(NaturalNews) According the Associated Press, patients, particularly arthritis patients, are "fretting" over reduced access to acetaminophen, a drug that's known to cause liver damage. One patient claims the lack of access to this known poison might encourage those in pain to turn to street drugs for relief. While no one wants to be in pain, the real shame is that it's not common knowledge that arthritis is often simply a build up of toxic matter in the joints - toxic matter that can be removed by deeply cleansing the body internally. The inflammation of the surrounding tissues occurs as a result of the proximity to these acidic toxins hidden in the joints.

The root cause of arthritis is something you might want to know because one in five adults have been diagnosed with arthritis, and three out of five of those are under 65. These days one in 250 children have also developed what used to be an older person's disease.

The reasons for this penetration into younger individuals are obvious when you understand how toxicity accumulates in the body, and when you understand just how toxic common diets and lifestyles have become. Combined with the fact that relatively few people make a concerted effort to remove the effects of "normal" diets and lifestyles, we're seeing exactly what you'd expect to see.

Modern medicine says rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that damages the joints of the body. They say that damage is "caused by the inflammation" of the tissue lining the joint. They acknowledge that inflammation is "normally a response by the body's immune system to assaults" including infections and foreign objects. But they neglect to look at what, exactly, is assaulting the body to cause this inflammatory response.

Holistic practitioners have known for some time that accumulated toxicity in the body, that the body has attempted to hide in the joints, is responsible for the inflammation and ultimately the pain.

Although much of the population, through arthritis and other chronic diseases, experiences ongoing pain, pain is not a normal state for the body. Pain is an indication of a problem, not the problem. The problem is often acidic accumulation in the area, and the pain is just your body alerting you to this.

In light of this, the obvious answer is to remove that acidic and toxic waste - not merely to dull the pain. But unfortunately, modern medicine teaches otherwise, and many listen.

Think of it like this: Someone is shouting, "Your kitchen is on fire."

Do you put out the fire? Or, do you quiet that person so your ears aren't bothered, while letting your house burn down?

Too many people with arthritis and other chronic pain are letting their houses burn down. Unfortunately, the toxicity that today is seen as arthritis, or as chronic pain with another name, will likely become the underlying cause of additional problems as time goes on and the accumulation continues.

The sad irony is that arthritic patients are complaining they might have reduced access to a drug known to damage the liver. The irony comes into play when you realize that your liver is your prime detoxification organ, and therefore the organ a person with arthritis or chronic pain needs on their side the most - to detoxify the body and remove the acids causing the inflammation. Because when the body has been thoroughly detoxified, it's more than likely that the root cause will have been removed and the pain will no longer exist. But that doesn't come in an easy to swallow pill.
