Kroger Community Rewards Renewal
Kroger Community Rewards is a way to support Jamie’s Hope by shopping where you already do! If you haven’t done so, please add Jamie’s Hope to your Kroger card – they will DONATE 1% of your purchases back to JH. Every dollar helps – and these add up quick! If you already have, please check to make sure that Jamie’s Hope is still your charity to donate, since, unfortunately, Kroger requires you to reselect you charity each year. #JamiesHope #Kroger #GiveBack...
Parabens
I am sure everybody has heard of parabens, but what are they? I heard the word for years, but just didn’t care to listen. But guess what, a life with cancer has me listening now!!! For some of you lucky individuals that have never been affected by cancer or don’t care, you’re welcome to keep ingesting and using products loaded with chemicals, but you may want to start hoping and praying for good health. With the cancer statistics these days the odds aren’t in anybody’s favor!!! Parabens (an endocrine-disrupting chemical with a structure similar to estrogen) is used as a common preservative to prevent microbes from growing. They can be found in processed meats, pastries, make-up, face wash, toiletries, shampoos, and even the contraceptive pill. According to the the American Chemical Society parabens are in about 85% of our personal care products… SCARY! A recent study even showed parabens can spur the growth in certain types of breast cancer cells. So what to do? Read labels, read labels, read labels!!! Look for products that are “paraben free.” OR you can choose to do nothing like I did for 20 years and hope for the best, but that didn’t work out so well for me smile emoticon Common Names to Avoid: parabens, methyparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben, isopropylparaben, or any ingredients ending in –paraben So today’s project: clean house. Oh… Em… Gee. I couldn’t believe how many products I was previously using or had in guest bathrooms. Seriously…. was shocked and I didn’t even look in the pantry! I was even more shocked to learn Weight Watchers and Archer Farms even...
Woohoo! we have our first HOLE SPONSOR!

Potassium Bromate
Did you know that potassium bromate is banned in the United Kingdom, China, Brazil, Peru and many other European countries, BUT NOT THE UNITED STATES? I found that quite interesting and since I have been fighting cancer for over 20 years, I thought it was about time I learn what I have been eating most of my life. So today I bring you a little information on potassium bromate, another food additive that makes the EWG’s “Dirty Dozen.” Considering I previously consumed a diet high in baked goods, processed food and fast food, my guess is I have likely consumed tons of potassium bromate in my lifetime. So what is potassium bromate anyways??? Bromated flour contains potassium bromate, an oxidizing agent commonly used in commercial baking to promote rising, improve and strengthen dough. In the U.S., the FDA has encouraged bakers to voluntarily stop using bromated flour, but shouldn’t we be doing more? At least California is doing something… they are the only state to have potassium bromate on their Proposition 65 list (which warns residents of danger associated with the chemical by requiring a cancer warning on their labels). Thank you California!! Only 49 more states to go unsure emoticon You can also read more at the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) which found that this chemical appears to be “formally identified” as causing cancer. I also included a link with the awesome Proposition 65 list for those interested in avoiding potentially dangerous and toxic chemicals. If that’s not convincing enough, potassium bromate is labeled as a category 2B carcinogen by the International Agency for Research...

Some great news on Bob Allen!
Some great news on Bob Allen! #KickCancersAss #GetWellBob: “Once again, thanks again for your many thoughts and prayers, as I’m coming down the home stretch of this cage match with lymphoma.All signs are pointing to lymphoma tapping out. Got great news late last week. I’m in total remission! In a few weeks I check into MD Anderson for a stem cell transplant. The type of lymphoma I had has a tendency to recur, but the transplant gives me a complete new immune system, which could likely be a complete cure. I’m ready to get in there to finish this off. I have been overwhelmed and grateful for y’all reaching out with positive thoughts and prayers.That along with a great team of doctors at MDA, along with belief that this won’t beat me has done wonders. Had a great Thanksgiving with my daughter, son in law and two amazing grandkids coming in, along with the rest of family & new extended family.Thanks again for caring, & I’ll be seeing you soon.” Photo below is from our Masquerade for a Cure event program...
