Hello there!

This is a question for Mrs. D. and any others knowledgable in heavy metals testing.

Four years ago, my doctor at that time had me do a series of heavy metals test through "Doctors Data".

The test was a provoked six-hour test using oral DMSA.

Since that time, I have come to realize that the test is completely bogus!

The reference range is based on un-provoked testing, and when I first did an unprovoked test I was normal based on an "apples and apples" comparision.

The testing becomes bogus, however, when I then took oral DMSA, which artifically leached Mercury, lead, ect. into my urine. Of course, I then tested very high on Mercury because you are now comparing provoked urine vs. an unprovoked reference range that it is now being compared against (apples vs oranges).

From what I have read on the internet in places like "Quackwatch" this trickery is well known.

All this being said, how can one actually get an accurate test for Mercury (or does such a test even exist)?
