Radioactive not part of this article
editThe section below was removed by me. Radioactivity is the basis of the toxicity of radioactive elements, it seems
"Most often the definition of toxic metals includes at least thallium, cadmium, manganese, lead, mercury and the radioactive metals.[1] Metalloids (arsenic, polonium) may be included in the definition. Radioactive metals have both radiological toxicity and chemical toxicity." --Smokefoot (talk) 17:17, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Why is there a template banner suggesting that someone should update the section on chelation therapy for conditions other than heavy metal poisoning?
editThis banner suggesting the section requires updating was added in May 2024, and I do not understand why. I expanded the section on its unsupported use as a treatment for autism, but none of the information required for that has come out since May 2024. As far as I can tell, no evidence has emerged supporting chelation therapy for any purpose other than heavy metal poisoning supported by a toxidrome and laboratory testing. I think this banner can be removed. Fieldsliefallow (talk) 17:22, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
