Cilantro, coriander and coconut oil all move metals. I see no reason they couldn't have had a known means to remove metal stains from teeth well before we record the officially recognized modern discovery of chelation therapy.

I'm not positioning myself as smarter than any experts. I'm positioning myself as critical of the flaws in the article.
You seem to have missed the part where I stated bluntly I'm not pretending to have a better theory. I'm only pointing out that "It was gold" is supposition, not fact.
I'm hardly the only person here making that point. I don't know why it's getting so much push back. The article itself makes it clear they don't actually know, but then wants to talk as if the conclusion is certain. It's absolutely not.
