Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment require special attention to help them cope with and recover from the often grueling side effects that leave many weakened and vulnerable to secondary infections. Valley Integrative Pharmacy (VIP) in Bedminster offers cancer patients a place where they can receive dedicated and professional support to help them get back on their feet again.

Nutritional consultant and owner of Eat Holistic LLC, Kirstin Nussgruber and VIP owner Jim Cammarata have created a separate cancer support section with dedicated supplemental and nutritional products aimed at reducing side effects, enhancing and complementing treatments as well as encouraging treatment recovery.

Nussgruber, a two-time cancer survivor, credits her ability to complete her cancer treatments without delays and recover from them without lasting side effects, to her extensive supplement regimen during and after treatments. “It is vitally important to understand which supplements enhance your conventional care and which could potentially negatively interact with their effectiveness,” says Nussgruber. “At VIP, nutritionists and pharmacists work together as a team, taking each patient’s specific treatment into account to ensure an optimum fit.”

On the first Tuesday of each month, cancer patients and survivors can receive a nutritional and skin care consultation free of charge. Registration required.
