How can Adrenoleukodystrophy be treated?

  • Lorenzo's oil. Lorenzo's oil is a mixture of two oils (glyceryl trieucate, or GTE, and glyceryl trioleate). This mixture is supposed to regulate the fatty acid levels in the diseased person.
  • Bone marrow transplantation. Bone marrow transplantation is the most successful treatment for Adrenoleukodystrophy. Unfortunately though, it does not help with advanced forms of Adrenoleukodystrophy.
