A man dubbed ‘Tree Man of Java’ is planning to get married after 4lb of bark were cut away. Dede Koswara, 37, says he plans to get hitched now that he can use his hands and walk without pain. Tree man: ‘I want to get married’ Dede Koswara says he hopes to get married again Speaking from an Indonesian hospital, he told the Daily Telegraph website: “What I really want first is to get better and find a job. But then, one day, who knows? I might meet a girl and get married.” Dede’s first wife left him and he lost his job because of his bizarre affliction. At one point to feed his two children he joined a freak show with other victims of peculiar diseases. But now, following a series of operations to cut away the tree-like growths, he can see the outline of his toes for the first time. He has also become a sudoko addict now he can hold a pen. He said he hopes that he will resume a normal life after two more operations to graft undamaged skin onto his hands, feet and face. Since Dede cut his knee as a teenager, strange roots have been growing out of him. Indonesian "Tree Man" Continues Treatment For Human Papilloma Virus A small wart developed on his lower leg and spread uncontrollably. But last year US dermatology expert Dr Anthony Gaspari took up his case.

But in Dede’s case he had an extremely rare immune system deficiency, leaving his body unable to contain the warts.

The shrine was opposite my house and some of my friends were selling things in front of the place, and we were just there doing our own thing, while Baba was inside doing his own thing as usual. It was the boys that made us know him well. They came to buy cigarettes from my friends, and wanted to take candy sweets for free, and I was a kind of person that would never allow anybody take me or the people around me for a ride. I protested, and the next thing I knew, was that a hot slap landed on the cheek of my friend selling the goods, and that’s how we started fighting, that Fela had to come out. We narrated what happened to him, so Fela took the boy that slapped my friend inside and punished him. After that, Fela sent one of his drivers to me that if I’m chanced, I should come and see him. Initially, I didn’t want to go in, because my people must not see me in that kind of environment. I was 16 years old as at then but I had a big stature. When I got in, Fela said I should follow any of the cars to his house, but I didn’t go. That was how I knew Fela liked me, and I liked him too, so every Sunday jump, I was always going there, well-dressed. Whenever he was going in, he always looked in our direction. However, to cut the long story short, we eventually began dating. What was your parent’s reaction when they knew you were in Kalakuta?
