Show Notes
Jim Abrahams is a filmmaker, director and writer of some of my favorite movies like Airplane!, Naked Gun, & Hot Shots, to name a few. But his life & focus changed when his son Charlie was born.
In 1993, 11 month old Charlie Abrahams developed difficult to control epilepsy. As a last resort, while Charlie was experiencing multiple daily seizures and multiple daily medications, Jim & his wife turned to a Ketogenic Diet for help. The diet worked. Charlie became seizure and drug free within a month. He was on the diet for five years and now eats whatever he wants. He has never had another seizure.
After modern medicine failed Jim & his family, he created The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies in 1994, to provide information about diet therapies for people with epilepsy, other neurological disorders and select cancers. Charlie Abrahams, continues to be the inspiration for the foundation, working as a pre-school teacher, and proving that Epilepsy can be cured through Ketogenic Therapy.
