Is hair analysis a worthwhile test?
Yes, hair analysis is a valuable test for assessing chronic heavy metal toxicity (mercury, arsenic, lead, etc.). In fact, it is the definitive test used to diagnose arsenic toxicity in mainstream medicine. Hair analysis also provides information about essentia minerals, including the ratios between them, which can uncover patterns of imbalance that affect behavior and mood in children and adults. Hair analysis can also identify individuals who have high requirements for specific nutrients.
