You were very fortunate to not have had an adverse reaction to the DMPS challenge test. My DMPS challenge test almost drove me to suicide. Luckily someone was there to help me and stop me. These types of reactions are common with DMPS challenge tests and chelation therapies. Sometimes you could be on injection or I V number 6 and bingo something really bad could happen. I would not take that risk if I were you. The best information on treating amalgam illness, including the safe ways to chelate and how to chelate properly are found in a book by Andrew Hall Cutler, Amalgam Illness, Diagnosis and Treatment which you can buy on this site or at www.noamalgam.com (Andy's website). I am currently chelating using his protocol and am doing well with it. Before you choose a chelation protocol, I would read this book as to avoid doing any of the "dangerous and risky" things.
