Re: urine testing & starting chelation- LAura

Thanks, TK. What is the name of the urine test? Anything specific?

Is it something I can order myself from somewhere, if I can't get it

thru my NP for some reason? Do you know how much it costs, generally?

What's the protocol for it? Do you collect your urine for 24 hours

while taking the low-dose DMSA? I assume it's not a spot test?

Thanks,
