Dede Koswara - The Tree Man Undergoes Treatment
Dede Koswara, 37, who is also known as ‘The Tree Man of Java’ had underwent four major operations that hacked away the bark like tissue sprouting from his hands and feet. Dede was able to see the outline of his toes for the first time as medics removed more than 4lbs of warts from his body. Spending his last 20 years (his ordeal started when he was 15 and cut his knee where a small wart developed and spread) with the bizarre condition, Dede expressed that he wants to get better and find a job and hopes that one day he will meet a girl and get married.

[…] Dede kan nu lopen zonder dat hij helse pijnen moet doorstaan. Hij kan weer schrijven en is prompt een hevige sudokufan geworden. De dokters hopen tijdens volgende operaties gezond huidweefsel over te planten op de handen, voeten en aangezicht van de ‘boomman’. Schrijft Hemmy.net. […]

Dear Mr Dede Koswara and other intereted in this problem !
I am Vietnamese
Sorry, the first I say is I am sorry because Iam bad at English in School, so may be you can’t understand What i say
Ican say to you that, in Vietnamese, there is a tree name is “Tía Tô” can fix the problem, may be, I am not sure
About 4 year later, i have only 1 warts on the foot, when i go to hospital to fix it, the doctor burn it. After 1 week, there are more in all my body, hand, foot….
My friend say me to use “Tía tô”
I use “Tia to” leaf and grind it with some Salt and put it into injury (already scrape to Bleed)
After 2 week, all warts is death, and I can get it out
Ref: I only use for about 5 large warts , but all (about 14 warts ) is death after 2 week
it is Folk art of Viet Nam
I can’t explain exactly it to You, but I think it is very nessesary for you to death all warts on your body
Good luck !

I used to have warts -small ones- when I was young. My father used to scrape them off with a nail file after soaking them in warm salt water daily and apply salt again afterward. They eventually got thinner and thinner until they all disappeared completely. This method may not necessarily apply in Dede’s condition, but if any readers have the same problem I had, give it a try. The bottom line is “Do what you can to get rid of them. Do not wait until they grow uncontrollably”.
