The Charlie Foundation, which once focused primarily on using the classic ketogenic diet to help children with intractible epilepsy has now broadened the information, tools, and research (all free) on their site to include dietary therapies for children and adults with:
-epilepsy
-traumatic brain injury
-Lou Gehrigs disease
-autism
-early-onset Alzheimers
-brain tumor/cancer
-Parkinsons
-Mitochondrial disorders

Along with the classic Ketogenic Diet (high fat, moderate protein, low carb), the foundation now provides a wealth of information and support on other dietary therapies which are more appropriate for adults, including:
-Modified Atkins Diet
-LGIT (Low Glycemic Index Treatment)
-MCT diet
 
Thanks Karen, good to know. I'll be bookmarking the link.
