No News....Is Good News

I am happy to write here, that there hasn't been any incidents to report recently. This may be due to less people reporting, or it can be a sign that the rate of incidents occurring is falling. I think it is the latter.

I don't think that this blog is directly responsible for slowing down the rate of occurrences though it is probably responsible for a small downturn. What's also important is that this site is playing a big role in bringing awareness of these issues to the community.

I pray that a site of this kind will one day be completely irrelevant and unnecessary. 

The Miracle Recovery of R' Rephael Shmulevitz

I don't usually post non-Ramat Eshkol articles, but this story definitely deserves attention. 

The Rosh Yeshiva of Mir, Rav Rephael Shmulevitz has been cured from one of the rarest, incurable, fatal diseases in the world. The disease is ALS, also known as Lou Gherigs disease, which until now had no cure to even just halt its progress. This past month though, not only has the Rosh Yeshiva's disease stopped progressing, he actually is starting to return to regular health. Amazingly, he is the first person in the world to be cured from ALS. He isn't at 100% yet, but the turnaround so far is nothing short of miraculous.
