Lorenzo Odone had Adrenoleukodystrophy, which is a disorder of peroxisomal fatty acid beta oxication, which results in the accumulation of very-long chain fatty acids in tissues throughout the body.

Sadly, Lorenzo died on May 30, 2008 at age 30, after suffering aspiration pneumonia, caused by food getting stuck in his lungs.

Lorenzo's Oil is olive oil mixed with rapeseed oil, and is only available by prescriiption through authorized physicans at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, MD.
