Re: Minocin therapy Mayo Clinic Family Health book

[Guest guest]

nne and Group,

The " endorsement " of minocin in the 3rd edition of the Mayo Clinic Family

Health Book has minocin in third position, ahead of methotrexate and Arava.

That's progress! However, the quotation shown does not yet state that

minocin is more than a disease-modifying medication, which it is.

The easiest way to purchase this book in North America is from

www.amazon.com. Simply paste the ISBN number 0-06-000250-6 into the books

search field in the upper left corner of the home page. Price is $34.97

plus shipping.

Regards, Harald

Harald, Thanks so much for this info and all the rest that you give the

group!

I'm thinking about magnesium and also agree with your opinion about

barometric pressure changes causing the pain...

nne and Group,

As far as I know, minocycline (generic name for brand-name Minocin) was

elevated to an approved DMARD by the American College of Rheumatology in

their 2002 Guidelines. Please see

http://www.rheumatology.org/publications/guidelines/raguidelines02.asp?aud=mem

Make sure this URL is on one line. This is a great document to show

rheumatologists who do not support the AP.

The document is in PDF file format, which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader for

viewing. This software is easy to install and can be downloaded at no

charge from

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

To find the sections relevant to the AP, do a search on the word

" minocycline " by clicking on the bincoculars search icon.

Sincerely, Harald
