Has anyone done the 24 hour DMSA challenge described in Andy Cutlers book and been tested positive for mercury?

I'm looking for a source. Can anyone give me the name address and phone number of a lab anywhere in North America that would do a 24 Hour (urine) DMSA Challenge test? I live close to Toronto, Ontario. CANADA. I want to deal with the Lab directly. No, I don't want to go to a Health Practioner and pay his fee for interpretation.

Does DMSA cross the blood brain barrier?
I heard only ALA can chelate the brain

DMSA does not cross the blood brain barrier to any clinical degree. But using it in the wrong manner can allow mercury to go into the brain of its own accord.
mercury has no problems getting into the brain and only needs to be wildly mobilised by a chelating agent used in the wrong way to get there and other sensitive tissue.
The only way unfortunately to get mercury back out is by using something that can get in like alpha lipoic acid, cilantro etc. But again they must be used at the right time in the right manner. Because of their ability to cross over, they must be used much later in the programme after a person has already chelated out much of their blood/tissue mercury.
