7. A provocative (challenge) for heavy metals, prior to submission to lab, includes:
8. A heavy metal urine challenge test can be performed with which chelation agents:
9. In a recent patient referral you have found the presence of Mercury toxicity, you consider a chelation protocol, knowing that:
10. You have a 54 year old male patient coming in for 30 EDTA – GSH - DMPS treatments. During these treatments you will be administering remineralization IV’s. What is the optimal frequency of this type of IV during EDTA chelation:
11. Patients with active, unstable CHF:
12. Renal insufficiency is:

17. Sodium and Calcium have _____________ affinity than Lead and Mercury for EDTA:
18. A patient has thirty EDTA / other chelators treatments performed safely. Ten years later they have a heavy metal test and find high Lead and Mercury being excreted. This finding would be:
19. Sitting with a couple of your colleagues at lunch you are discussing whether or not the need for extra testing is necessary. You mention that you have just taken the seminar on chelation. One of your colleagues has a referral for you. A 45 year old female, appear overall healthy but has been exposed to some heavy metals as a child, you discuss what labs have been done. She reports she has been diagnosed with an “autoimmune condition” but does not have those labs or any other information. You recall some discussion about EKG’s at the seminar that it is:
20. The patient lifestyle / behavior most predisposing to toxic side effects of chelation is:
22. Regarding the activity of metals in the body during the days following chelation:
23. EDTA is:

29. A 59 year old male presents with hypertension (150/90 untreated), a normal EKG, normal physical examination, and all lab values within normal limits – except for a mild serum creatanine elevation / GFR decrease (Grade II CKD). A heavy metal challenge reveals elevated levels of Lead, Aluminum, and Mercury. The course of treatment most reasonable with regard to chelation therapy would be: (Note: all options include vitals, U/A, history update and DTR’s at every visit).
30. A 42 year old male patient presents requesting chelation therapy. He has Hepatitis-B which is currently active, and has elevated liver function tests which were drawn 1 week ago. He complains of fatigue, nausea and objectively shows mild icterus.

With respect to chelation therapy, your most reasonable plan would be:
31. You see a patient you had given 30 I.V. EDTA-DMPS chelations. You followed all the protocols you had learned, and the patient has responded very well. Subjectively and objectively you assess the patient to be 80% improved and all renal and liver labs are normal. The patient is so impressed with the results they strongly request you provide more chelation. Your response to the request is:

43. In this course you were advised the best results and well-rounded chelation protocols require:
44. The best pharmacodynamic model of EDTA would allow for:
45. The challenge test most likely to cause maximum excretion result for Lead, Aluminum and Mercury is:
