Thankyou so much for your reply! im happy to say today im about 97% sweat free on my hands, just a wee little bit on the very tips of my fingers, at work I was so happy everyone thought I was on drugs lol!
thanks for your help, I was unsure how many treatment you were supposed to do after achieving dryness to 'top it up' but now I know! how is it going with you? I cant wait to go out and have some fun with my mates not worrying about my HH, I feel like I have a new lease of life!!
I've actually gotten so accustomed to having dry hands that I didn't bother to use iontophoresis for more then 20 days which made my HH creep back.
Now I'm doing the treatment from the start once again and this time I've decided to keep doing the maintenance treatments.
By the way, if you feel a shock when you place your palms in water, try putting one palm in one container and after you've done that just put one finger of another hand in the other container and work your way in it this way.

So glad youve found a way which works for you today felt amazing, I really hope this lasts..
lol, thats the only problem with home-built machines, unless you were to attatch some sort of dimmer switch there is no way of gradually turning up the current slowly...the first time I did it I got a slight shock putting my hands in and again when the batteries were disconnected (my bf helped me) - it wasnt that painful tho,I found that putting both hands in at the same time gives me no shock, if I put them in one at a time it gives me a shock! I checked my batteries and theyre still packing out the same voltage so it isnt as if theyre running out..im definately getting used to it now tho, and im so happy I save myself all that money too!! the batteries are £3 each (x4) and then I just had to buy the wires and clips and two trays..Ive saved hundreds of pounds!
Hey, PlaceboEffect. I have an iontophoresis machine at home and have used it for around two months with varying results. My left hand is a LOT drier than my right, but the fingertips on both hands still sweat pretty badly.
I've never done more than five treatments consecutively. I also tried adding some baking soda- the current hurt alot more but failed to improve the results. Any suggestions to help me get drier? Thanks in advance.
Hey, a few questions for those who have been successful:
1. What containers did you use?
2. Would using a higher voltage be faster? Pain's not a big issue for me.
3. Is it better doing it at night or in the morning?
4. Any side effects? Mainly out of curiosity.
5. Any have information on how it really works? I have a vague idea but I'm quite interested now.
Cheers, I'll post when I've done it - will probably buy equipment this weekend.

I don't know how exactly are you using it but here are the possible causes:
1. If your fingertips are always touching the pans this might be the cause for it. Instead let them float.
2. Fingertips are the last to get dry. To solve this we do more sessions even when 99% of our palms are dry. For example: if your hands got dry after the 9th session you might need 3 or 4 additional sessions to get completely dry.
3. There are too big intervals between sessions. Try doing them every day until you achieve the desired dryness. However if you won't achieve complete dryness in 12-14 days you might want to use higher voltage and adding a bit of salt in the water.
4. If you aren't reversing current after 10-15 minutes of treatment this might be a problem. Always reverse the current to get the same dryness on both hands.
5. If you are using plastic pans try replacing them with aluminium ones. I myself use shallow plates and I put alu foil over them. I don't know if this is completely safe since some people suggested that there might be other materials in alu foils so use it on your own judgement. Shanon recommends stainless steel plates in his vid. Give it a look.
6. Try different sources: for some two 9V batteries do the work, while they won't produce any result for others who need three 6V batteries. It seems counter intuitive that the same voltages would produce different results but this is how it works because our body pulls different amperages with each of them.

1. People who had most success used metal containers. Stainless steel is preferred IMO.
2. Yes, it seems that higher voltage produces quicker results. I wouldn't advise going over 28V though.
3. It doesn't matter. Some people do it once at morning and once before going to sleep. Personally I do it once a day whenever I find free time.
4. Yes, you might notice that your hands sweat a lot more during day 3,4 and 5 of the treatment. Aside from that you might need using some kind of hand moistening cremes because your hands will be really dry after successful treatment.
5. As far as I know noone really seems to have idea about how it works but there are some interesting hypotheses.
And please post, I'm really interested how soon will you see results.

I'm probably gonna use aluminium pie pans with 18V, fingers crosssed it'll only take a week to see results. I'll definitely post results then.
Thanks for the info PlaceboEffect. I'll try out doing more treatments and see how that works. Just one question- are you dry (fingertips as well) when the weather is really hot and humid? I find that I'm bone dry in cool weather but when it passes 30 degrees the sweating just comes roaring back.
Shakinghands 18V should be enough if your water is "hard" enough. One way of knowing if the water isn't soft is if you'll feel a slight shock when you'll put your palms in the water. Also, you should feel a tingling feeling if the amperage your body is pulling out is high enough. If you'll experience these things then you will know that the conditions are right for the treatment to work.

My palms are completely 100% dry in all situations. As a matter of fact I'm so dry that I feel how other peoples hands start sweating a bit when the temperature rises to around 35 degrees. It's really funny knowing that you are dry while people you've always been concerned if they'll notice your HH have wet hands.

Like how when people get ETS they'll start sweating on their abdomen or legs to make up for lack of sweating on their hands and feet.
I definitely think the tradeoff would be worth it since it seems more normal to sweat in those areas than excessively on the hands and feet.
Think it would be a good way to know what kind of compensatory or gustatory sweating one would get if they really had to go through with ETS and wanted to know what kind of adverse side effects they'd get after the ETS.
