Yes, I saw it. One interesting tidbit is that the little boy in the
hospital playroom (the one with the blond hair) is the son of Jim Abrahams,
who is, I believe, a Hollywood producer. He had horrible seizures with no
results from medications (except bad side effects) until trying the
ketogenic diet. His parents started the Charlie Foundation that was
mentioned at the end of the movie and they are dedicated to getting the
word out about the diet. They have also produced an informational video
about Charlie and the diet, hosted by Meryl Streep, which they will send
for free. (Hope this is considered informational rather than an
advertisement).
