son's hair test shows high mercury. Chelation scares me. Help

Hello everyone, I am new to this list. I recognized some names from another board. Happy to join here! My son Björn is 6.4 and we live in Sweden. I had him on a GFCF diet for 9 months with no great improvement. I decided to test him at DDI for metal toxicity to see if chelation could be an issue for him. This is what we got back:
Total Toxic Representation: 99 th percentile
Mercury 0.84 <0.4
Lead 4.0 <1.0
Aluminium 8.8 <8.0
Antimony 0.099 <0.066
Arsenic 0.12 <0.08
Nickel 0.42 <0.4
Tin 0.38 <0.3

How much poisened is he? Anyone had mecury on that level? Is Björn a good candidate for chelation? Whe shall we start? is it dangerous?
Thjank you so much for your answers.
