This site may help you research. How old is your son and when was he diagnosed?

Hi, I’m terribly sorry about this! Your son would need bone marrow transplant or gene therapy (gene therapy is not currently on the market but I believe there is a clinical trial currently going on.) Lorenzo oil is not something that is being used to treat ALD boys at the moment.

The last link has a phone number and address of a guy in the Philippines who is researching the disease. Contacting him may give you more info for your area

Unfortunately, Lorenzo’s oil is not recommended for treatment. Does your son have symptoms?
