Galveston County Daily News, Jan. 20, 2009 Dr. Michael Warren, in his weekly column, writes that we can help fight cancer before it ever gets into a body with some preventive medicine. "We must respect our bodies and conduct our lives such that we protect ourselves as much as possible. For instance, quit smoking and reduce the risk of lung cancer; adjust your diet (more fiber and less fat)." He also offers advice for people who have a history of diabetes in their families or who may be at risk for HIV.
