    Wow, I've never seen anything like that.

    I hope someone can find a cure and help this guy and anyone else who suffers from such an affliction.

    It's seeing things like this that make me thank God soooo much for what I have, and don't have. No matter how bad it gets, it could always be worse and you must always be thankful.

    i saw this documentary on sky recently.
    American doctor offered him a treatment guaranteeing that all the warts will go away / fall off and he declined it
    he is a part of street circus group and that is how he earns his money

    I don't know but I would assume that a reporter of talk show host would probably pay more for an exclusive than that man makes over an entire year doing his circus gig. I hope he re-considers.

    yea this is true, they'd talk about how he had this disease and how he was cured and survived.

    Sadly, for him he probably cannot think past what needs to be done to feed himself and his family.

    That's really odd, I've never seen or heard about anything like that before. I wonder how it affects how he does day-to-day things that we do easily every day.

    Yep, being grateful for things you already have(abundance), instead of thinking you haven't got enough(lacking) is a good minset. :)

    I have never heard of such a thing.

    I agree with what has been said, I am grateful to have a healthy, 'regular' body.
