> So is there no practical way of testing for heavy metal toxicity?
Mm.... no I wasn't saying there aren't ways for testing -- there are blood and/or urine tests for most heavy metals that are understood to be toxic to humans....but the reference levels that are standard for determining acute toxicity and what dictates true need for chelation therapy (calcium sodium edetate, dimercaprol) are definite positive high levels rather than some random testing by some organization.
The sites which propose the user to use DMSO and other compounds to "release free radicals" and to go to doctors for what basically are "routine chelation" are not in accord with the HON code and can be dangerous.Also, sometimes unnecessary chelation can increase toxicity of other metals.
Radioactive toxicity is a rare situation and is rather hard to quantify given that even medical procedures themselves expose one to radiation (CAT) and background radiation.
