No he was never cured but with Lorenzos oil the disease stopped but his mind was severly damaged and he died a day after his 31st birthday
Lorenzo Odone was a boy with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) whose story was depicted in the movie "Lorenzo's Oil". His parents pioneered a treatment that helped slow the progression of the disease.
The most common type of ALD (adrenoleukodystrophy) is X-linked ALD. Than means that the gene for ALD is on the X chromosome. Because boys have only one X chromosome, if it has the ALD gene on it they will have the disease. Girls have two X chromosomes, so, in order to get ALD both of their X chromosomes would have to have an ALD gene. That would mean that both her father and her mother would have to have an ALD gene. Because males with ALD die before they can have children this would not happen. So girls don't get this type of ALD. There are other, more rare types of ALD that affect both boys and girls. So, all in all, fewer girls have ALD
Heroin addiction is a chronic condition that can be managed successfully with treatment, but it is not always "cured" in the traditional sense. Many individuals can achieve long-term recovery with a combination of medications, therapy, and support. It is important for individuals struggling with heroin addiction to seek professional help and engage in a comprehensive treatment program.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and adrenal glands. It is characterized by the buildup of fatty acids in the body due to a defect in a specific enzyme that breaks them down. ALD can lead to damage to the myelin sheath, which is the protective covering of nerve cells, resulting in progressive neurological problems.
There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease.
ALD
To have scientists collaborate to help find a therapy for ALD
Lorenzo's oil is a medicine for ald
Well, ALD is a very rare disease which is VERY dangerous. There is a movie on it called "Lorenzo's Oil". There are treatments but no cure.
Lorenzo inherited adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) from his mother through an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern. This means that the gene mutation responsible for ALD is located on the X chromosome. Since females have two X chromosomes, a mother carrying one mutated copy can pass it to her son, who has only one X chromosome inherited from her. As a result, if that X chromosome carries the mutation, her son, like Lorenzo, can develop ALD.
Cecilia Alegria Policarpio is the name of the girl who was cured by Saint Lorenzo Ruiz. She had brain atrophy.
bc they tried using just olive oil and it didnt work so they researched other types of oils and mixed them together and it help treat lorenzo's ALD...i think
Lorenzo's Oil is based on the true story of Lorenzo Odone. He was diagnosed with ALD, Adrenoleukodystrophy when he was 7. Genetic testing was done. The miraculous oil does not work on patients who are already ill.
Lorenzo oil was special because it was the only thing that helped to slow down ALD. The oil was founded by a couple frustrated about their son's condition and no one being able to help them.
Hi the real Lorenzo died 30th may 2008 one day after his 30th birthday. =================== I am pretty sure Lorenzo s illness is ALD. adrenoleukodystrophy. Has it been renamed? Pardon my typing please, my apostrphe key is not working.
Augusto Odone developed a treatment for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) after his son, Lorenzo, was diagnosed with the disease. Lacking a medical background, he researched extensively and collaborated with scientists to understand the biochemical basis of ALD. Odone identified the potential benefits of using a specific combination of fatty acids, particularly oleic acid, to manage the condition. His efforts culminated in the creation of "Lorenzo’s Oil," which aimed to normalize the levels of harmful fatty acids in the body and slow the progression of the disease.
