my dream is to be a rapper and I accomplished that everybody's unique and oneof a kind even twins have their own differences but some people are so unique and special that you almost can't believe they're real first they fundamentally transcend what we've been led to believe a human should and could be these are 20 people you won't believe existed until you see [Music] them number 20 Keith Martin crap this is the deeply disturbing and ultimately tragic story of Keith Martin a man who was once given the official title of the world's fattest man and that
is a world record that nobody actually wants to hold back when he was at his heaviest Keith weighed an astounding 980 lb and had a waistline that measured about 6 fet round he would eat as much as 20,000 calories every single day and had not left the confines of his home in over a decade after all those years of being so large he just wanted to sit comfortably in a normalized chair instead of being trapped in a specially built and reinforced bed so Keith underwent drastic but life-changing surgery receiving the gastric sleeve surgery which removed
about 3/4 of his stomach and then set him on the path to lose a lot of the weight that had held him back for so long he was estimated to have lost hundred hundreds of pounds after the surgery over time and eventually get back his chance to live a normal kind of life but sadly that was not enough to save him only 8 months after he had the operation he got ill and ultimately died of pneumonia at the tender age of 44 years old before we go on like this video smash the Subscribe button and

feels as though this photo was probably taken between the 70s and '90s making it even more strange that there's no known record of the guy but from the look on his face he sadly appears to be in a great deal of distress and pain here's the hoping you had a peaceful ending as always let me know your thoughts in the comment section down below by using the # sweet topic number 19 Ronnie and Donnie gallion I'm Ronnie I'm Donnie Ronnie and Donnie gallion were born in Dayton Ohio all the way back back in 1951 when
they arrived in the world everyone would be shocked that they were twins but even more so that they were conjoined Ronnie and Donnie were joined from the chest to the groin and they also shared just one set of organs after a long Hospital stay following their birth it would be decided that it was not possible to separate the twins they had a tough childhood and schools refused to educate them saying that they would be a distraction and they never learned to read and write enough to get by in life they would be be taken on
tour as a sideshow attraction throughout the United States and South America and became famous through this which also provided them an income that actually supported their entire family after they retired the twins lived a quiet life although they appeared on television a few times in their later years when they died in 2020 the gallion Twins were the oldest conjoined twins to have lived number 18 s very well next up we have an especially upsetting story which may or may not be hearsay it seems as though it could be just as likely to be the concoction
of someone with an overactive and twisted imagination as much as it may be an actual news report so I do apologize I do like to at least offer an honest approach to the stories that we look at here at the fancy banana even when they're completely outlandish but sometimes well you know the internet this alleged Story Goes a bit like this a mother who had already had several children of regular appearance then gave birth to a baby that was the victim of a serious disability which had affected the way it developed and when that baby
was finally born people apparently took one look and then ran for the hills screaming about demons now I know this may seem a little extreme but there are unfortunately people who genuinely look at this world in this way and it's extremely not awesome in this instance it's also said that the father returned the baby and the mother to the hospital and said to send the baby back to the devil where it came from well that's really quite disturbing indeed and things like this do happen but I like to say who knows what extent any of
this is an actual event so we should just swiftly move on number 17 bablo now we have another story in which ignorance and hateful beliefs have caused Untold damages to the life of another person but this time we're with a young man named bblu from Mumbai in India bblu has a hugely oversized arm that weighs about 44 lb all by itself likely caused by something known localized as gigantism this term refers to an uncommon medical condition where a specific area of the body grows to an excessive and abnormal size whereas the rest of the body
remains with regular parameters this localized overgrowth is often seen in limbs fingers or toes and it can result from all kinds of different things like genetic mutations or abnormalities in growth plate regulation conditions like the protea syndrome or neurofibromatosis may also add their own complications to this localized gigantism and the affected body part becomes disproportionately larger than any typical limb making life pretty tricky in many ways but especially with functional and cosmetic challenges treatment may involve surgical interventions to manage the excess growth along with addressing Associated issues but for some people like BBL this is
not been possible and it is expensive he suffered from the addition of Cruelty by his family and neighbors and was actually disowned by his own family and then to add insult to injury the local people decided to start calling him the Devil's Child people really are the actual worse sometimes now aren't they number 16 Francisco Domingo Wakim back along in 2008 to be precise when the internet was slightly less full of all of the worst stuff that we humans have ever thought of there was a guy who had a really massive mouth and people thought
that looking at him on the internets was way cool and kind of interesting these days he might get a brief scroll by but who really knows this is Francisco Domingo Wakim who also goes by the name of Chino and the angolan jaw of awe which is kind of catchy really if you happen to like that sort of thing he's famous for having a really big and stretchy mouth it does take all sorts and the clipboard clutchers from the big old Guinness book actually went and tracked this internet sensation down so that they could poke all
kinds of stuff into his famous mouth and see if it measured up and apparently it really did his mouth measured 6.69 in and he could stuff all kinds of interesting things in there his mouth was officially deemed to be the widest and stretchiest that was known in the whole wide world what a fun one number 15 s mtad s mumtaz is a young man from laor in Pakistan whose life has been severely affected by A congenital condition that has caused his head hands and feet to grow to abnormally large sizes it's believed that he has
protea syndrome this is an extremely rare and complex genetic disorder that causes all kind of disproportionate overgrowth of various tissues leading to irregular and asymmetrical development named after the Greek god Proteus known for his ability to change shape this condition results from a sporadic mutation in the akt1 gene individuals who have the syndrome may experience overgrowth of Bones skin and other tissues and this can cause some severe deformities the syndrome can affect different people in so many different ways that there's no one outcome for these genetic mutations currently there's no cure for the condition and
the treatment focuses on managing Associated health issues the condition first really gained attention from the public through the story of Joseph Merrick AKA The Elephant Man and Merrick likely had a different disorder s has had a terrible time in accepting his condition once believing that it was a curse from God he says that people used to run away from him and were scared to even look at him but that slowly changed and they now call him giant friend he has finally found a sense of community in the local people and supportive friends and family and
hopes that aure will one day be discovered his only real wish in life is to find love number 14 Marty Sheidy my name is Marty SHI I'm 21 years old this is Marty Sheidy the founder of the project scissor gate foundation and has defied all expectations pretty much since the day that he was born that's because Marty was born with several different congenital conditions including anthor gpos and prune belly syndrome doctors were so worried about his health that they said he wouldn't make it to see 4 years of age but he did and not only
did he survive he's continued to live every day to the fullest and has set out to help others as well arthrogryposis is a rare congenital disorder that causes joint contractures and limited movement in the limbs this condition can affect multiple joints and the results from insufficient fetal movement in utero the lack of normal joint development leads to stiffness and a reduced range of motion in the affected joints now impacting Mobility arthrosis is not a single disease but a group of conditions with diverse causes treatment may involve Physical Therapy Orthopedic intervention and in some cases surgery
to improve joint function despite its challenges individuals with it will often demonstrate resilience and adaptability in navigating through their daily life just like Marty he also has something called prune belly syndrome it's a rare congenital condition primarily affecting males and is characterized by the absence of severe underdevelopment of abdominal muscles causing a wrinkled appearance the syndrome may also involve urinary and gastrointestinal abnormalities Marty has continued to work Tire lessly to help others who have been born with similar conditions to get the best chance in life and share his experiences to support others while raising awareness
of these complex conditions number 13 the oldest Buddhist monk this was Lang fo yaa he was super old although you could likely tell that he was no spring chicken from the images you're seeing in fact he was believed to have been 109 years old when he passed away in 2022 now he was kind of Internet famous for a minute there when he appeared in some Tik Tok videos with his granddaughter and his great granddaughter and naturally what with the internet being an absolute monster instead of being amazed at his age and his lovely relationship with
his family people decided it was much more interesting to speculate about a lot of pretty rude things there were the absolute Muppets who said that he was undertaking the Japanese custom of soku shinsu apparently it means self-mummification and then there were other Charmers who insisted that he was actually a 399 year-old woman because of course isn't the internet just such a wonderful invention number 12 Paul Alexander one of the most cruel of childhood illnesses and now mercifully almost eliminated by successful vaccination programs polio was a terrifying reality for children and their families in the 1950s
this devastating illness struck quickly and could cause total paralysis there was no known cure and children who contracted the illness were often left with life-changing effects Paul Alexander was one of those children in the summer of 1952 he was feeling rather unwell having a sore head and neck and was running a high fever within a matter of days that previously healthy six-year-old couldn't move speak or swallow I was 6 years old and polio had paralyzed him from the neck down so he would be placed inside of a large still ventilator which was known as an
iron lung in order to help him continue to breathe and it did do the job for the next 70 years Alexander had never given up he studied written a book and even continued to hope all from within the confines of his iron lung the machine saved his life and he never allowed the disease to Define his entire existence so he continues to fight even until this day number 11 astion got a D born in 2002 to a Kurdish family in Iran afin was special from the beginning he's now an internet personality and has been recently
given the official title of world's shortest man by our old Pals at the Big Book of Guinness World Records the honor was officially bestowed upon him back in December of 2022 and he's been riding High ever since well metaphorically High since he only measures in at about 25.6 n in this is remarkably short and is a full 2.8 in shorter than the previous world record holder he currently can be seen doing all of his internet stuff all over the old Instagram if you're even interested in following his life online number 10 need an Nelly Colin
life for conjoined twins is extremely tough their bodies are often under enormous pressure either because they share vital organ an or because they suffer from many dangerous conditions as if that were not enough the life expectancy of conjoined twins is often desperately short and many will be given very little chance of surviving past childhood NE and Nelly Colin's mother was told during the birth of her children that they were going to be born joined at the head the doctor said that the twins who have their own brains and bodies would not be able to be
separated because they share a vital artery at the point where they're joined on the back of their heads in in fact those same doctors went so far as to say that they would not live beyond the age of 10 years old for the same reason except they've survived much longer they turned 18 A couple of years ago and began their own YouTube channel defying all expectations about their chances of Life number nine Chen tanzi when Chen tanzi was born she had a backward bending knee condition which is extremely rare and actually only occurs in about
one in 100,000 births sadly for her her situation was quite bad she couldn't use her legs and so she learned to move around by crawling the people in the village where she grew up in southeast China called her The Crawling girl and her family was poor and couldn't afford to pay for treatment when she was young in order to help out with the condition so she just had to manage and move around the best she could by using her arms she suffered from congenital ginu recurvatum which is a rare Orthopedic condition that presents as hyperextension
of the knee joint at Birth this abnormal backward curvature of the lower leg can result from various factors including genetic predisposition or intrin positioning while some cases resolve naturally as the child grows severe instances may require Orthopedic intervention such as bracing or surgery to correct the deformity but then when she was 26 years old she finally took her very first steps her life-changing surgery was finally paid for with the help of several Charities and she was taken to Taiwan to receive a series of treatments that would end up changing her entire life it took a
total of seven separate operations and 10 months in hospital to receive care but now she's able to use her legs despite believing for her entire life she would never have the chance to walk number eight Tina Earls when Tina Earls had a sore inside of her nose all the way back in 2012 she initially didn't think a whole lot about it but then it began to itch like crazy and started dripping with gunge shortly after this the entirety of the left side of her face would go numb and it became insufferable so in 2013 she
went to the doctor and she was told that it was just an infected hair follicle but after a few months a bump had grown on the side of her nose again she was fobbed off and sent away but the bump grew and grew and she began making trips to a specialist where they tried all manner of potions and ents but nothing was helping to reduce the lump eventually a different specialist decided to biopsy the bump and they quickly determined that the growth was cancer part of her nose was removed and they waited to see whether
she had solved the issue but it was much worse than they first thought so the doctors would suggest radiotherapy she then decided she needed a better chance at survival so she asked for them to cut it all out this would leave her without her nose but she would survive and she now raises awareness about this little known but also deadly condition number seven Runa beum Runa beum was born with a devastating condition that narrowed her chances of life to a fraction her head was to grow to three times the size that it should have been
and she was to suffer with horrible symptoms while she waited for medical help she had something called hydris a neurological condition which is understood to be the abnormal accumulation of cerebral spinal fluid within the brain's ventricles this buildup exerts pressure upon the brain leading to potential damage hydrophilus can result from congenital factors infection hemorrhages or tumors and the terrible symptoms can include an enlarged head nausea vision problems and cognitive impairment treatment often involves surgical interventions such as shunt placements to redirect excess fluid or endoscopic procedures to address underlying causes early diagnosis and intervention are crucial
for managing because she has not been sitting till now her neck muscles would not be developed that and mitigating potential complications sadly for Runa intervention was not in any way Swift enough and she was awaiting a life-saving surgery when she passed away from her condition at just the age of 5 years old number six deepo jangra deepok jangra is from India and has the very cool moniker of electroman and may just be the coolest actual living superhero that the world has ever known if he can only learn to harness his powers for the greater good
of the World At Large he has the very rare and unique ability to harness voltage through his body he's been known to actually power light bulbs withstand massive electric shock that would kill a large wild animal in an instant and even wraps his body and copper wiring in order to power appliances but as it was once said with great power comes great responsibility and in this case it's his responsibility not to take things too far he's been known to push himself even to the point where his talents and skills have made him temporarily blind number
five aoon Rec are Imagine waking up one day to discover that you had developed a kind of superpower not the cool or useful ones like flying or teleportation but rather a strange one this guy realized he was suddenly magnetic the thing was though he couldn't control it like an X-Man or Magneto or anything he just sort of had to attach metal objects to his body he does indeed appear to have a magnetic force field around his body this means that he's very attractive to Spoons anyways he was kind of thrilled with the discovery and enjoyed
the extra attention that it brought on whipping a shirt off at any available opportunity in order to demonstrate his magnetic powers he claims that he's most magnetic on his chest his stomach and his back hence the removal of clothing in the aspect of his talents what actually causes him to be magnetic well that's a little bit of a mystery but it's believed that just as his powers arrived so too will they one day be gone but until then he will no doubt continue to attach all manner of Cutlery to his midrift as one does number
four Isaiah aosta Isaiah aosta has been fighting from the moment that he was born amongst an entire host of medical issues he took on at Birth it would also be discovered that he had a rare condition known as agnia in which the body is left without a jaw because of this and his other problems at Birth he was not expected to make it however he is a true example of what happens when a Parent's Love Takes Over and the will of the being shines through now in his adult years Isaiah is an accomplished rapper my
dream is to be a rapper and I accomplished that public speaker an inspiration for people all over the world he speaks through a text to speech app on his phone and explains himself as being funny wild and loving as he's gotten older the opportunity for cosmetic jaw surgery came into the picture but he refused saying simply that he loves how God made him and he likes the way that he is and wouldn't change a thing these days he has a large following on his Tik Tok Channel where he's been known to entertain followers with his
dancing and rapping skills as well as sharing the roadblocks of his daily life as a means of inspiring others while helping to smash the stigmas that come along with being disabled number three claudo Vieira de Ola when claudo was born he was not really expected to even live to be one day old but he has sens defied all expectation and has lived for more than four decades in his lifetime he's not only lived but he's also inspired others to live as well claudo was born with a very rare condition that affects his muscular system it's
known as something that sounds like I'm vomiting if I were to try and pronounce and essentially means that he has an extremely complicated ated body including an upside down head and extreme deformities in his limbs he also suffers from muscular atrophy in his legs and both his arms are fused to his chest he was carried around by his mother until about the age of 7 years old and then at the age of 8 he began to walk on his knees despite all of the huge obstacles that he's faced in his life he is qualified accountant
and has chosen to be a motivational speaker an author and an allaround inspiration number two Adam Pearson although they were born identical twins Adam and Neil Pearson suffer from a rare condition with a condition somehow Boren or inherently bad called neurofibromatosis the twins have each been affected by the disease in very different ways and it's altered their appearance so that these identical twins now look nothing alike Adam suffers from benign tumors that grow on his face whereas Neil appears relatively unaffected outwardly but has experienced neurological issues that have severely impacted his memory this is a
kind of genetic disorder in which tumors form in the body in the nervous system they attach themselves to nerve tissue and are generally benign non-cancerous growths and symptoms are often mild now there have been some extreme cases however and complications from this type of disorder can lead to hearing loss cardiovascular problems loss of Vision Learning difficulties and sometimes severe pain to live with any kind of chronic condition is no picnic but the various sorts of this disease can cause extreme growths anywhere on the body and occasionally these are so thoroughly invasive that they literally cover
a person's entire face and their body it's a difficult condition to live with at the extreme end of the spectrum but those who do have rare personalities they give them a different level of strength to manage their condition in a world that doesn't appreciate differences number one Paul Carrison Paul Carrison is from madira California and he was really really blue rather reluctant to hire blue people or people that are it wasn't some sort of blue rinse pastel he was legitimately like Blue Man Group blue he began turning blue about a decade ago when he was
attempting to treat a skin condition on his face and the technique that he used to treat it was just a little bit unusual it was definitely not recommended he used silver preparation which he applied directly to his skin and he also began taking colloidal silver in liquid form this is silver that is suspended in the fluid the use of such remedies for skin complaints was actually quite common before the invention of penicillin so since the 1930s these sorts of so-called cures have been quite rightly replaced by actual medicines anyhow the FDA actually banned the use
of this silver in over-the-counter drugs back in 1999 because the stuff carries a whole bunch of health risks which include severe organ damage and messing about with it can do some really bad stuff to the body this guy though he still continued to use the stuff even though it literally turned him blue it Beggars belief really sadly he passed away at the age of 62 after suffering a heart attack and a stroke and it was not made clear whether his bless and the self-medication was a direct cause or not well that's about all from today's
