look like twisted tree roots growing out of his skin.

Dede says his worst fear is that the cruel disorder will kill him before doctors have a chance to save him.

"I am scared that it will grow across my face and end up covering it all up," the former construction worker says. "I'm so afraid I won't be able to see, that I won't be able to eat."

Dede grew up in a tiny hamlet near Trizzle, south of Jakarta, the capital of the volcanic island of Java.

He enjoyed a completely normal childhood, but just after he turned 15 he cut his knee in an accident on a building site.

The injury - not deemed to be at all serious at the time - was to change his life forever.

Within weeks, a huge growth had emerged from inside his wound.

He says at first he was not unduly worried, believing it was a wart which would eventually drop off.

But it didn't. And shortly afterwards, horrific welts started to spring up all over his body.

"The first one was cut off in an operation, but that didn't stop it. Instead it just grew back faster.

"Then it started on my foot, then my arms, then my other foot and then on my head," says Dede.

By the time he had reached his early 20s, he could no longer hold a tool and struggled to complete basic tasks. He was fired and has remained unemployed since.

His wife also left him, leaving him to raise their two children, Entis, now 18, and Entang, 16, on his own.

"I feel sad because my wife left me," says Dede. "And with my condition I cannot look after my kids. I miss working very much. But unfortunately I just can't do it."

found it funny that "he" (if its true) named his kid Entang(le)

there was a documentary on it last night at 11 on one of the docu channels on sky. It was awful. There wasnt just Dede, there were a few of them, and some bloke used them as a circus show so they could make money to feed their families. Some doctor in america got to the root (no pun intended) of the problem and may have found a cure, but as the programme ended, Dede had refused the treatment, in order to carry on as a freak show

I saw something about this on the BBC website yesterday - he has a crap immune system and basically he has warts... but because of his crap immune system the wart virus basically hijacked his body and became out of control. It can be cured by Vitamin A supplements...
