Home Actress Jen Gunter HD Photos and Wallpapers June 2024 Jen Gunter Instagram - Here is an example of how much money is in the DUTCH test. It’s not mean to say the DUTCH test is unindicated and that recommending it is a sign of a LACK of expertise, it’s the truth. I can see how a non expert might not have the training to understand why this test is useless, but that doesn’t change the facts. This practice (associated with Jenn Pike) charges $1997 plus tax (!) to get the DUTCH test and a total of 120 minutes of clinician care. A board certified GYN or endocrinologist could charge OHIP a total of $315 for all of that care. And the blood word (if needed) would be covered. Tell me again why people promote this test? Also, most doctors in Canada don’t charge to review test results, it’s part of being a doctor and the initial billing, so if there was no prescribing there wouldn’t even be a charge for the follow up.

Jen Gunter Instagram – I feel like I am tagged almost every day in some influencer post about the DUTCH test. As a reminder, I have a detailed article about it on TheVajenda.com

If you have not heard about this test, great! Keep it that way! 

This test is not recommended by actual experts. If you come across an influencer recommending this test they are either not an actual expert in reproductive hormones or they are a grifter. Those are the only two options. Neither are people from whom you should source information. 

Urine testing for estrogen metabolites is of no value in medicine. We have no studies to tell us what to do with these tests. I have seen people refuse menopause hormone therapy because results from this test told them they favored a “bad” estrogen pathway. This is only one way in which unindicated testing can harm people. And of course this test is a way for people to make money, because they charge for interpreting. And of course the grift is in charging to interpret the results, because they will recommend repeating it, often several times a year. 

 In the world of evidence based medicine we never recommend urine or salivary test for that matter for evaluating reproductive hormones. When testing is needed, we order a blood test. 

We never recommend hormone testing, never mind hormone metabolite testing as a baseline, but that is what is promoted on the website for this test. We never recommend managing MHT based on levels, but that is what is recommended on the website. I could go on, but I would get even angrier than I am. 

I see real harm from people changing their medical care based on results from the DUTCH test and, of course, people are told to take expensive supplements and I am sure follow restrictive diets based on the results. This is not benign! 

When you see people recommending the DUTCH test, my advice would be to block or at least unfollow.

Until we have large scale prospective studies that tell us how this test can help women, it is of no value. Which is where we are currently. This test provides the illusion of care, but it is just an illusion. And you deserve better.
Jen Gunter Instagram – I get asked about supplements a lot, so I decided to organize all my posts in a subheading on my Substack, TheVajenda.com. Look, if the supplement industry isn’t going to give you the information you need for informed consent, I will. I have basic posts on understanding the different types of supplements, as well as the money to be made, the backstory behind the lack of legislation in the US, and posts about specific products.

One issue with supplements is that they often don’t contain what they claim, they can be contaminated with microbials, and be adulterated with pharmaceuticals or even poisons. 

In a study published in JAMA (2024), researchers looked at the accuracy of labeling for products containing galantamine, a medication used to treat dementia (primarily Alzheimer’s disease), but it has some off-label indications as well. Galantamine offered a unique opportunity to compare the accuracy of labeling for a prescription product versus a supplement, as galantamine is available as both a prescription (regulated) and as a supplement (unregulated). With the regulated prescription (generics were chosen), the amount of galantamine in the pills was between 97.5% and 104.2% of the amount indicated on the label, which is not an uncommon margin of error, and there was no bacterial contamination. However, with the unregulated, over-the-counter supplement version, the amount of galantamine ranged from less than 2% to as much as 110% percent of what was printed on the label, and only one product contained what is claimed with the same margin of error as the prescription products. In addition, three or 30% of the supplements were contaminated with genes for the enterotoxin produced by Bacillus cereus, which is a cause of food poisoning.

Please head over and check it out so you can be informed. Because you can’t make an informed choice without the I formation!
