But regardless, the main point seems to be that an average person will go about 50% out of range (at least for mercury) when provoked. And indeed, my doctors are not concerned about the "elevated" levels that are only slightly out-of-range, like Cadmium for example, or even 2-3 times out of range. They are concerned about the one that is 6.6 times out of range.

The main point is not that an average person will go about 50% out of range for mercury. That's not even suggested...
The main point is that when chelation drugs are taken, heavy metal are leeched out of the blood and secreted in urine, and so it is absolutely natural and expected to see "out of range" levels in the urine at that time, as there is no "range" for the levels that chelation produces. The "range" given is for people not taking chelation drugs.

Meanwhile, you may notice that Tungsten was a little elevated before the drug, and stayed right at the same level after the drug. From this we can infer that there's some higher-than-average source of Tungsten somewhere in his environment, but he's successfully processing and peeing it out without a problem, thus there was no extra Tungsten for the drug to grab.

This is incorrect.
DMSA is meant to leech out "soft" metals such as lead, mercury, tin and cadmium, but tungsten, not so much. The levels of tungsten are not higher because the drug doesn't grab it.
(And apparently it reverse-leeched titanium, as the "after" levels are
zero but the "before" are halfway into the "normal". But note that titanium is a hard metal, so DMSA would not affect it.)
