NOORSYAIDAH, THE WIRE WOMAN: CAN SCIENCE GIVE AN ANSWER?
85
Have you ever imagine to live with rusty wires grow out from your body and hurt you for 19 years? How it feel when you cover it with your clothes, how it grow back when you took it off from your body, how much pain you have to endure and how hard life became for you..... Have you?
Her name is Noorsyaidah. She is a 42-year-old woman who worked as a kindergarten teacher At Sangata, East Borneo, Indonesia. This is her true story.
Mass Media in Indonesia called her wire woman because for 19 years she has to be suffering under trouncing of this strange illness, wires grow out of her tummy and chest. Noorsyaidah stomach and chest pierced by a rusty wire that comes out from inside her body.The wires are not only hurting her when penetrating out of the body, but also made her unable to move normally. She must always bent over and pulled her clothes off her body parts which are covered with wires, because if it is touch the wires, the wires will give her tremendous pain, because without being touch, these wires has been very painful for her.
This disease first appeared 19 years ago while Noorsyaidah still a student at the Mulawarman University of Samarinda. One day while bathing she found a wire came out through her body. The next day the other wires were emerging. The wires will grow to 10-20 cm long before then off by itself. Then from the wound where the last wire has been released, the new wire will grow back.This wire condition is also very strange because tainted by rust.
At first it took one week prior to a wire which grow to eventually separated from her body, but by the time, it took more time for one wire to be able to off by itself. Until now, there are wires that still are in its place for seven months. This causes the suffering and the pain grew longer.
During these 19 years, Noorsyahidah continue to seek answers to the causes and how to cure the disease, but no one could gave a definite answer. Her desire to receive care should be blocked by her financial problem. But then, in 2007, stories about her began appearing in the mass media in Indonesia and attracted many people. Luck was on her side at that time and Noorsyaidah have the opportunity to undergo treatment free of charge by a hospital in Samarinda. Unfortunately this one luck was not followed by a further luck.
A Wahab Sjahranie Samarinda Hospital forming a team of seven doctors and specialists in their respective fields to examine the health condition Noorsyaidah. Norsyaidah undergo a series of tests, such as blood tests, rongent, CT. Scan and others. They examined her tissue and also the wire.
Based on MRI results it had been found that the wires growth from beneath the skin surface so it is not interfere with the organ in the body. But the cause of rusty wire growth is unknown. Visible through MRI it found numbers of new wire is ready to grow through the skin.
"Medically, I have never found nor read of such a disease," said the doctor Ajie Syirafudin, The General Director of Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Hospital. “The human body does not produce iron wire, or even sticking out it of the body. “
Noor's condition, according Ajie Syirafudin, classified in what is called a corpus alienum.
"It is condition where a strange things which should not be there enters the body," said Ajie Syrafudin. Alienum corpus cases commonly reported in medical world, such as; surgical scissors left in the stomach, swallowed the ring in the esophagus, or marbles that accidentally enters the digestive tract. But there has been no case like Noor, who like to grow things. In addition, there has been no similar cases handled by physicians.
All Noor's bodily functions ascertained normal. There is no symptoms of infection found around the growing wires. Whereas normally the body will reject any foreign object inside.
"Wire is not the bone or any type. It's an iron wire," said Ajie Syirafudin.
Currently, the team doctor has claimed that they were not able to explain and help Noorsyaidah to overcome her illness. Noorsyaidah threatened to live in this condition until the day she passed away.
The reason I wrote this Hub because I hope there is someone, a physician, scientist or those who have understanding in this subject somehow read this Hub and able to give Noorsyaidah way to fix her health problem. Her condition should be something interesting for science to be studied. Maybe through this hub somehow, Noorsyaidah can get help she need. Hopefully.
Please, I really hope this useful

THE NEWS FROM SCTV LIPUTAN 6 TV NEWS FROM 2 YEARS AGO
Update on this Hub (Jun, 23, 2010):
After didn't get any good result from her medical exam in A. Wahab Sjahranie Hospital in Samarinda, East Borneo, Norsyaidah got another chance to had another exam from bigger Hospital in Surabaya, East Java. Dr. Soetomo Hospital is one of several famous hospital in Indonesia. But again, this exam didn't gave different result with the last result Noorsyaidah got from her earlier exam.
Internist HR Prof. Dr. Moh Yogiantoro dr Sp PD-KGH strongly suspect that the condition as something beyond the reach of medical diagnosis. "It's just weird. Clearly, there are certain conditions that can be referred to as non-medical disease and it requires different treatment from the experts."
After publishing this Hub, later I found the news that Noorsyaidah getting better these days. The number of wires inside her body decrease a lot, even it still there right until now. Too bad the medication she get not coming from science field, but through a help from one muslim teacher from Indonesia. It is a loss for science if it can't have a chance to record and doing research on this disease because it might open the door to another unexplained health problem around the world. I really hope western scientist want to take this chance to widening their knowledge, but somehow that still not happened yet.
Indeed suspicion arised around this case. Many people think this is a fake, and judge from the comments I got bellow this Hub, many readers didn't believe me either. But I can guarantee you I will never published this Hub if it is a lie. This is really happen and still happening until today.
I tried to find the news about this case from reliable source in English but there is none. All I can got only several link from Indonesian newspapers which I still added bellow so the readers can read it through translator. I hope it can give wider perspective in the area where I didnt want to touch inside my Hub.
I hope it useful.

Wow the wonders of our world, bizarre, yet very sad. I to hope some doctor can come to her assistance and help remove this disease from her body so she can be healed and live a happier life.
this looks like extremely tough wiry hair growth. if it were real wire (metal) the MIR would have been very dangerous and damaging to her. extremely tough wiry hair growth of this manner is rare but it happens. common sense explains this. ~aloha~
I heard about this woman many times. And this is strange phenomenon which happen in human body. The first time I saw this on my television. It looks unbelievable. I think most of us said like that. Why I said so, because there's no medical expert could explain about what kind of disease which happen in Noorsyaidah body. I hope this illness can be cured soon and I wish the best for her.....amen
Warm regards and Blessing,
Prasetio
Good heavens - when we think we have troubles, I think we should go back to this picture and rethink that theory! It would be a miracle to find out what causes it.
the other day i heard on the news that she have 4 more wires left...two on the backbones..and the pain is almost gone.
she's in a much better condition now and continuing her spiritual treatment with current famous ustadzah(guru) Mamah dedeh..
wish her all the best..and may god forgive whoever harm her.amiin
This is a very strange thing happen to an ordinary person like Nursyaidah,I hope a few medical experts can find a solution to the 'wire' problem as long it is not a black magic .If she suffered a black magic ,my suggestion is she should refer to a traditional practioner.
Hope she finds cure for her continuos pain!
What? Are you serious? The humon body cannot produce metal wires. this is fake. Theres is not possible way that this has happened. This woman would not be able to endure any sort of MRI, X-ray, nothing. Either this woman has a sickness to where she is sticking these wires in her skin herself, or this is made up. This is something that is so unbeliveable, you would probably see it on a tabloid next to "Female ape gives birth to human child." Im sorry, i cannot believe this. It is more likely to have stray bones growing out of your skin, or like the one commentor stated, more like a wirey hair.
I came back to see if you responded. So the wires are rusty? There is no possible way that metal had no effect on these types of machines. How do you know that this is the truth? Have you met her? Have you seen her in person? i am not usually this agressive on someone elses hub, but there is no way that this is true. I wont say anything else on the matter as you firmly believe this woman is telling the truth, and i do not. We will not agree on this.
So strange and a new disease.In reality there are so many diseases that have just supportive treatment and no curative therapy yet available.
I just comment for pink umbrella question.. what freya said is true, i already see and find news about that on Tv and other media and with evidence from reputable hospital with the X-ray, about that metal..it is the real metal..with all phisical and chemical character of metal. That women who get that sickness of wire.. at that time.. but with so long like that condition I understand if it influence more badly to her now. May she get cure by miracle and get help.
Oh my, I hope she can live in peace soon. That must be rough!
This case is a hoax. No medical report and it's only published on a couple of blogs. There's no scientific support for these nonsense. If you know the doctor who treated her, as you said your family does, post the name here. This is laughable ! Nobody can grow wires in their bodies ! I can't belief intelligent people can really belief this joke !. There's nothing about it in Internet. I've seen this kind of hoax before.
what is this?...well it is strange...really strange...
It looks to me like a woman who pokes wires into herself, which is an illness--but a psychological one.
I really hope that she will find the help she needs. I know how difficult it can be to be undiagnosed.
That is very strange and at first I thought it could be a hoax or that she was self mutilating. We can't grow iron but perhaps if the iron was inside of her from some kind of past surgery or abuse,maybe it is forcing itself out of her body now.
Strange, very strange. It's really very hard to belive. I hope she will get some help.
Just when you think the world can't possibly get any stranger. :)
That is extremely frightening. I can't even imagine living with such a bizarre condition. I wish the best for her. Thanks for writing this Hub and the update.
How bizzare. I was wondering if it was a hoax, but I guess strange things can happen. Notice she doesn't have any on her face. Like a girl that had blood oozing out of her pores - I don't think it was a hoax, but medical science couldn't explain it
Tattoos are a symbol of fashion now,people chose tattooing mainly in the following seven conditions :
1.Superstitious tattoo: it is said that on an animal's image or special pattern could ward off evil, or enhanced physical fitness.
2.Religious symbol((tribal tattoos):Many tribal nation has a tattoo of customs, the most common is the religion of the Totem, the main purpose to be recognize.
3.Memorial tattoo: Is the modern age is most popular, what is common is engraves the sweetheart or benefactor's name on own body .
4.Beauty's Tattoo:The scar tattoo cover-type, in the scar tattoo.
5.Self-awareness hero tattoo :To express a strong hero or as a strong symbol of attention, tattoos are seen as brave act.
6.The tattoo of Determined efforts to encourage :Body engraved with encouraging words or patterns mean up to remind myself at any time.
How bizzare. I was wondering if it was a hoax, but I guess strange things can happen.

I will say mutation or evolution.A new breed of Xmen
there should be an explanation. i think the wire-woman should seek advice from Islamic healer. most of the time if the science could not explain something then religion has an answer for it..
I couldn't believe this. Anyways, this will be a challenge to people who are medically expert and whoever can have a cure for this I'm sure he will be noted.
This is extremely upsetting to see a healthy woman's life been ruint by something so extreme, keep up spreading the word she needs all the help she can get I know I will definatly be spreading your good work.
Wow. I'd be willing to bet that if the existing wires were removed and she was placed under 24/7 observation afterwards, they would magically stop growing. That's just my own cynical opinion though, I think this is more than just a physical problem.
Still pretty far out though, thanks for bringing this to us in English.
P.S. Anyone else think this would make an awesome episode of House?
And as the previous commenters mentioned, if it were actual iron, the magnets in an MRI would've ripped them all out.
these things must be like ingrown hairs with a hard metalike exterior like an ingrown porqupine quill that grows from a mutagenic hair folicle... its gotta be...
Perhaps this is a variety of Morgellons disease. Although this is the first time I have heard of the fibers being metallic in nature, certainly there are numerous cases of individuals the world over that have similar problems with spontaneous generation of fibers from beneath the skin. Perhaps a specialist in Morgellons might be able to shed light on this woman's condition.
Metal is inanimate, it is made of atoms. Copper, Silver, Gold are all metals. If metal could grow, would not metallurgical engineers "grow precious metals" such a Gold and Silver?
I have seen all sorts of strange and unexplainable diseases, but this beats them all. Is this real? I'm having a hard time believing it. How does human flesh and blood produce wire with rust of all things? This sounds like an introduction to some futuristic science fiction experiment gone wrong.Is it possible for humans to become part machine,part living tissue?If it is, then she may be the first ground breaking example. Go figure!!
salams freya. i am sure it clicked your mind to just turn to Allah for help. ask her to recite surah fatiha. in it is a cure for ALL diseases.
nice sharing
I too believe this is a hoax , self mutilation? Maybe . A cry for help from her mind? It can't be real , Why hasen't the media and the medical world picked this up?Strange world we live in.
I know there is a whole world of paranormal stuff out there , UFO"s, spiri worlds etc. but his one is too wierd , I try to keep my mind open but not to everything! People do call my brother sasquach because he is six feet seven inches tall , has a beard and he's very quiet in the woods.!!!!!
Salam Aleikum Sister.
i was just passing by to search for some thing else but some how i sow your tittle that attracted me, i read about this wire Woman, it is sad story, poor lady she is suffering badly.
You know Sister there are many cases similar to her case that science couldn't help them Nor understand or have even a clue of what is happening to them... This is tells you that nothing equals to the power of God.
Sister her case can't be solved by Doctors and medicines we both know that right?
What i found a weird is that mashallah Malaysia is Muslim Country, and MUslims they do believe in the Qur'an and its Miracles.
Qur'an been sent as a cure to all Problems .
As Allah stated by saying: we have sent the Qur'an As a shifa (healer) to all believers .
>so her case is in the Gods hand not the Doctors. all she need is RUKIA sessions for three weeks, and her case will be solved By God's will.
as you know there are many ignorant people who claim they are Muslims But they are far away from Islam..they do a lot of shirk, like believing in Sihr ,believing in JINN, as they go to fortune tellers ,to tell them about their future, or help them get married or get rich or or or or ...some people even worship (satan) shayateen in their houses, by using black majic (SIHR),
But they forgot that they could be playing with fire,because they are dealing with JINN World and they thing is safe, but look what happen to the lady.
any way is a lot to explain about this case but the time is not siutabe ,lets just see in brief.....
now her case Must be one of the Following
1- could be some one has done sihr to her??
2- could be she was dealing with JINN her self?
3- could be she was working for JINN and decided to stop or have gone against their commandment ???
4- or Stpeped on SIhr that was not meant to be for her?
in All cases The JIN are revenging on her for some thing God Knows What?
Before we can Suggest to her what to do.
I would like to Know about her how she doing ?
Is she better now??
Does she still needs Help?
i will wait for your reply
Best regards
Hi... I am not from your country...Yet feel really bad about what has been read above. As it is a disease not explained by human wisdom,Noor needs help from heaven. Noor, It is not recommended to wait..... Search in the history to find a person who can cure this. Who had cured such illnesses. There is one man who saved human kind from all their pains. Who gave life to those who dead. Lazarus was dead, but he has given life back. He cured all those who asked for help and healing. Mankind killed him, but even death could not keep him under his as he is the Almighty. Trust Jesus. He is the Almighty. He still lives....lives for us...Noor...only Jesus can save U....He has taken all your pain on his body during Crucifixion. To be saved you need to do only one thing...Just understand that U r not a slave...slave of the bad powers. U r freed...freed by Jesus Christ. He is Ur saviour. Trust him and ask for cure...He will surely get that for U...All our prayers are with U....check the link given below...copy it paste on ur browser and browse it...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1340497/I-
In the You tube video, U will see a woman walked after 23 years...Just browse U can see lot of real miracles like that....If you really want healing, there is only one way out.....Submit urself to Jesus and see the miracle happening on your body...He is the only saviour. With him, you can have a happy life even after the death of your worldly body....TRust him...he is ur salvation.....With love in Christ...Jisha
Hamdolillah after all
o no...undeliverable..so sad.
Ok it can't be rusty metal wire, otherwise the mri would have gone all jiffy pop on her. It's probably keratin of some sort in which case it's not that unusual.
Wow! This is very interesting! I hope that she can receive the help that she needs! I will Tweet and post this Hub to Facebook!
Great Hub!
JSMatthew
What a bizarre world we are living in! nothing to say about that.
interesting! i hope she will get better~
I'm calling this article BS. If they had really put her in an MRI machine, the wires would get pulled out from the extremely powerful magnetic field. She should be seeing a psychiatrist to find out why she is sticking pieces of wire in her stomach.
Amazing! She must have some Wolverine Power! :) just kidding. Seriously I don't think that this is a hoax. The world is full of wonders. There are things that science can't explain. Because of modernization, it's been too difficult for us to believe in things like this. In our country, old folks often called this "barang" or black magic. But it doesn't mean I'm buying that idea though in my own experience, this kind of unexplainable thing happens to my family once. This happens to my grandma in the late 60's. A lot of unusual things came out from her body like insects for example. Same thing there is no any medical explanation. Fortunately she got cured by a spiritual healer. Still today it's kinda hard for me to believe it because I haven't seen the actual situation. I'm not saying that Noorsyaidah's case is associated with black magic or something but who knows. In some remote areas that modernization can't reach, many people still believe in these stuffs. This is very interesting and intriguing as well. I'm hoping that science will take this as a challenge and provide a better explanation to enlighten our minds. And Freya, how is she doing now? I'm hoping for her recovery.
cant believe it.. bizzare... but who knows????? lots of unexplainable things happening today.. ..
I have read this blog and I see Freya responds to every post calling this a hoax. Hey Freya, I work in the medical field and what you are saying does not add up. You say she was "strangely" not effected by the MRI. Thats impossible. Any metal at all (especially iron and rust) would be yanked out of her with incredible force. Its a scientific fact, an MRI machine is a giant powerful magnet. I once saw a man die because a nurse forgot to remove a metal canister. When they turned on the machinge, this canister that weighed around 30 pounds, ripped through the poor man slamming itself against the magnetic field of the machine. Plus, metal cannot grow. This woman is either suffering from self mutalation, or jamming wires inside her for attention. Dont be naive, the woman refuses to see any western Drs or have an operation to remove them. I wonder why?
Hi I'm from Singapore. Came to this hub through google after hearing about this from some television documentary about Indonesia where a celebrity went to Indonesia to visit her. Apparently (although I am committing a logical fallacy here), it is likely to be true for the case was shown on National tv. I am a very scientific person and I don't really believe in the existence of the supernatural/ religion thus I can understand why people would believe this to be untrue.
Anyway, if keratin were possible, then she could have ingested on a continuous basis, perhaps by accident, some building block of metals (ions perhaps?) that could have precipitated from her skin if concentrations were high enough. Just an attempt to explain, our current state of technology is still rather primitive and I still find that our knowledge is still a far cry from the grand picture. Philosophically, nothing could ever be truly defined nor definite. To give an exaggerated explanation, this reality could be a video game and that lady is simply a computer virus (no offense I hope, just an example), so there you have it, 2 possible explanations, although is second explanation would be a rather "cheap" way of expressing my view.
Lastly, in the case of MRI, please do note that not all metals are metallic thus the metals in her body would be unaffected. I believe that no doctor would make such a fatal flaw. Either this, or there would be some change to the MRI process. There are many explanations for everything, thus I hope that before we pass judgement, we think of every possibility first ( although I got depression from thinking too much haha, on a side note).
Things may sound logical and one may treasure his personal view, but we should also remember that logical in itself is flawed, one wrong step along our critical pathway, and what we hold as right would be wrong. In conclusion, please do not be too quick to criticize this hub.
