I'm more concerned with methodology, things like how they wash the hair, rather than the whole thing being an all out scam. There may not be much oversight but why would the labs take such a huge credibility risk by testing only 10% of the time and randomizing the rest? Also, if enough hair tests turned to be not much help, they wouldn't have such a realiable reputation in regards to toxicity. Cutler reccomends them and he seems to know what he's talking about.

Your concerns are not completely invalid but I think you're falling for the old "anything alternative medicine is a potential scam" mantra. Not entirely false but also a message the establishment would probably love to keep running through your head. Keep people so terrified of being scammed they never spend the $$ they need to get better. But what's worse, I ask you: to seperate one's money from their wallet, or to seperate one's brain from their body? False tests can only really screw you the former way. Dentists can and do screw you in the former and much scarier latter way.

Maybe I'm just saying this cause I just ordered Doctor's Data "test of the month" discounted hair test. But testing is merely one small piece to the puzzle. If it helps me great, if not, worst thing is I'm out 75$. Not the end of the world. I'm not going to lose sleep over whether or not I've been scammed. Would suck if so, but I don't have much control over it.
