Have you had him to the vet for a wellness check? That would be my first step. They can give him a Capstar tablet that will kill the adult fleas. Then you can discuss treatment with his vet. Please do not try to do this naturally, because it just will not work. Not treating can cause a host of other problems such as anemia. And since fleas are hosts to tapeworm, you are going to have to worm him one a month also. You cannot afford to have Charlie get heartworm, because of negligence. Please reconsider.
