Great website packed full of information !!

Lots of many solutions but after doing lots of research im hoping ive made the right choice with the idromed 4 !

really excited to get going with it now and hopefully fingers crossed no more sweaty hands !!!!


I use the Idromed 4 GS and have been using it since november and find it very good. I did 13 initial treatments everyday on 10mA and now use it once a week. I hope you get results.

Hi, I'm a palmo-plantarHH sufferer from Vietnam. I'm about to buy an Idrostar for iontophoresis. Is this a good machine? I read that the treatment should be carried out on Day 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 15, 22 of the first month, did anyone try this protocol? How did it work?

By the way, this is a really GREAT thread!

I plan to buy my Idrostar from the transpiration.biz website. I think this is a website of the i2m-labs in France. Does anyone know whether this a trustworthy source? Thanks.

I've never actually seen that site before, but yes that must be their official site. You shouldn't have any problems.

The protocol is ok, but many of use tend to do treatments more frequently. You have to experiment what works.

The protocol did NOT work for me. I gave up after the sixth session and started doing treatments every other day with much better results. Still, you should give the protocol a shot- they must have their reasons for recommending it; but dont give up just because the schedule doesnt work.

Thanks for the replies.

I have been browsing other threads, and if I understand correctly, if the day 1, 2, 4... regime doesn't work, I should stop one or two weeks before trying another protocol, e.g. every other day?

I'm still waiting for my machine. Hopefully iontophoresis will work for me though.

Id also like to know if thats a good idea, as I had a month's worth of treatment at the hospital, following strict protocol, it didnt do anything, then the next month I built my Ion. machine and did 1 treatment a day for 7 days and now im almost completely dry apart from the very tips of my fingers..the nurse said I had to wait 2 months untill I could resume treatment at the hospital though which has confused me a bit!?!
its working for now which is the main thing Very Happy

Im so happy I found this site and kudos to you Pinker for this thread (which I have only just had the time to read)...its packed with ideas and I never realised there were so many options! im persuing the iontophoresis for now, you say you use Driclor on the tips of your fingers? would I be able to get that from the pharmacy or do I need pescription? sounds like its just what I need to get those pesky fingers dry! Very Happy

You can order driclor (20% aluminium chloride) on prescription, but to warn you, you'll become immune to it over time. It doesn't work on my hands at all any more.

As for treatment protocols, my advice is just to do it whenever you think is necessary.

Very Happy
