The anti-depressant Zoloft lowers the ***immune suppressive IDO1 *** (tryptophan metabolism via the KYN pathway) and increases CD 8 T cells.

This is critical information for persons with cancer or Chlamydia pneumoniae.

Zoloft suppresses an enzyme called SHMT which Cpn is dependent on. It is a methyl transferase.

Some websites suggest HBOT along with Zoloft might be a cancer treatment - though not proven yet.

Pay attention please. Bb also is very reliant on the enzyme SHMT which can be inhibited by Zoloft.

Cancer research suggests a mitochondrial inhibitor (Fisetin is one) can work in synergy with Zoloft.

Go slow with Zoloft if older (like me). Might need 25mg to start at bedtime. 50mg made me very nauseous.

A low dose of Zoloft may not give you the mental health results you're looking for.

If 50 mg makes you nauseated, I can't imagine that 100 mg would be any better.

When the dose gets high enough and it starts working, you'll be able to tell.

Zoloft is one of the antidepressants that is recommended for older folks. I guess that would be me at this point. Good to know it impacts other things as well.

My MIL went from irritable to smiling in three days. It was a gift.
