So I looked up on new anti viral therapies. Does anyone have any experience with CFS and statins or alpha interferon?

Statins useful against cmv infection

WNVirus shut down by statins
10When different statins were tested,and simvastatin [Zocor] exhibit the strongest in vitro anti-hepatitis C activity, lovastatin[mevacor] and fluvastatin [Lescol] had moderate inhibitory effects, and pravastatin{pravachol] had NO antiviral effect (So the type and dose of statin are likely effective) (Delang L, Paeshuyse J, Vliegen I, Leyssen P, Obeid S, Durantel D, Zoulim F, Op de Beeck A, Neyts J. Statins potentiate the in vitro anti-hepatitis C virus activity of selective hepatitis C virus inhibitors and delay or prevent resistance development. Hepatology. 2009 Jul;50(1):6-16. In this study, A combination of statins with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) further increased activity. The authors' Conclusion: A combination of specific HCV inhibitors with statins may result in a more profound antiviral effect and may delay or prevent the development of resistance to such inhibitors.

Alpha/Gamma interferon very effective against chronic entervirus infection. Article states entero virus could result in chronic inflammatory state, like cfs.
