Supplement Orders Update

Dear Patients:

I am and continue to be concerned by the trend to buy up as many of everything as people can as it impacts our patient population. Many doctors and clinics have been purchasing supplements and partially capitalizing on this panic. 

There is NO cure for ANY virus, your immune system will do its job and take care of it. Supplements can support your immune system but they will NOT prevent the spread of the virus as we think now that it may survive on surfaces for perhaps days. The result is that the major distributors of therapeutic pharmaceutical supplements are not able to keep up with the demand. 

Supplements aren’t like bleach, they cannot always be manufactured, and sometimes they are harvested or grown. 

There will be delays in receiving supplements necessary to your care.

Our biggest concern is our patients who are not able to get treatment, in chemoradiation and or in their first 2 years of survivorship.

Our response has been to take a loan against our staff salary budget and buy 20-30 bottles of available stock so that we have some sort of safety net for you and also don’t deplete the stock available to other cancer practices. 

They should be here by Saturday, March 21st. 

We will have in the office:

  • Melatonin 20 mg

  • Reishi 

  • Vital 10 probiotics

  • Glutamine

  • Magnesium Glycinate

  • Ginger Root

  • Ashwaganda

  • Vitamin D

  • B12

We will make that stock available to all our patients but we are prioritizing cancer patients.

You can and should still order through bewellwithaim.com 

You may find though, that you place an order and are told the item you needed was out of stock. 

In that case, you will be told if we have it in the office or if we can replace it with an alternative. 

If we have it, you will need to show up during office hours and pick up what you need, as we cannot ship to you unless you are out of state. We are continuing to follow precautions and our office is a safe place for you to stop by.

If we do not have it, you and I will wait until it becomes available again.

It would behoove our patients who are IN treatment to try to get and store 3 months supply of supplements now in case there is a permanent shortage.

I am so sorry that we didn’t predict this and buy in bulk earlier, it wasn’t part of our business model and it is absolutely something I should have anticipated. I truly expected restraint from my colleagues. 

For those of you who do not have cancer, and are not in treatment, or are outside of your 2-year survivorship window, still place your orders on bewellwithaim.com but please be patient with us as we prioritize needs.

As usual, do not purchase supplements over the counter without running it by us. It may be safe or it may indeed make things worse.

Thank you. 

Be well,

Drs. Roy and March
