Honestly, there are no good home tests for heavy metals, and there definitely aren't any for everything else.

If you eat mostly home-grown food, you can Google around for labs that do testing near you. You should be prepared for something near a 100 dollar bill though, for heavy metal tests. If you eat a 15 homegrown tomatoes and some herbs a year, then I personally wouldn't bother testing.
