Could Passing Of 12V Current Through Hand And Arm Joints Increase The Likelihood Of Arthritis?

Dear Sir/Madam.



I suffer from hyrperhydrosis of the hands and feet. After using antiperspirants to no avail I came across Iontophoresis. Following the instructions from a youtube video I constructed my own drionic machine from a 12 Volt battery charger. I have noticed some improvements however I am a little concerned about possible side effects. Could passing 12 V's through your hand and arm joints increase the liklihood of arthritis? Also could it have any effect on the brain. Thankyou kindly for you time.

no relation to arthritis so the answer is s straight no
well effect to the brain no again
but heres the the thing i suggest you but a commercial TENSmachine
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator since its a lot safer than that.
so you see the worry is not the side effect of your machine to arthritis or to your brain but the electrical safety of the machine itself.
Merry Christmas in advance my friend :)
