Right, but “learning to speak without stuttering” is not the goal…or shouldn’t be. For most people who stutter (especially if they are well into their late teen to adult years) will always have to dea...

A book I read explains blocking in great detail and is the only explanation that I have ever felt relevant (after 30 years of stuttering). It is a learned defense behavior against stuttering repeats- ...

Hi. My son also has speech apraxia (motor processing issues with speech). This displayed itself before the stuttering. I don't recall babbling delay, but he didn't say his first words until after ...

Hey. Sorry for taking so long. Been very busy. I mean I stutter while moving my fingers on the guitar. Playing the actual instrument. My fingers get stuck and I can´t play the next note. It´s the sam...

Bell’s palsy

Bell’s palsy I’ve had a mild stutter my whole life. And now I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. Half my face is paralyzed making it even harder to speak without a stutter. I’m wondering if anyone else ...

You are very close to understanding of the way how human tongue works naturally. In reality, it NEVER produces single consonant sounds. It falls down in our mouth and produces one speech “melody”, whi...

\> What I continue to see with medications that addressed dopamine levels is that they tend to have waning efficacy. What is this based on? It's more complicated than just dopamine levels, there a...

I'm not going to discount the fact that stuttering has neurophysiological roots. I'd be wrong. And while medication may certainly address neurophysiological aspects of the problem, I'm of the opinion...

I understand you are trying to help but it is genuinely a neurophysiological problem. For some the right pill has fixed their problems. For others it will most likely take a different pill....

Recently (last month) learnt mine is neurological, and believing it was curable fucked me over mentally for 7+ years of trying but no matter how much I tried it never went away. Am 23 and gave up on l...

Yes, you're right. The blood flow to Wernike’s region is reduced in the brains of stutterers. I wish I had the reference at hand, but Google ‘Wernike’s region/stutter. Good luck, Sue...

I'm not gonna bother. Look up "Pharmacological treatment of stuttering" and there is an article that sums up most of my points. Regarding FDA funding - it costs $100s of millions to get FDA approval...

Beacuse masturbation pumps more dopamine in our brain than any drug and too much dopamine acitvity in your brain can stifle the activity of some brain regions that are linked to stuttering...

Not shure but i read that there are quite a few different types of stuttering, some are neurological. Regardles i agree with you that this post is basically arrogant, if not bordering on snake oil sal...

It's just one study + AFAIK, brain is plastic. Stuttering has huge effects on one's life's every aspect, so it could result in some anomalies....

Psychology definately has an affect but they've measured brain activity and blood flow in the brain to show that people who stutter have differences to people who don't....
