A provokation is where they do what is called a chelation challenge. The doctor

gives you just a couple of days of chelation treatment, and then has you give

the urine specimen to see if the chelation brought out a large quanity of

metals. You do the chelation challenge at home, and the test as well. You mail

it in to the lab, and they send the results to the doctor. I believe ours ran

about $200-$250. You would need to go through a doctor, but I don't know what

type for an adult. Perhaps your best bet would be to call the office of one of

the dan doctors(doctors who treat autistic children), and ask if they can point

you in the right direction. Most doctors would run a blood test for you to

check for some metals, but wouldn't test further if it came back fine. The

problem with that is that often metals settle into different organs in your

body. If they're not actively floating around in the blood, they won't show up

in the test. I don't know why doctors balk in regards to the urine tests, hair

samples, and stuff like that. My dad has worked in health and safety for the

military for 20 years, and then in the private sector for another 20 years. He

has often told me that it is a well known and accepted fact that metals may not

show up in blood work because they've already settled to other parts of the

body. He was a huge help to me when we started researching heavy metal

poisoning for our son. So, my suggestion would be to talk to the right kind of

doctor about the best way to get an accurate result. I can also tell you that

the prescription for the chelation medication cost us about $100 just for three

days to provoke the metals, but our prescription coverage did reemberse us for

that. I'm sure if you give your area of the country, someone on the list can

recommend a dan doctor near you who could point you in the right direction for a

doctor to help you.

doing it on your own? Are you going to do a provokation first?
