You may have what is called Hyperhidrosis. This is a condition involving excessive sweating of the hands, face, underarms, and feet. Hyperhidrosis is very common, occurring up to 1% of the population. The control is by the sympathetic nervous system. In the case of Hyperhidrosis, the sympathetic nerves are unpredictable and completely uncontrollable.


In most cases, medical treatment only alleviates symptoms generated by mild forms of hyperhidrosis. Some of the treatments include, astringents, talc/starch, sedatives, antihistamines, anticholinergics and beta blockers. More aggressive therapies include: liposuction, botulinum toxin and iontophoresis. They all have been applied ranging degrees of success. However affected patients with severe forms of hyperhidrosis require to Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy cure their symptoms.

Reply:Hyperhidrosis can be caused by undiagnosed food intolerances or heavy metal poisoning. The two are not unrelated.





I had severe hyperhidrosis along with arhhythmia, migraines and muscle twitching. I went through all the regular treatments including robinul, klonopin, drysol, and finally ETS surgery. After 2-3 years the hyperhidrosis and Raynaud's syndrome began to return.





My symptoms were caused by mercury toxicity from old fillings, which led to wheat and dairy intolerance (gluten and casein). After eliminating grains and dairy from my diet, the symptoms have gone away. I had all fillings replaced with composite material, and have been taking supplements for B vitamins, minerals (magnesium, zinc, etc.) and probiotics.





If you search, there are several sources which mention hyperhidrosis as a symptom of mercury poisoning. This can be related to wheat and dairy intolerance because mercury inhibits DPP-IV, the main enzyme needed to digest these foods.





Heavy metals don't show up on regular tests until it is provoked out of the body with a chelating agent. I wasted money on one blood test before finding another doctor who did a urine test properly.
