How did you pick a hair testing lab? It does seem like hair testing should be the best way of testing for zinc, but reportedly there are wide variances between results at different labs, such that mainstream medicine seems to mostly discourage hair testing. Or skeptics can tear into it. http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/hair.html
Just via a doctor. I'm not sure how much I trust it but there was little harm in playing along. I was mostly interested in checking for chronic metal poisoning - which I returned rather excessively positive for (Aluminium).
How much did it cost, were you able to get insurance to pay for it, and if so, how?
Cost $100 if I recall. It's one of the few medical services I actually had to pay for here (Australia) - it's not quite mainstream enough to be covered by medicare.
