No it has nothing to do with a test, as you never know if and when it will start to work, that is different for everyone.
The slow build up is essential in order to keep an eye on the values of your lymphocytes and to learn your body to get used to the DMF slowly. That is also different with people.
Basically it is like below scheme. This is the same scheme as with Psorinovo. Bill is using a totally different scheme, but you can later on experiment with that. The height in the scheme represents the dosage.

There are three phases that all should take about as long in time, the building up phase continues until you see or feel that something is changing in your Psoriasis. From that moment you enter the plateau phase, you don’t up the dose anymore but just consolidate and the Psoriasis has the chance to go away. After this phase, which is about as long as the build up phase, you start lowering the dose again. You continue lowering until you feel the Psoriasis coming back again and then you up one dose again. That should be the dose you can continue on.
If you stabilise then you can later on go intermittent, that means that you give your body a rest in the weekends. This is good for your lymphocytes and it prevents the building up of antibodies in your body so the DMF stays working.
Bill for instance is on a totally intermittent scenario, but he uses the pure DMF. Fumaderm is a combination preparate with other stuff in it.
It can be that your derm has a slightly different view, but it will finally come down to something like this. You can always discuss.
