Commercial Hair Analysis – A Sign Of Quackery

I told an acupuncturist friend that I had been sick a lot lately.

He recommended getting a $95 hair sample test from Analytical Research Labs.

I asked for some information and got it. Then I went to Google and did some research.

Quackwatch.org says: “Hair analysis is worthless for assessing the body’s nutritional status or serving as a basis for dietary or supplement recommendations. Should you encounter a practitioner who claims otherwise, run for the nearest exit and file a complaint with your state attorney general!”

I think I’ll skip this test.
