Focus On Hope

Focus On Hope

Please Remember & Share in case you know someone who would like to take advantage of the Jamie’s Hope – Focus on Hope Program: Focus On Hope is a year round program where those battling cancer can request to capture a special moment in their journey. Watching your hair fall out can be devastating. Like Jamie and Debbie, many choose to shave their head, rather than allowing cancer and chemo to dictate when they lost their hair. You can choose to take control of this part of your journey, and allow us to help you document this most memorable event. This is a complimentary service! If you would like to capture and embrace this time in your life, please join us for an intimate, complimentary photoshoot where makeup, hair & photography professionals have joined together to offer their services free of charge to help create a great experience for you. To take advantage of this opportunity or donate your professional services, please email us at photoshoot@jamieshope.org #‎JamiesHope‬ ‪#‎FocusOnHope‬ ‪#‎EndCancer‬ ‪#‎Beauty‬ ‪#‎Photoshoot‬ Please consider donating to Jamie’s Hope so we can continue to help cancer patients heart emoticon heart emoticon...

Parabens

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...
Potassium Bromate

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...

A Healthy Mind

A Healthy Mind

From what I have learned over the past year, having a healthy mind is one of the most important parts of my transformation. Living a healthy lifestyle, dieting, exercising, fighting cancer, etc….. requires serious dedication and motivation. Without the right mindset you can forget it. I incorporated a meditation schedule into my daily regimen and truly believe it played a huge part in changing my life. So, for anybody that struggles staying on track with whatever you are trying to accomplish in life, START WITH THE MIND!!!!! Start small, find a pre-recorded guided meditation and try it for a week. ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #Meditation #GetHealthy #Mind #Motivation #Dedication #Cancer...
