The instant pot is pretty much self-explanatory, it literally cooks anything almost instantly.  When i first stepped foot into the natural health world, i was trying to replace my cooking tools with healthier options.  I replaced my teflon cookware with ceramic and glass cookware.  Stainless steel and cast iron are wonderful healthy choices too.  I knew the instant pot was a great choice, because it keeps so much nutrition in the actual food instead of cooking it out.

I’ve got to admit though, i was scared of it. It sat in our kitchen for about 7 months.   I opened up the box and saw all these buttons and settings that I had NO CLUE what anything meant.  I ended up asking my husband to tell me how the thing would work and to explain it to me.  He did, and it wasn’t very scary anymore! When I bought my instant pot i received a manual with it.  It tells you the cook times and even has recipes.  The inside is stainless steel which is amazing.  No chemicals for this house.  I was super excited to start using this, because i was so tired of standing over the oven cooking multiple foods.

The very first thing I cooked was chicken thighs.  I put FROZEN chicken thighs in there and they were done in 11 minutes.  I’m talking fall of the bone, ready to shred consistency.  My husband and I were so excited and our mouths were literally wide open.   I’ve been in love with the instant pot since.  Here are a few things I cook regularly:

-Baby food. I cook veggies, and then combine in blender, and pour into a stainless steel ice cube tray and freeze.  Saves SO much money, and only you know exactly what is going into your baby.  Plus it’s just less processed which is golden.

-Chicken thighs

-Pinto beans (i like to soak overnight and then cook them for 40 minutes)

-Rice (cooks rice perfectly)

-Curry

-potatoes (regular and sweet)

I only recommend products that I actually use.  If you are interested in purchasing an instant pot, I am an Amazon affiliate and will provide a link below.  Every purchase helps with my natural treatment plan, which I will be writing about soon.  If I receive any commission at all from Amazon, I will donate 10 percent to one of my favorite non-profit organizations, and will gladly show a receipt.

The one on the right didn’t want the one on the left to be in his shot.

For those of us who can’t afford luxury 10,000 infrared saunas, here’s an option for you. Go to your local farm store (for us it was Atwoods) . Buy a chicken lamp (7 bucks) and a RED light (3 bucks). Don’t be afraid to ask for help either! You can make your own infrared sauna. The benefits are amazing. Here’s what I did, how I felt, and what happened. I never would have known about this if it wasn’t for my friend, Danni.

Day 1– I spot treated my problem areas (thyroid, kidneys, liver, stomach, joints, back of neck and bottom of feet just because.) I took my blood pressure before use and afterwards. Not only did it lower my blood pressure by 23 points, it put me in a better mood, and I just felt better overall. It had been a while since I’ve had the privilege of being under one, so about 30 minutes after my first use I took about a 2 hour nap. (made me sleepy.)

Day 2– I had right kidney pain almost the entire day. This is normal for me sometimes because I have polycystic kidney disease (PKD). I really didn’t think anything of it. I remember crying, and my husband coming into our bedroom to give me hug. I just wanted healing from this disease. I didn’t know that I’d be passing my stone on day 4.

Day 3– I had kidney pain here and there, didn’t think anything out of the ordinary. I continued my sauna use and felt great. I never felt extremely tired again like I did on day 1.

Day 4– I woke up at 4:30 am and was in excruciating pain. I could not sit or lay down, all I could do was stand up and walk around. I remember feeling hot, and then feeling chills. I was nauseous and almost threw up. The kidney stone that had been in my right kidney for about 4 years was passing. And boy was it painful! It was only about the size of a pinpoint. I cannot imagine the pain that people go through if they have stones bigger than that. My goodness.

I’ve only been using it for 2 weeks and right now I believe my cysts are rupturing or draining. This is a good thing. With PKD there are cysts that will grow on the kidneys and will spread to other organs. This can be just a few cysts, or they can be in the hundreds like mine. I’ve had them surgically drained and burned in the past.

The reason why I am glad that I am feeling worse before I feel better, is because it’s working. It’s called “The direction of the cure”. I’m not just putting a band aid on my health issues, I’m fixing them. My body does not need fluid stored up that it cannot filter properly, and I sure as heck don’t need any stones laying around.

This is my experience, I am not a doctor, I can only tell you what is working for me. Here’s some less scary stuff that I experienced and the benefits. I’ll list a link from the Mayo Clinic as well. I have chronic high blood pressure and monitor it. (one of the joys of PKD) (NOT) I took my blood pressure before and after use of infrared sauna. After 10 minutes, my top number lowered 23 points. My joints were less achy, my mood is ALWAYS enhanced afterwards, and I have an increase in energy. That’s great for anyone who is dealing with chronic fatigue. I just feel better all around! This also helps with blood circulation.

If I have to go through this much pain, so maybe other people who are having the same issues may see this and realize they have another choice in treatment, and of course to talk about Jesus, then what a small price to pay. Here’s a link to an online Bible, there are many translations.

Hello and Welcome!

Make yourself at home. This is a safe positive place to talk about all things natural. I am on a journey to heal from an autoimmune disease, and I’m choosing to do it naturally. I’ll be posting my treatment plan, diet, recipes, tips, and products I use. I am one of the many who are choosing to go the natural route in treatment/healing. I have strong faith in using what our Creator created to help us along the way. For me, I have taken pills here and there for a long time. For me, it always seems to put a band-aid on my issues instead of getting to the root cause.

I will include the names of blood tests I take, what a functional medicine doctor is, MTHFR, mitochondria, enzymes, donkey milk, and everything in between. What works for me may not work for you. I am not a doctor, I am a daughter of the Most High who wants to share natural remedies and products along the way.

Oh. I will most likely talk about Jesus too!
