Remedia Victim Released from Hospital
by Yated Ne'eman Staff and Itim

The three-month-old infant admitted to Schneider Children's Hospital one month ago due to her Remedia diet was released four days after having a pacemaker implanted into her heart. Her father, Hillel Breuer, said, "We feel like a new daughter was born to us."

Four other Remedia victims remain hospitalized. The baby at Assaf HaRofei in Tzrifin has improved dramatically and is now slated for discharge. Another infant hospitalized at Schneider is still in serious condition. Two other infants were transferred from Schneider to Sheba Hospital in Ramat Gan for rehabilitation. They both suffer from extensive neurological damage, but are in stable condition.

The infant who received the heart implant was the only one among the Remedia victims who needed a pacemaker, but three days after the operation she recovered dramatically said Dr. Rami Fogelman, director of the Unit for Heartbeat Irregularities at Schneider Hospital's Cardiac Institute.

According to Dr. Fogelman the infant developed a unique disturbance that obstructed the transfer of electricity in the heart between the atrium and the ventricles. The pacemaker should allow her to function normally, growing and developing like any other child.

Dr. Fogelman said when the patient arrived one month ago she suffered from a lowered state of consciousness and neurological damage, but the Vitamin B-1 supplements helped remedy all of the impairments diagnosed except for the heart irregularity.
