Lorenzo’s Oil is a combination of a 4:1 mix of oleic acid and erucic acid, extracted from rapeseed oil and olive oil designed to normalize the accumulation of the very long chain fatty acids in the brain thereby slowing the progression of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD).

Jul 21, 2004 · Lorenzo suffered from Adrenoleucodystrophy (ALD), a genetic disease that progressively destroys the brain of young boys. Within a year children are paralysed, blind, unable to speak. It is...
The parents of Lorenzo Odone, a boy with ALD, spearheaded efforts to develop a dietary treatment to slow the progression of the disease. They developed a mixture of unsaturated fatty acids (glycerol trioleate and glyceryl trierucate in a 4:1 ratio), known as Lorenzo's oil that inhibits elongation of saturated fatty acids in the body.
Therefore, there is no scientific evidence that Lorenzo’s oil has a disease-modifying effect in AMN. For cerebral ALD, Moser and colleagues ( Moser et al. 2005 ) reported the experience of a large group of boys who had normal MRI at baseline.
