Personal Testimony: The Colon Illness Passed After a Pidyon Nefesh for Rav Berland shlit"a

After Attorney Amit Hadad discovered that if they had conducted the trial of Rav Berland shlit"a, they would have achieved great success, but due to his severe health condition and advanced age, they preferred to reach a plea bargain. They could have easily proven how great the Pidyon Nefesh of the Rav is.
In a routine phone call that Adam Bouzaglo had with an electrical appliance dealer, the conversation turned to the greatness of Rav Berland shlit"a and the merit of his Pidyon.
One of countless testimonies about the power of the Pidyon Nefesh of Rav Berland shlit"a
"What do you say about Rabbi Eliezer Berland?"
"I say: In 2008, I fell ill with a serious illness in the colon."
"Hashem should protect."
"A malignant tumor, not benign, I emphasize. We tried doctors, and finally, a friend from the Carmel market, who is very close to Rav Berland, came to me. He told me that only one person could help me - Rav Berland! At that time, I had a lot of money, money was not an issue for me at all."
"He told me to go to 6 Third Wall Street (the Rav lived at 14 Wall) in Jerusalem, do you know it?"
"Of course! That's where Rav Berland's house is."
"Great, he told me five thousand, ten thousand, five thousand dollars.., I told him I don't like these games, it's not a money issue, but it's not acceptable to me, you say five, so it's five. I don't have.., so you say the Rav told you Pidyon Nefesh? Not the Rav."
"The gabbai?"
"Yes, I told him listen, you told me five, so let it be five, I don't like these games that I come all the way here and suddenly you tell me ten, it's not respectful. It became an argument until I almost left."
"Suddenly he tells me, you know what, it's best if the Rav decides, I said no problem, as soon as I entered, Rav Berland covered me with his tallit, told me - I know exactly what's going on with you, but he told me there's nothing to worry about and everything will be fine."
"And he added and said: On Tuesday, you will have the surgery, the surgery will last two and a quarter hours. On Tuesday, the professor at eight in the evening will tell you that you can go home. Everything will be good, and you will also receive positive results from the professor after the surgery, that's what Rav Berland told me."
"And the Rav added, if you want, you can drive to me after the surgery to Jerusalem, you will be able to drive back from the hospital!"
"All this Rabbi Eliezer Berland told you face to face?"
"Of course!"
"At eight o'clock I look at the clock, I already felt good and the surgery pains were gone. I said to myself - what, did the Rav just say (that at eight the professor will tell me to go home)?"
"I hadn't finished saying in my head, the Rav said just like that, suddenly the professor comes in and tells me (the name is unclear) I'm tired of you, come on, go home, get dressed."
"With my own eyes, I went down to the car and drove home."
"Since then, my son Tomer and I have become.., it's forbidden to say this, but.., I gave there in my good times when I had a lot of money, I gave there maybe about a hundred."
"Hashem should protect you, you have experienced open miracles."
"This conversation is recorded, do you permit me to publish it publicly to strengthen the people of Israel and our community?"
"Of course, what kind of question is that?"
"Great! Hashem should protect you. You see, it was not for nothing that we met, with Hashem's help."
