do you use driclor every night, if so this is probably why its not as effective as it was. You could give Odaban a try, its a spray and I found this to be a better product than A forte which I also have (I think its just like driclor). You could also try doing the ionto treatments for longer periods of time and more often, that might help. I don't know if hydrosal gel is better than driclor, i think it goes deeper into the skin as its a gel that you rub in, the only to now is try it i guess. good luck with the exam

The active ingredience in whatever topical remedy is Aluminum Chloride. Study the declaration of whatever product you have available (sorry I´m European and I have no experience with the brands you mention) and figure out which product has more Aluminum Chloride = This is the best product :D Isn´t it simple ? I found that the cheapest no-name brands are as effective and a lot cheaper than the high profiled brands. Good Luck.

I´m puzzled why you don´t make the best of your ionto device though?? Any good excuse?

Well now I'm planning to stop using Driclor (stuff with aluminium chloride in it) for at least a week and start up with Deydral (even though that's the stuff for feet). I have a feeling that it might be stronger since the skin on your feet is a lot tougher.

I've also not done ionto for 2 days and ALL my sweating has come back pretty much. :( (palmer)

I don't know what to do anymore.
I can't decide whether to go along with the instructions in the idrostar booklet (as far as regularity of treatments is concerned), or whether I should do ionto every day. :(
I feel like I've been through every possible combination of how long and how often to do ionto and how often to use anti-perspirant on my hands. :(

I really need someone to help me because I'm going through this hell of a condition on my own (as most of you are aswell most likely).

I'd appreciate if anyone could give me an idea of how often to do the treatments because I feel like I've achieved nothing. And it also doesn't feel right that I have to do ionto every day to keep my hands relatively dry.
Being only 16 years old shows that I really don't need this kind of shit in my life yet.

Thanks.

Since you bought the Idrostar, why not try to make it work? I used my Idromed 4 every day for 10 consequtive days untill I was dry, and I was fine. I can´t see there could be any risks for you not following the manual. Did you check your water? Do you know if it´s suited for iontophoresis? Tell me which city you´re from, and I can look it up on the net most likely.

Hyper-Hydro, you've so big on the Iontophoresis treatments. Don't you find it to be a bulky solution? If someone tells me that Drysol/Driclor/Certain Dri or any other clinical deodorant works, I always recommend that over Iontophoresis treatments?

Are you not a big advocate of Aluminum Chloride treatments because of its rumored link to alzheimer's disease? I know that may sound ridiculous, but there's been so much speculation about this for the past 2 years from the press.

Or is there another reason you prefer Iontophoresis?

Well I've stopped using Driclor since Monday, and next Monday I'm gonna try Dehydral cream - $30 all the way from Canada. :(
Plus I'm gonna start ionto again after skipping treatments for only 3 days. :( :( :(
I can't believe I didn't do it for ONLY 3 days and I got full blown sweating starting up again. :(

Did you bother checking out your water quality?

Yes.

Why?

What? please rephrase, I didn´t get that??

woofytalk said:

Yes that does sound very ridiculous. What makes you think I´m a big advocate of aluminum chlorhydrate treatments? I hate the shit, but it helps if you have nothing else. Don´t waste our time with speculations and rumours. If there´s something about it, we should discuss it . Bring it up with relevant evidence.

It works! I can choose when my hands and feet will be dry. Why do you need another reason?

Woofy, now that we´re talking. Can you give me the latin names, or trivial names for the 2 herbs Mike Ramsey is talking about, or do you want me to send you $ 34,95 ? :p

haha. hey. I wasn't throwing stones big guy. :roll:

from some of your posts it sounded like you had a preference for Ionto. That's all.

As far as the alzheimer's rumored link to aluminum chloride, there was a lot of talk in the past few years that it may be a concern. After hearing that, it made me question my drysol regimen a bit more. I didn't know if other people took that rumor more seriously.

I was actually curious if you had relevant evidence regarding the issue. You seem to be knowledgable through and through.

As far as Mike Ramsey, I'm not trying to peddle wares. I made that book part of my daily regimen and it's mitigated a lot of the wetness. I put it on my site because I've enjoyed the benefits.

I wasn't trying to get you to bark bud. I respect your opinion and just wanted to hear your thoughts.

Kind Regards.

No worries, maybe it´s because English is not my native language, and I don´t get the twist.

I do. It´s a lesser of evils the way I see it. I bought the device, and since it actually works very effectively on me (although it´s time consuming), I find it beats buying expensive plastic surgery, poisonous chemicals, “homoeopathic” potentially harmful drugs, powders, books and botox. Agree?

If people would TRULY get off this hook of excessive sweating, I could easily forgive you if you did.

alzheimer's, there was a lot of talk in the past

Please be specific about this talk in the past. (e.g. paste links to critical articles or atleast give us a resume)

But Woofy. Speaking about Alzheimer´s…I replied to every question you put to me, while you forgot answering mine.

Topical Treatments

My HH problem is cranial/facial, but you asked for alternative topical treatments.

I first used Secure wipes--they're glycopyrrolate. They helped on my face, but of course I couldn't really "wipe" my scalp, so I started taking oral meds--Avert.

I'm thinking the wipes should help with palmar HH--or at least be a good supplement to other treatment.
