Eat Better....You May Be Preventing Cancer
And Other Future Health Problems
Numerous surveys have revealed that the greatest health
concerns among women are breast cancer, heart disease, and ovarian cancer. Yet
while these concerns are great, many women, according to the surveys, put
their own health concerns very low on their priority list.
Many of our patients come into our clinic for various health disorders
including PMS symptoms, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, skin disorders, heart
concerns, weight concerns, in addition to cancer concerns. Part of our
management plan is to get them on a nutritional and supplement program that will
benefit their situation as quickly as possible.
After testing, and we determine the individual metabolism and "body type" of the
patient, many will be put on a diet that we believe can greatly influence not
only a patient's current health situation, but also their future health.
Scientific research makes it clear that any diet that excessively raises a
person's blood sugar will increase their risk of cancer. Thus, diets
high in simple carbohydrates such as sugar and white flour increase the cancer
risk.
These high simple carbohydrate diets do this by many mechanisms including
elevating insulin levels but also in raising estradiol levels (increase female
cancer rates) and raising dihydrotestosterone levels (increase male cancer rates
such as Prostate cancer).
It is interesting when vegetables are eliminated in studies as an independent
variable and fruits are looked at by themselves (instead of lumped with
vegetables) they do not prevent cancer. It is our opinion that too much
fruit consumption by increasing blood sugar and insulin levels would increase
cancer rates.
So a cancer preventative diet is high in complex carbohydrates from vegetables,
legumes, beans, and high in protein.
Elimination of certain foods from your diet can greatly enhance your energy and
immune systems. These include: Potatoes, breads ,
cold (sugary) breakfast cereal, fruit juices ,
bananas, white rice, pizza, pasta, muffins, fruit punch, sodas ,
milk, pancakes, table sugar, jam, French fries,
and candy. Notice that these are high-carbs, high-sugar, high-fructose
things.
Dr. Bob Filice
received his M.D. degree from Loyola-Stritch School of
Medicine in
Maywood Illinois in
1973. After subsequently completing a residency and
Board Certification in Psychiatry and Neurology he

He proceeded to
successfully treat tens of thousands of patients with
every type of human disease using primarily life style
modifications and nutritional therapies, and gained the
respect and admiration of his patients and colleagues.
He is very experienced in every aspect of natural
medicine, and has now added Prolotherapy to his favored
list of healing modalities since joining Caring
Medical’s staff in 2003. Dr Filice is an astute
