On another note, please consider helping out with this rare and important mitzvah:

 

The Cohen family of Houston, TX, is facing a battle none of us should have to go through - aggressive brain cancer in their 6-year old son Refael Elisha (Refael Elisha Meir ben Devorah).  Having recently received the devastating news from their doctors that "there is nothing more we can do for him," the Cohens are turning to a last resort - Antineoplaston Therapy at the Burzyinski Clinic.  However, the FDA pulled their approval for this treatment in 2012 pending further clinical trials.  They are told that the FDA is nearing approval to resume this treatment, but Refael Elisha does not have time to wait.

The FDA has the power to approve a "compassionate use exemption" so Refael Elisha can undergo this therapy to try and save his life.  They are asking the FDA to grant this exemption so they can continue to fight for his life.

100,000 signatures are needed in order for the White House to consider this.  Sign the petition here: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/authorize-fda-grant-compassionate-use-exemption-refael-elisha-cohen-antineoplaston-therapy/BVSP1ZkW

As of this evening, they already have 64,373 signatures ... which means they only need 35,627 more to reach their goal ... but they only have until January 2, 2014 to  file
