It has got to be a horrible way to live. Luckily it may not be hopeless.

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.

One of the most extreme medical anomalies I have ever seen. It didn't look like he was in pain, but very uncomfortable. I hope they are able to help him.

I really want to see him if he gets fixed.

Show this to the Christians who don't like the HPV vaccine. :smile:
