[SIGN HERE] [Reposted upon request] TLS was asked to publish the following White House petition in hopes of saving a young boy’s life: 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. 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. We 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.
We are asking the FDA to grant this exemption so we can continue to fight for his life.
You can sign the petition here.
name for tehilim??
Refael Elisha Meir Ben Devorah
Done! Everyone please take the time to sign the petition. If you have to create an account, take five minutes to try to save a life. Today is an especially strong day to help. Refuah Shelayma and Hatzlacha Rabba to all in need!!!
I know the Cohen family, Yaakov and Devorah, for years. Refua Shlayma!
It’s so painful to have to see a family grasping at straws to save a child. It’s sad that people are trying to make unscrupulous profit off such families.

Just signed…
Having said that, I want to clear something up. Reaching 100,000 signatures does not mean the boy will get the medicine. It simply means the white house will issue a response to the petition. Of course, we should all sign it, but from the headlines it seems like if we hit 100k, the FDA will give him the drugs and that is not the case at all.
Signed and shared.
But what we really need is to abolish the FDA, switch to a market-based system of competing quality assurance / safety certification authorities, and thus avoid having to (moderated) every time a patient / parents / doctors believe that the risks are justified.
Weather is approved or not is hashems business we just need to do whatever we can and maybe the zchus of caring for another human being will help
Although its great to have this petition to try and get this boy the help he needs, it will probably be for naught. If you get the required amount of signatures, the white house will issue a response like this. Thank you for taking the time to create this petition. We cannot respond to this issue because the FDA is operated separately. Thank you your interest. Contact the Food and drug administration directly. Do not go through the White House. You are going to get a no response, response.

As of right now there are only 900 signatures left.
650 to go
I did this. I hope it works. Sadly, even if he gets approved, the whole procedure is very sketchy if it’ll even help him. He needs our tefillos more than anything.
347
300 to go. Possible and likely to complete today.
Refuah Shleimah!
Not kidding, just refreshed the page for the petition, and signatures needed went from 210 to 236, then minute later back to 210. Wonder if Obama is playing with these numbers or just another glitch in one of his websites!
It’s over 100k already
No need to stop signing. Keep it going.
Great News The Petition For Refael Elisha Cohen Has Well Over 100,000 Signatures!!!!!!
If these 100,000 people would also say Tehilim for Elisha Refael ben Devora it may help more than this experimental treatment.
