Iatrogenic death - 'death by doctoring and drugs' - is the number one killer in the US anyway. If you're going to be up in arms about chelation, you might as well include all the other thousands of drugs that don't work and can kill as well.
(And guess what? Some just happen to be getting results with it. Whatever the reason - placebo or real effect - if it's done safely it should be fine, so why get so worked up about it?)
Please stop putting out this misinformation.
Even according to your hero, Dr. Mercola, iatrogenic death comes third.
That statistic should be treated entirely as per "lies, damned lies and statistics", as it encompasses many deaths which were certain to occur anyway, but for interventions that successfully delayed that death, for a while.
As to "Some just happen to be getting results with it.", you seem to be contradicting yourself. Are you saying that some experimental lethal drug use is fine, provided a fringe quack says it's good for you, and can type up a "Look! It cured me!" testimonial for their website, but that all mainstream, well documented treatments are bad, because they are?
