In This Corner, Chuck the Former Excessive Sweater

Hi, my name is Chuck and I have a confession. I used to be a sweater - a really heavy sweater. How excessive was my excessive sweating? Let me tell you this: it was so bad I never left the house without bringing along a spare shirt or two.

Needless to say, my excessive sweating made me feel like an utter wretch, an absolute failure, a worthless human being, the biggest loser of them all.

My Problem
Most guys sweat after they lift a few weights. I start sweating long before I hit the gym. I couldn't understand my excessive sweating. I don't spend all day in the sun. As a matter of fact, I have the lifestyle of a bat. I'm a writer. I spend most of my time at home, growing bonsai because it's relaxing and talking to the plants (because they don't talk back). But even if my lifestyle is the closest that anyone could come to being a hermit, excessive sweating still got in the way. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to stop keyboarding so I could wipe the grease off the keyboard. I can't remember a time, too, when I haven't had to come up with alibis for the waterworks, from "I just did four laps on the pool" to "I took the stairs. I can't believe I'm so out of shape!"

Hello, Old Quack
The most logical thing for me to have done was see a doctor, right? Right. But remember, I'm both male and a writer. It seemed almost blasphemous to admit I need help. Heck, I hate having to ask for directions; how do you think I'd feel about having to ask a doctor, "What's wrong with me?"

So, I chucked common sense out of the window and got creative with remedies for excessive sweating. I went to an old herbalist in Chinatown who told me to use a product called ***** Wei ***. This product cost an arm and a leg but I was desperate. I was also half-relieved - better expensive than strange! I was actually expecting the herbalist to prescribe a goulash of frog legs, bat wings, and mud! I did what the herbalist said and tried that product with the name I can only pronounce if I whistle. Did it work? No, and worse, it made my gums swell!

I was almost tempted to go back to that herbalist and ask for my money back. Then again, Chinatown is Chinatown and I've heard the Chinese are related to a quarter of the population in the U.S. Losing money over quack remedy seems a better alternative to having to fight off an angry mob of little people who most likely know kung fu!

Meeting Mike - Figuratively
Fortunately, my story has a happy ending. Today, I'm finally over excessive sweating - and I mean that in the literal sense. No more damp shirts for me, no more pit stains, no more having to experiment with clinical strength anti-perspirant. My excessive sweating is a thing of the past, I say that now with relief, and it's all thanks to Mike Ramsey.

Mike who? Okay, let's backtrack a bit. I know I told you about that herbalist I visited but no, that's not Mike Ramsey. That old bloke's name is Kungshufang leprechaun --- or at least that's what it sounded like when he was introduced to me.

But I digress. Mike Ramsey is a writer like me. I haven't met him but I sure would like to so I can personally thank him for helping me overcome excessive sweating. You see, I downloaded Mike's Stop Sweating and Start Living ebook after I read a review online. I got curious about the system and wanted to try it for myself.

So Long, Sweaty Pits!
Mike's remedy for excessive sweating is simple and quick to implement. He discovered it years ago and has been using it for some 12 years now. Naturally, I was skeptical about his remedy and thought twice before buying the ebook. However, when I read that it comes with an 8-week money-back guarantee, that sealed the deal for me. I bought his book, downloaded my copy, and tried Mike's techniques.

It's been a year now since I tried Mike's techniques. I haven't had a problem with excessive sweating. Yes, I still sweat some but no more than the next guy does. What I like best about Mike's techniques is that it really stopped my excessive sweating and on top of that, it takes me no more than 30 seconds a day!

I just had to mention that, didn't I? Hey, I'm a guy. I'll sign up for anything that takes less than a minute.
