Where can I access independent long time research results on the use of Fosamax by post-menopausal women for the treatment of osteoporosis? I am particularly interested in comparative results between those users engaged in weight bearing exercise such as regular serious walking and weight training, and those with average lifestyles. I would also like to know for how long the longest users of Fosamax have been using the drug and the trends in their bone density over that time.
Thank you.

A two-second search of Google Scholar (Beta) returned this result — at the top — looks to be dead-on:
Effect of alendronate and exercise on bone and physical performance of postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trial; it appears in the Elsevier Health-published (!) Official Journal of the International Bone and Mineral Society (2002).
That will be $1,000. Please see my man, at the door. [Just kidding -- I'll email it to you as well.]
