Have you measured the arsenic levels in your blood?
If you don't have high enough levels, perhaps you are not eating enough
chicken. If the levels are higher than optimal, there are standard methods
for fixing that. But even heavy metals gradually leave your body over time.
We are, as the original article said, talking about levels that are so low that
they have no medical effects on humans, but apparently have beneficial
effect on chickens. You may have to eat your weight in chickens to get the
same benefits.

does arsenic undergo biologic accumulation like I thought mercury
does? if so, this tends to accumulate more in species toward the top
of the food chain (e.g. humans) at higher and therefore more dangerous
concentrations.
