Group, there is an article on " Minocycline--promising treatment for

osteoporosis at the following link.

http://www.nih.gov/nia/new/press/minocycl.htm

This article was dated Dec 9, 1996 so if it is no longer there and you would

like to see it, I can type it up and send to anyone interested. It is only about

one to one and a half pages in length. Carol/Piney

This is exciting news for those of us who are dealing with osteopenia and

osteoporosis as well as RA!
