Yeah I agree. Doesn't sound good. If for no other reason, we don't know what the ramifications of any of that stuff are.
So SSRIs kill cancer cells? Well, I dunno about that. I've never heard of any anecdotal reports of any lymphoma or cancer patients mysteriously getting better while on their antidepressant.
This does remind me of a study I saw on Zyprexa. Wish I could find it again. It was a genetic study. In it they showed how Zyprexa turned up the volume, or turned on those that were off, on 30+ different genes. At the same time, it turned off or turned down the volume on 30+ other genes. Obviously some of the genes they turned on were the ones that turn food into fat.
But I think what it all means is this. All meds have a multitude of biological impacts at a genetic and molecular level that we don't know anything about. And that quite possibly some of those things we don't even know about are the things bringing about the healing and not the extra serotonin or whatever.
