Success Stories
I had begun to experience the discomfort of bloating for nearly a year or so. My initial thought was that it was a byproduct of being perimenopausal. In seeking relief, I tried several Citrate Magnesium cleansings; but I noticed that the bloating would return within days. So, I decided to surf the web for information regarding bloating discomfort and hopefully something to relieve the symptoms. Unfortunately, I found nothing worthwhile. In September of 2018, I noticed a Tweet for Debra’s Healing Kitchen Podcast, via Vercay Radio. So I tuned in and was amazed at all of the information that was presented. I decided to contact Debra’s website and seek advice regarding the bloating that I was experiencing.
She suggested that I try: Food Enzymes, Probiotics, or Evening Primrose. Well, I decided to go with the Food Enzymes and Evening Primrose. After one (1) week of using the supplements, I noticed that the bloating symptoms were subsiding. I’ve been using them for about two months now, and I am amazed at the results. I can actually put on a pair of jeans and zip them up now. I’m not sure if I’m losing inches or pounds nevertheless, the supplements are certainly working for me.
Thanks for all you do to keep us healthy!

Dearest Sis. Haynes,
Every prayer request deserves its own praise report. I have been meaning to share with you that ever since I read your email I haven't been the same. Your words of Herbal healing, Water & fresh lemons, and the prayer caused my spirit to leap. I can't explain it.
The next day (Thursday) I went to Ann's Health Food store and started your healing regimen suggestions, and today, the Lord Healed My Body and told me to run on! My soul say thank you!

“I had been experiencing hot flashes for about three months. After I vented my frustration to Debra Peek-Haynes she suggested that I should take a supplement. She suggested evening primrose and dong quai. I started taking evening primrose along with another supplement that had dong quai as one of the ingredients. I took the supplements every day. Within a week my hot flashes had ceased. Currently I take the supplements twice a week just to maintain my hormonal balance. Thank you Debra for sharing the knowledge.”

“October 2013, I attended a seminar given by Debra Peek-Haynes at Friendship West Baptist Church. Debra’s book was being introduced on healthy hearts and eating healthy. I am a member of FWBC and I wanted to support her. One of her speakers was Dr. Mark Jenkins, Cardiologist. He stated in his speech there were probably a number of persons there with heart problems and don’t even know it. I said to myself “I hope it is not me” .
There was a vendor there from Dr. Robert Jones’ Podiatrist office. The staff person there was giving “FREE” test to check circulation in your legs and feet. I had always had a concern about the swelling in my legs and feet and yes I have hypertension and diabetes. I have always kept my medical appointments. I took the test and was told I had circulations problems worst in my right leg than my left and I should see a cardiologist. I took my results to my primary physician the following week. He reviewed the results and said to me “is this you?” My answer “yes”. I took the test. He referred me to Dr. Mark Thompson, Cardiologist at Methodist Hospital. He and Dr. Jenkins are in the same office. I began a series of heart test and circulation test. Those results showed some circulation problems, but he asked if I would take a heart cauterization and peripheral test so they could see inside. I agreed and it was scheduled for December 4, 2013. They told me to bring an overnight bag which is standard procedure. In my mind, I was thinking test and I go home. I returned to my room and was told I would be there overnight and the doctor would explain. Dr. Jenkins came in and told me I had blockage in two arteries on the right and in one on the left, and he put in three stents.He did not do anything to my legs. The good news was that he also said my heart muscle was good, i had not had a heart attack, nor a stroke.
I did not have any usual symptoms people have. It was explained that some people don’t. I was shocked, but I began to thank God for protecting and keeping me and guiding my feet to the right place to get help. I am grateful for the podiatrist’s staff, and to Debra for her mission on encouraging people to be healthy. I am working on some lifestyle changes.” ~Katherine Janice Morrison

“Sister Haynes was teaching a class on having a healthier lifestyle and I attended the class. Today I am 104 pounds thinner and 10 dress sizes smaller. I thank God for Sister Haynes encouragement.” ~Doris Jones
“Debra consistently made the point that the low-fat, low-calorie foods I was eating were toxic because of the sugar and chemical contents. I sought out an independent, integrative-medicine doctor who confirmed for me that processed white sugar was toxic. It was the source of my joint pain and it caused autoimmune-type symptoms such as chronic inflammation,” said Ms. Hill. “After just three months of avoiding processed foods and balancing my hormonal, vitamin and mineral levels, I no longer have pain from arthritis, my blood pressure has dropped, and I have lost 27 pounds. Debra’s message is empowering in that it encourages me to make decisions with whole-body mindfulness.” ~Phyllis Hill
“I am doing a 21-day purification and your book has literally kept me on the straight and narrow. The recipes are right on time. Tonight I am using your recipe for greens. Because of your book, I will be able to complete the purification. Thank you, Deb. May God continue to bless you with the resources you need to change lives for the better. I am a healthier me – mind, body and soul.” ~Mary McCrady-Miller
“I just wanted to let you know that the “Heart2Heart” workshop was great. Your presentation was very informative and eye opening. Your book has inspired me to take my health to the next level. I’m clearing the bad items out my pantry and replacing them with healthier options from your book. Thanks for such a great presentation and book to help people like me get started.” ~Delia Moffitt
“Thank you First Lady for the empowering presentation. As I sat there receiving such powerful information I felt guilty that I did not invite someone so I could share in such a transforming presentation. I just want to thank you for exposing us to people in the medical profession that was willing to share with us preventive measures for unwanted health issues. In addition to providing us with those tips they were also able to meet us where we were, providing us with advice that was tailored to where we were on our healthy lifestyle journey. I am also forever grateful for you providing us with the healthy alternatives to the way we have been taught to cook, you have truly given me a way to transform my way of looking at food.” ~Helen Hughes
“I started Weight Watchers(WW) on 052607 and my starting weight was 279.6 lbs.I gained weight when I was pregnant with my first child back in 1984. I managed to lose 50 lbs with Dick Gregory diet. We were a military family and I kept it off for until the military was deployed to Saudi Arabia back in 1990 and my husband’s unit was deployed. I started to gain again. Then gained a whole lot when I got pregnant again and had my second child in 1994. I took care of everyone except myself. I put everyone first and then God spoke to me and I joined WW on 05/26/07. I was told it was time to focus on me and put me first.WW taught me a lot and helped me to change my relationship with food. I learned how to eat in a healthy way. I lost 115.6 lbs on 082308. That was a happy day in my life. My now ex-husband did not even think enough of it to celebrate with me. I am glad that I did it for me and that gave me the strength to keep going.He walked out March 2009. God has helped me to keep it off so far. I am still part of WW and I still go to the support group meetings.Sister Haynes, your classes and posting have helped me realize that even though I am eating healthier then before I still need to learn more about eating better and living better.Thank you for educating us all. My son likes to eat as well. We both eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and lean meats.We work out on a regular basis and enjoy it. Your book is an excellent resource. Please continue what you are doing and know you’re helping others.THANK YOU VERY MUCH.You and Pastor Haynes have help myself and my son more than you realized. We walked into FWBC the day after my husband walked out broken,confused and not knowing what was next. Thank you both for helping us mentally and spiritually. We love you both and love this church. May God bless you all.” ~Mildred Harrison
