Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 ---That could be. My son had not been chelated but for some reason seeked batteries. Now that he is on a lot of zinc he is not doing it. EDTA does pull other metals, so maybe his zinc is too low. He may need more minerals during EDTA.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 What is a NoCad? A battery with no Nickle/Cadmium? Anyone know what standard Duracell or Energizer batteries are? Blech!

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm pretty sure that " regular " non-rechargeable batteries contain mercury unless they specifically say " mercury-free. http://www.epa.state.oh.us/pic/facts/hhwbatt.html S S _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Sorry my post should have said NiCad's which are nickel/cadmium. Most all newer batteries are NiCad's or lithium. I have on ocassion found ones with mercury in my kids toys which came from China. > > > > > > Saw the strangest thing. Today I took the original batteries out > of a > > > child's toy.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Duracell website says they stopped making batteries containing mercury in 1993. http://www.duracell.com/care_disposal/disposal.asp S S _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
