Which are the best testing kits to use if any and where can you purchase them from?

I like Doctor's Data for their HAIR ELEMENTS/essential and other elements test. Andy Cutler has used this DDI test to create some 'counting rules' to help determine if you are mercury poisoned. These counting rules are available in his Hair Test Interpretation book or on-line. I also use DDI for urine toxic metals testing while chelating my Autistic son. Great Smokies and Great Plains are both reputable labs, too, for tests such as Elemental Analysis (packed erythrocytes) and Detox Profile. Mercury rapidly leaves the blood stream to do it's dirty work in the cells. A simple blood test will only measure very recent exposure. Pam (mercury toxic, and mom to a vaccine injured child)

My dentist also recommended using drs. data testing kits as well as the ones from metametrix clinical laboratory. If you have a dr. who is willing to register with them, they will send the kit to you. My chiropractor is getting the 24 hour urine test that measures heavy metals, including mercury. We are hoping to see mercury being excreted once I take a chelating agent. I also know that Genova diagnostics makes these tests as well but I am not sure of their reputation as compared to the other two labs.
