Question: Is a high value of arsenic a concern?
Yes, arsenic is a toxin. You probably don't want a lot of it, if it's just a little high it might not cause terrible damage.
I would look at methylation if I saw high arsenic, because methylation is needed to get rid of arsenic.
Oh actually I should add that methylation supplements have been shown to help arsenic detoxification in areas of the world where arsenic was a serious concern.
