The healthiest and fastest way to get rid of a sore throat without drugs.

Did you know that bacteria can actually be good for a sore throat???

If you have a sore throat one of the quickest and healthiest ways to get rid of the pathogenic bacteria and re-establish the right bacteria is to open a probiotic tablet dump the probiotics directly in the back of your throat and let them out number the pathogenic bacteria so you can get back to normal! It is easy to pull apart most probiotic tablets and empty the content. Enjoy and by the way if you are sufficient and healthy you probably will rarely if ever get a sore throat in the first place.

Everyone knows what antibiotics are, but few people know what probiotics are. Antibiotics are used to kill bacteria in the body. One of the biggest problems with killing those bacteria is that you cannot control which bacteria you kill so while you are killing off pathogenic bacteria (the "bad bacteria") you also kill off the healthy bacteria too. Probiotics are used to replenish these healthy bacteria in your body. Normally probiotics are taken just like a vitamin.
There are 9 bacteria that you should ingest on a daily basis to have a
healthy gut. The best way to get these bacteria today is through a probiotic supplement. Finding the right probiotic can be tricky because there are so many out there. The only one that I know of that has the right bacteria in the right order is the innate choice probiotic sufficiency. These can be purchased at www.innatechoice.com or at locally at Carlyle Chiropractic.

Few people realize, but up to 80% of your immune system is in your gut. This is why it is so important to have healthy bacteria. It is also why it may not be the greatest idea to inject a bacteria or virus directly into the blood stream and pass 80% of your body's innate defense system. But that is a topic for another post. I hope that you enjoyed and have a terrific Day!

Intro

Three important things that you should know about me before you read my blog-
1. I am married to the most beautiful girl...ever!




2. I am a chiropractor (a darn good chiropractor) and I am just finishing up my wellness certification.
3. I believe that Jesus Christ is our savior and I am currently attending North Island Church and it rocks
The fourth thing that you should know is that there is a healthy way to eat chocolate!

I recently stumbled across a book called Naked Chocolate. Two of my favorite things ;) This book breaks down what chocolate was originally before it became so processed and loaded with sugar. It turns out that in its raw form chocolate is actually good for you! A lot of so called chocolate contains less than 10% that is actually chocolate. The rest is sugar, emulsifiers, milk products, and other fillers. Just look at the label and you will see that sugar is the number one ingredient.

In short the cinnamon rolls below are organic, no added sugar, no gluten, and no dairy. They are as natural as you can get and the best part is that the whole thing tastes like the best part of the cinnamon role...The Center!
The ingredients include Raw Cacao nibs (not coco), pecans, dates, Agave nectar, and of course cinnamon. That is it and they are really easy to make! If you want more info about how you can utilize healthy chocolate you should look for the book on amazon or half.com
