Viral infections prompt the immune system to make interferon. This suppresses the mevalonic pathway that makes cholesterol and pregnenolone.
The mevalonic pathway is responsible for the production of cholesterol, coenzyme Q10 and other key hormones.
However, viral infections interfere with this pathway. Statins tend to block the same pathway and long term use may starve the body of coenzyme Q10 and pregnenolone. This may cause ME/CFS and FMS symptoms to flare up.
Comment: Therefore, I am taking at least 150mg of coenzyme Q10 and 50mg pregnenolone per day.
