How I cured my hyperhydrosis FOR FREE

I remember going to the dermatologist for the first time and being told the harsh truth: botox costs thousands of dollars.. iontophoresis isn't an option here because they've stopped doing it... surgery can have severe side effects etc etc

My sweaty palms were something that followed me everywhere.. Man was my prom embarrassing... All those dancing lesions where I had to hold this poor girls hands while my palms were ridiculously wet.

Obviously this had a big impact on my social life.. Going out and avoiding contact with other people and trying to develop my own secret handshakes with them so that I wouldn't have to touch their dry palms.

Eh, how much emotional pain because of wet palms...

It's silly if you think about it. I mean, really think about it.
Think about how silly it is to be concerned about something so trivial...

But then I found a special video on youtube.

At first I was sceptical and I waited for people to test this concept... But in time I decided to buy two 9V batteries just like this one:

I took two big plates and put alu foil in them.. Poured a lot of water in there and connected it with two batteries.

The first time I put my hands in it my palms went really red after the treatment. I've sent a message to Shanon who put that video on the internet and discussed a few things with him and learned that it's normal to have red hands after the treatment..

So it's all good...

I haven't noticed any results in the first two days but the third day.. My god, the third day was actually fun and weird at the same time. My palms started insanely sweating! Sweat was literally pouring from them. I started thinking that I should just drop the treatment.

But I sticked with it. And by day 5 I noticed something incredible. A small part of my right palm was completely dry. I inspected it and tried to make it sweat but I just couldn't do it! It was 100% dry. How is this possible?? I felt this beautiful feeling and realized that Shanons design really works. It really works...

The next day something even more amazing happened... My hands went completely dry. For the first time in my life my hands were normal. I tried everything but I just couldn't get any part of my palms to sweat.

How great it is to be normal.

All those years of pain and frustration.. All those moments of total embarrassment became irrelevant now. If only I knew it was so simple.

The next day I went out to this party and I could hold hands with girls. I could dance and completely enjoy myself. I could be careless. How much fun I had that night!
And to think that other people can enjoy themselves like that each and every day of their life...

I can feel how something changed in me.

And I still can't understand how could it be so simple...

Because really... Who would have thought that two batteries and a bit of water can change your life?

Thats awesome it worked for you! Unfortunately it doesn't work for everyone. Mad

I'm willing to bet that it works for everyone if the conditions are right.

See there are many many variables with this treatment:

1.) The batteries.. Two different 9V batteries might provide different amperages... One might be enough, while the other might be too low
2.) For someone 18V will be enough, for someone else 27V.. and for some 12V will be enough
3.) The hardness of water. If the water is not hard enough the treatment won't be efficient. In case of "soft" water add salt or baking soda
4.) The length of the treatment.. some will need 10minute treatments, some 20..
5.) The usage of the right containers. Some people use plastic containers and I'd speculate that this might be a reason why they aren't seeing results.
6.) Persistence, some people have really low tolerance for pain and will stop after 6 or 7 treatments while the treatment could be effective after 10 or a bit more...
7.) The positioning of hands - are they freely floating or are they touching the surface..
8.) Frequentness... Are you doing it once every day? Once every week?
9.) Materials...
and the list could go on and on.

One has to experiment...

How is this different from iontophoresis? Or are you saying that you were cured permanently?

This is not different from iontophoresis.

This is iontophoresis. But it's free...

Most of us who are looking to try iontophoresis would probably never have thought to try it at home, and when you think about it the whole concept is quite 'low tech'. It does seem worthwhile to try and "DIY" before or instead of purchasing a significantly more expensive device.
PlaceboEffect, thanks for sharing this useful and valuable information with us all!

I too have decided to go with the 'DIY' approach before shelling out for a machine, I saw shannon's youtube video about 2 weeks ago and thought id give it a go...im using 3x6v batteries, (im only using 3 of them atm to see how that goes, I might start using 4 next time) conneced with wires and clips to two big pie dishes exactly like shannon does in the youtube vid,
now, I dont know whether i'd say I was completely 'cured' or anything but i'd say my sweating has reduced by over half...my left palm-completely dry, my right palm-some little wet patches, my fingers on both hands are still sweating but its definately alot less than it was...

I had 7 treatments at hospital spread over a month, it had a strict protocol as I had to go on certain days, then I made my home machine the next month and did 7 treatments over 7 days (1 a day)...im wondering if anyone has some advice on how many treatments I should do a week/month...or maybe I should use all 4x6v batteries? I guess its all about experimenting, im pretty happy with the results I have so far, its so much better than it was...but still if people are getting better results any advice on how theyre doing it would be much appreciated! Very Happy

I've seen that most people need 10 sessions (plus, minus two) in a row to completely get rid of it.

I'd suggest you keep doing it until it completely disappears. If after 12 days in a row it's still present, I'd amp the voltage (up to 24V) and if it persisted even after that I'd start adding a bit of salt in water.

Also, I speculate that the treatment is more efficient if your palms aren't touching the pans but are instead floating.

After you'll achieve 100% dryness you have to keep doing it approx. once every two weeks.

Good luck
