So you need at least $1billion to do any work - when a 747 costs less than $30k to fly for an hour, or a biz-jet

This link might give you an idea, the human hair stores history.

Secondly I doubt you have been to a doctor many times, just an observation of your very ignorant post.

Aluminum (Al) – Aluminum is elevated in hair only in extreme exposures (and even then is inconsistent), and is unrelated to serum or bone aluminum. Aluminum dietary intake is unrelated to aluminum in hair, even with controlled dietary intake. Aluminum in hair is not a useful biological indicator of exposure
….
If hair analysis is undertaken for comparison of groups, choose element(s) for which the literature supports such an approach, e.g., methylmercury, e.g., NOT aluminum.
....
Age. The age of the individual or population tested can affect the results and interpretation of hair analysis. Studies suggest, for example, that alkaline earths and zinc are not excreted as much in early years of life. The opposite is true with aluminum, of which children excrete higher levels than adults (Paschal 1989).
If you have a serious untreated and unknown illness any Doctor worth his/her salt is going to test the hair on your body..
I don't care if you say this or that, but you are incorrect saying that it is not a reliable test.
Aluminum (Al)
hair levels reflect past or chronic exposure to this element. The level in hair is a reliable indicator of assimilation of this element, provided that hair preparations or scissors have not added aluminum to the hair. Aluminum is a nonessential element that can be toxic if excessively assimilated into cells. Hair is easily contaminated with aluminum from hair treatment and possibly by wash water if it is high in Al content.

Really, because as many times as I have been sick I for one have never had any doctor take any hair sample from me except maybe a court ordered hair follicle test.
In fact I can't ever recall a doctor taking anything other than a blood test or oral swab to run tests, really hair testing for an illness,Interesting.....
Don't get me wrong I am not saying it couldn't happen, but I just have never heard of that.. I guess anything is possible.

1. What is Hair Drug Testing?
Since hair growth is fed by the bloodstream, the ingestion of drugs of abuse is revealed by analyzing a small sample of hair. Our testing method measures the drug molecules embedded inside the hairshaft, eliminating external contamination as a source of a positive test result. Hair testing results cannot be significantly altered with shampoos or other external chemicals.
2. What drugs are included in a standard Hair Drug Test?
Cocaine, marijuana, opiates (Codeine, Morphine & 6-monoacteyl morphine), methamphetamine, (Meth/amphetamine & Ecstasy), and phencyclidine (PCP). These five drug classes are mandated for testing by the Federal Government.
The use of hair analysis in alternative medicine as a method of investigation to assist alternative diagnosis is controversial[1][2] and its use in this manner has been opposed repeatedly by the AMA because of its unproven status and its potential for health care fraud.

The only thing that hair test is used for is testing for drug use.

The AMA says it's useless, and potential quackery.
