Hi, I always believe we should share good things. I suffered HH for so many years, and since now I am able to control it, I really hope others with similar problem can also benefit.

After working on this home-made machine, I just want to tell people out here that it works! Of course if such device is availabe in your country and you can afford it, please buy one.

Some key points when you made your own device you got to take note.

Do not go beyond 30 mA or 0.03 ampheres. Therefore, it is safe to try out from 9 to 24 volts. That is, start with 9 and if you think you can take a higher current, move to the next level which is 12 volt.

It is not the voltage that kills, but more the current. Most household breakers are protected by 0.03 amperes. To be real safe, use rechargeable batteries.

You should also reverse the polarities every 15 mins. The main reason is, your body will act like a capacitor. after a while, the current flow will be restricted. The polarity change will ensure your body discharge the stored voltage and allow current to flow through again.

Hope the above information helps.

I must say i went beyond 30mA .. i used 300mA /18 V output and it worked. I wonder what such high current does to the body..?? I did iontophoresis for 2 weeks 40 minutes (20 palms, 20 feet) daily sessions.. and it worked but I was kind of worried because of mA, tap water, and steel going in my body. Now after almost a year of that 2 week treatment I have tinnitus..which I noticed recently but I think i had before.. what i'm not sure is if it was caused by the treatment maybe? :/ not sure..

Now i'm going to start treatment again but this time i'm getting Mastech HY3003DX power supply which allows 18V /25mA and lower with two 9 inch aluminium pie pans (Kitchen Supply Aluminum Pie Pan 9-inch).

i regret ever trying it with the 18V/300mA now which was recommended by someone back then.
