New York State has made it illegal to do a hair test analysis. Even doctors can not order the test. Why would this be?
Here is their reasoning:
seeks to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results of laboratory
tests on specimens obtained within the state through on-site
inspections, proficiency testing and evaluation of the qualifications of
personnel of state permit-holding clinical laboratories and blood
banks. The proper performance of diagnostic laboratory tests is a matter
of vital concern, affecting the public health, safety and welfare of
all NYS residents. Clinical laboratories and blood banks provide
essential public health services in aiding the medical practitioner by
furnishing information invaluable in the diagnosis and treatment of
disease. Substandard performance of such tests may and has contributed
to erroneous diagnoses and/or the selection of inappropriate treatment
protocols.2
