Half Man, Half Tree(Viewer Discretion Advised)
« on: February 22, 2008, 12:27 AM »

I was watching TLC last light when I came across a man with a disease. The narrator described the man as Half man, half tree. I quickly changed the channel, didn't even bother to know the cause. I beg you not to watch this if you can't stand anything abnormal, I'm not even going to watch it. Viewer Discretion Adviced.

Who knows?

I think somehow his body is not receiving the signal to stop making the normal skin tissues needed to replace the cells lost by normal wear and tear and the mechanism has somehow gone haywire.
The woody appearance must be from excess keratinization.

This is so sad.
I wonder how he's able to cope with this bizarre situation.

Good job Nwando and Chiegemba I knew the guy needed a biopsy.

Not surprised about HPV at all.

You would be very impressed by 15x12x18cm cauliform growth from the anal area of a gay man we saw yesterday.

Biopsy also showed HPV.

na wa o.I feel for that guy.There are different things we just cannot explain as individuals.I watched the stuff on Youtube.I don't want to use the word disgusting because the guy is a human being like myself.I also saw other terrible clips such as elephant man,demon baby,man with hole in the head.
May God keep us safe from such bad occurrences.
