Dad to Dad 67 - Jim Abrahams of Santa Monica, CA, Father of 3, A Movie Producer & Co-Founder Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies

He’s written and directed some of the funniest movies to come out of Hollywood:Airplane and Naked Gun among them. He’s Jim Abrahams, and he’s our guest on this Dad to Dad Podcast. Jim and his former wife, Nancy are the proud parents of three children, Joseph (35), Jamie (33) and Charlie (27) who suffered from severe epileptic seizures for years. The medications prescribed and surgery performed by Charlie’s doctors weren’t effective, so Jim did his own research and found that a special high-fat diet might help. With the help of a dietician Charlie adopted the diet and miraculously, the seizures stopped. Hear the story of a dad taking matters into his own hands and making a life-saving difference for his son. That’s all on this SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.Email - [email protected] Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies - https://charliefoundation.org/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYdGA_RvciUpOb4gNaohRSQ Special Fathers Network - SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
