Hair analysis

I am old enough to remember when here analysis was a big thing for minerals.

Books were printed about it. I found one yesterday from analytical research laboratories with poor drawings of rabbits et cetera.

Has hair analysis gone the way of the dinosaur as I don't notice it being mentioned.

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alexe - There are still some practitioners insisting that hair analysis is a useful tool and others have moved on to more definitive testing for toxicities but it's not found useful for mineral testing.

Some still use that hair analysis as a quick analysis of mercury, lead, arsenic and such so that detoxing therapy can begin... (such as chelation therapy).
