I'm a speech path (for 16 years) that just attended a conference with Dr. Scott Yaruss as a speaker to teach techniques for preschoolers and families. I feel so sad about the level of hopelessness I ...

Biden claimed that he stutter was ”severe” when he was younger, but I get what you're saying. I have been through intense speech therapy programs before and I still stutter. Other classmates from a sp...

There is no real scientific way to cure stuttering. But what I meant to say here was that maybe Biden’s and Harvey’s methods could HELP my stutter. From what I learned from speech therapy and by readi...

Anyone who makes fun of Biden for this does this because they either don’t like him, or they are just trying to make him less of a person. But, this is not Biden’s first rodeo. He has been engaged in ...

Yep and that’s exactly why nationalizing medicine makes sense. It would replace the business’s ultimate goal of profit and instead replace it with the goal of protecting and improving the health &...

Pharma and medical companies are businesses, so a ‘cure’ needs a good business model to dedicate resources. There are far more profitable solutions for things like erectile dysfunction, heart disease...

Not at all. Of course there is money to made, but these pharmaceutical corporations unfortunately only care about profits. There are costs associated with research and development of new drugs, and if...

You're entire premise is flawed. There's a ton of money to make on drugs for lifelong disorders and diseases. Literally all of them. Alzheimer's is one of the holy grails for pharma companies. They ...

Of course research is being done, but it’s way underfunded and that’s why it’s taking so long for us to understand it. Unfortunately with how the pharmaceutical industry works, if the funding and pote...

There's lots of things that aren't curable as of yet. At that point, it's going to be a balancing act between feasibility, resources and impact. Doesn't mean there's nothing we can do about it. It ju...

Well, quite frankly, no one is for sure what the cause is. The best explanation I heard was that some people think that its caused by signals in certain parts of the brain getting tangled with each ot...

Yezzir that's exactly my point. I still think cancer research is more important since many more ppl die. I'm merely saying there are other fields of research that aren't as important as stuttering but...

For a variety of reasons. First, it's quite possible there is no "cure." The world could wake up tomorrow, collectively think "we should cure stuttering" and throw billions of dollars at it, and sti...

Because it isn’t something to be “cured”, we stutter, and the worst thing that can happen is that we get made fun of, steamrolled, or ignored, to view this as a problem is to lead us into a creation o...

Refer to my reply to the other guy. We need public awareness on stuttering. Many people has come out saying they have anxiety, depression which raises concern for the possibility of being suicidal. I’...

Yea but at the same time if u feel like shitting in the ladies restroom one day and the men's restroom the next, you have more support than if u have a stressful, exhausting condition which ruins all ...

We also still don’t even know exactly why it occurs. We can’t cure something when we don’t know the cause....

It’s because curing stuttering wouldn’t be profitable for the pharmaceutical companies, thanks to capitalism...

Yeap I’m a stutterer and I’m majoring in biomedical science and my industry is focusing on cancer research. Cancer is an ancient disease and it has no cure until now. Also thousands of people die ever...

Because stuttering while annoying won’t kill you hence people put less time and resources into it....
