So first you state that there's no statistically significant evidence. I provided you with evidence, now you're extending the goal post. Are you aware of the studies I'm even talking about? I can provide them for you. I'm not saying that the evidence is conclusive, I'm saying that there's evidence that there are options. For some they have been life changing. All drugs cause serious side effects if used inappropriately. L-dopa is no exception. If you were up to date on the literature, you would know that the evidence states that fluency enhancing treatments are not effective in treating stuttering. This is what the research states. You're not understanding the message that I'm providing. The message is that the status quo is unsustainable. People are suffering. Have a read of this sub-reddit, even your own posts. Something has to change. The change is in treating the disorder like it's a neurological disorder, because that's what it is. I can provide you with evidence demonstrating that it is. Could you imagine if Parkinson's Disease was treated by a physiotherapist just because its a movement disorder? That would be absurd. We should expect the same level of care / treatment. I'm not here to argue. I'm advocating for a change in the status quo because some would rather take our money than truly provide benefit for us, our children and our future children. We deserve better.
