I am wondering if it is worthwhile to do a hair tissue mineral analysis... has anybody used it?

I haven't bothered as I've read that it's highly dodgy and doesn't reflect the actual mineral-levels within the body, as a whole - same goes for urine-analysis etc.

Sometimes high levels of metals found when conducting hair tissue analysis can mean your body is detoxing these metals. So high levels in hair doesn't mean high levels in the body.

oh.. then this seems a bit tricky...
(this genuine_detox Versus Health_issue_symptoms puzzles me... even during my vegetarian/vegan days I used to think it is detox but it was deficiency symptoms...)

If you had the test done several times over the course of a year or more and charted the levels you could probably get an accurate picture without having to wonder if it was just detox, right?
