TK--- it isn't. Urine Challenge tests are not recommended and not

informative. Screwing around with dosage this way during a round is

dangerous and not informative.

Do you need a challenge test for insurance?

I wouldn't do, regardless. I did two DMPS provoked tests before I

switched protocols, to satisfy a previous practitioner. Nether one went

easy. Thankfully nether one incapacitated me either.

I did see my reported urine mercury value go down with each challenge

test. That in NO way represented my symptoms. After the second

challenge test, my practitioner was ready to pronounce me " cured " ,

never mind I was probably at my worse, symptom-wise. Needless to say, I

no longer see that provider.

I am also sure a subset of my current symptoms were either exacerbated

or totally caused by these two challenge tests. The challenge tests

only end up making proper chelation that much harder to get through.

If you have to do a challenge test for insurance purposes..to get your

scripts..what people often do is collect the urine at the end of the

round. This way you avoid that high dose they want you to take and the

urine will show what you dumped on the round of chelation. AT least it

will show enough to satisfy the claim of metal toxicity.

I too agree with TK don't do a 250mg dose and don't' tink with the

dose on a round.

These test in no way indicate your body burden of metals thought, so

they are not useful diagnostically. All it says it " you have metals "
