I've never done a challenge test. I don't personally like them and I wouldn't personally do one on my son. But that's just me. I prefer AC chelation. No challenge test needed or required. I know there are many kids that have done well with IV and high dose oral chelation. I can't really comment on that much because I've never done it. I did do DAN oral chelation with DMSA at a high dose for a very brief period of time and my son did not react well to it. I didn't stay on it long enough to see if it would even out, I thought it was more of a risk than I was willing to take. Once we started AC chelation, amazing things happened and we test his mineral levels regularly. Never had anything bad come out of it for us. I do know that even AC chelation has been intolerable to some kids but I don't think the reaction is anywhere near as severe for most of them.
