Ban chelation on autistics kids and adults - one death is too many

To:  US Congress

Please sign this petition against chelation use on autistic children and adults. There has been grave concern over the use of this highly controversial treatment that is supposed to remove 'heavy metals' from the body.
Numerous cases have been seen of harm done to children from quacks using this, now a death has occured of a 5 year old boy.
News article extract - "A 5-year-old autistic boy died Tuesday in a Butler County doctor's office while undergoing an increasingly popular though controversial medical treatment touted by some as a cure for the lifelong neurological and developmental disorder.
Abubakar Tariq Nadama died while receiving chelation therapy, an intravenous injection of a synthetic amino acid that latches onto heavy metals and is then passed in the urine."

No more children should have to die, one is too many.

Thank you,
Amy Nelson of Aspies for Freedom

Sincerely,
