Stop trying to find the magical cure and creating false hope for PWS who will take this as face value and eventually will see its futility; haven't we suffered enough? I survived suicide and 30 years of constant bashing, bullying and torment. I spent 20 years in speech therapy and added regular therapy with hypnosis to help manage my stutter. I have embraced my stutter, I learned to love myself and focus on living and not my stutter.
