> if you take a group of people that have the exact same problem, and is caused the exact same way, then that one solution is going to "cure" their stuttering. This is where you lose me. You're oversimplifying people into machines. They aren't the same. We're not simple computers. We're highly complex computers. Nor is it a one way process when we speak. It's not just output. We're also listening to what we say. In my case, that was was part of the fluency issue. Using the DAF, I was unable to hear what I was saying until I was past what I had spoke, avoiding the blocks and proving that I could be fluent. >Can a website (the "mental") directly impact a RAM stick? No. **YES!** When the browser loads the web page, everything is loaded into RAM. Those ones and zeroes exist in a physical state. I think the computer analogy is awful. As is the chess analogy. It's so much more complex than chess pieces on a board or bits stored in memory addresses. And please keep Rule 3 in mind. > *Posts promoting the treatment must include research or evidence based practice. No cures.* *There is no known cure for stuttering that works 100% for everyone. Refrain from using the word CURE in posts.* I achieved fluency through speech therapy with a speech pathologist and his team. That was about 20+ years ago. I went from being a severe stutterer (every sentence, all the time) to being mostly fluent (I might experience a block when I'm mentally exhausted.) Fluency for me is talking without a stutter. No blocks. Coworkers don't know I ever stuttered. I've worked with people for six months or more before they found out I had a stutter (80 hour weeks during our busy season is usually when my stutter my occur at work.) Do I have the ability to speak fast? Not like an auctioneer, but I speak at a normal pace. I actually make a point of not speaking quickly. I provide training to classes of employees, perform coaching, and sit in meetings with my peers. Effective communication requires an appropriate rate of speech. In my case, my rate of speech was never a trigger for a stuttering block. I noticed that you speak rapidly and without much range of intonation in your youtube. Was it your intent to speak fast in the video? I had to work to regain my range of intonation after learning fluency. That was one of the last things I tackled when I had achieved fluency.
