[filelink] Does minocycline have side effects or cause lupus?
The reports that Minocycline can induce lupus are laughable. Exactly how does a complex immune disease arise from the actions of a bacteriostatic antibiotic? Such a suggestion is ridiculous. The same goes for the suggestion that minocycline induces autoimmune hepatitis. Show us the beef, please - the molecular mechanisms.
Remember that it was not too long ago that the majority of physicians agreed with the statement below. That consensus didn't make it any more correct...
In order to comprehend the discoveries springing from the cracking of the genome, today's physicians need to have a good understanding of modern science. It is tough for us to expect this, as many have not been even taught the basics of molecular biology. The alternative is for them to listen to those who are accepted as well grounded in science. Many physicians find that just as hard to swallow, as the profession trains them to present medicine, and its practitioners, to the public as infallible.

Once you understand the immunopathology resulting from killing these Th1 pathogens, all these so-called side-effects are shown up for what they are - Immunopathology - and they disappear as you get rid of he pathogens.
