I am aware that "safek pikuach nefesh" is "doche es haShabbos" (halfway down page - "Even in a doubtful situation").

My question is whether or not a commandment can be broken in cases that could prevent an illness (e.g if it was certain that eating pig could prevent a certain type of cancer, consuming freshly crushed herbs on shabbos to prevent a certain disease etc.)?
