Are hair analyses really accurate?

Yes, of course they are. They are as credible as a standard blood or urine test – maybe more. The key to a good hair analysis is the capability of a credentialed laboratory and the expertise of the practitioner interpreting the results. The American government and law enforcement agencies have depended upon hair analyses for decades to provide conclusive evidence in crime investigations and for drug testing for prison parolees. The cause of death by poisoning can only be determined conclusively via a hair analysis, as in the case of President Andrew Jackson.

Doctor's Data Laboratory, the lab Dr, Hull selected for hair testing, performed the hair analysis on Andrew Jackson's body, and determined he was indeed poisoned by arsenic. Doctor's Data also does all testing on the animals at Sea World.

A hair analysis is not understood in traditional medicine, but is highly respected in the world of forensics, scientific research, and drug testing. A hair analysis works the same as a soil or water sample to a geologist and engineer - it leaves a permanent imprint of the body's environment within the protein in the hair follicles.
