I'll be grateful if you'd clarify a few things:
- You started with very high aluminium levels. What was measured?
- You scored +200 out of 20. Does this mean that your levels were 220 of some unit, while the average was 20?
- After 20 sessions your levels were normalized. What was measured?
- How long was there from the first to the last chelation session?
There is some literature suggesting that, in respect to aluminium, at least, the blood brain barrier is asymmetric, being easier to get in than out. Once in the brain the aluminium becomes semipermanent [1].
Yokel et al. [2] write that the amount of aluminium in the brains of rats decreases "with a half-life of approximately 150 days" without chelation and approximately 55 days with. Estimates of the half-life of aluminium in human brains vary: 7 years is one [3].
These effects could lead to normal readings outside the brain, while inside the brain aluminium levels would still be high enough to continue doing damage.

Hello John,
I will try to be more accurate. Regarding chelation therapy which I made, it's IV (EDTA + C vitamin + other electrolytes) performed with slow infusion (about 2 hours) according with ACAM protocol (American college for advancement in medicine).
http://www.acamnet.org/site/c.ltJWJ4..._Chelation.htm
Final score were measured in a specialistic lab, taking urine sample, after each chelation session.
Maximum level of aluminum in the measurement scale was: 20 micrograms / liter. My values to the first infusion were 169, at the fourth were 207, at the eighth were 134, at the twelfth were 206, at the fifteenth were 123, at the eighteenth were 60. I also measured mercury and lead, but they were always in the range.
Total number of sessions was performed in about 18 months.
I also removed all my old teeth fillings in my mouth.
My next step will be to investigate about Manganese level in my body.
Do you remember some posts ago, what I linked?

Look carefully the three videos that I linked.
