Gaucher Disease (pronounced "Go-Shay")
is the most common genetic disease
affecting Jews of Eastern and Central
European descent. One out of every 14
carries the Gaucher gene — it is far more
prevalent than Tay-Sachs. Gaucher is not
gender or age specific.

Gaucher warning signs include:
• Fatigue
• Anemia
• Bone pain
• Easily fractured hones
• Bleeding problems and
easy bruising
• Low platelet count
• Enlarged liver or spleen

Fortunately, Gaucher can be detected
early with a simple test. And treatment
lets people with Gaucher live full,
productive lives. So don't wait another
minute wondering. Get the facts now.

testing and treatment, call toll-free:

Bloomfield, was funded by
Edward Meer in memory of his
first wife, who died three years
ago.
And Meer and his wife, Gloria,
have also committed funds for a
gym at Yeshivat Akiva in
Southfield.
"The gym adds a new dimen-
sion to the Beth Jacob girls cam-
pus," said Gary Torgow, Yeshiva
Beth Yehudah president. "We are
extremely grateful to the Meer
family for their incredible gen-
erosity. If everyone was even half
that generous, think what a world
it would be." ❑
