The Charlie Foundation Celebrates 25 years!
Since 1993 The Charlie Foundation has championed awareness and advancement of Ketogenic Therapies. From supporting medical research to empowering patients who had lost hope, our goal is to elevate knowledge so that each of us can engage in a process of informed decision making.
We have recently launched our revamped website, and we want to hear from you! Our goal is to ensure the Charlie Foundation offers the best, most relevant information for your ketogenic needs, questions, and support. Please visit
www.charliefoundation.org and let us know how we are doing!

Started to help families dealing with epilipsy, "in recent years, less restrictive versions of the Ketogenic Diet have been developed making it accessible to a larger segment of the epilepsy population (estimated at over 60 million people worldwide). Today there are over 200 hospitals worldwide with Ketogenic Diet programs. In the USA, advanced-level epilepsy treatment centers are required to provide Ketogenic Diet therapy.
New applications of the Ketogenic Diet for cancer, autism, ALS, Parkinson’s Disease, type-2 diabetes, and traumatic brain injury have emerged. Scientific data regarding these new uses of diet therapy is accumulating rapidly. Variations of the Ketogenic Diet for these other disorders are being developed. Today, it is the Charlie Foundation’s expanded mission not only to champion Ketogenic Diet therapy for epilepsy, but provide up-to-date information regarding its expanded use and variations. To this end we have re-named ourselves “The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies”.
New name, great new resources.
