Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel joins ‘Fox & Friends’ to highlight 2025 breakthroughs, from a pineapple-derived burn cream to a newly approved heart procedure.

My new book, "The Miracles Among Us," uncovers multipronged miracles that lifted my spirits during the process of writing it and has also successfully lifted the spirits of many readers who have reached out to share their own miracles since it was published in November. That theme provides hope for 2026 — that faith and God's perpetual guiding presence can help us overcome our divisions. Here is my list of five miracles from 2025 that make me feel optimistic about the new year ahead.

Sharabi’s memoir "Hostage," is an incredible detailing of the terrible suffering, torment, deprivation and dehumanization he endured at the hands of his Hamas captors.

After his release, Sharabi became an advocate for the return of the remaining hostages and the return of the dead still held by Hamas.
