Adrenoleukodystrophy : Lorenzo's Oil

Lorenzo's Oil, an American movie released in 1992, is based on a true story of a couple who spare no effort to search for a cure for their 5-year-old son who gradually develops eccentricities and signs of progressive motor and speech disturbances and is diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy. Despite lack of medical knowledge, Lorenzo's parents embark on a mission to study the disease on their own and eventually discover a therapeutic mixture referred to as Lorenzo's oil. Most characters in the movie retained real-life names. Even after its release in 1992, the movie has provided some subjects in many ways.
