I do give pep talks because this very debilitating condition requires someone to offer hope. Nothing has significantly changed in SLP for many years. It's inevitable that new SLP techniques will emerg...

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...

Perhaps the caveat is *yet". I'm open to there being a cure but my opinion is not based on my feelings, it is the current reality. there is no proven, repeatable, quantifiable treatment that cures stu...

I see what you are saying, but how can you so confidently state that “there is no cure”. The is just purely logically incorrect statement. You can not possible know that and no expert/researcher ever ...

Ok, I don't even want respect from people like you. Yes, I will always dismiss experts when they just guessing. The only arrogant person here is you. I spend my time trying to help some people where...

Yeah for sure. I'm no expert either but I've read about psychogenic stutters, they are rare and usually result from childhood trauma but aren't treated by trying to cure the stutter. It usually evolve...

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...

Show respect? I'm not showing any respect for anyone who dismisses "experts" (really showing your hand there" as you say. And has nothing but a bunch of anecdotes and personal opinions. I serously d...

I have never said, "just get over it and don't do it any more". I know how hard it is to overcome stuttering. I lived with this pain for so many years. Show some respect cos I am trying to help peopl...

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....

>I think every person with a stutter knows its psychological Most upvoted comment of this thread says that it's neurological. I would say atleast half of the people who stutter say that it's not p...

Let's try. 1. As I've already stated, there are no medications brought to market for stuttering. 2. Medications that have been through more extensive trials, such as Ecopipam, have been withdrawn fr...

First of all. That is a load of shit and belittles the struggles millions of people face. The arrogance and ignorance of this post is astounding. Stuttering is a neurological condition proven by ma...

He’s definitely on the right track. His research will open the door to further understanding of stuttering. It’s a good thing. There is new hope. So far, only speech therapy has been the available tre...

I agree 100%. Stuttering sucks, but unless your career path is heavily speech-oriented, having a stutter won't impact job prospects in any significant way. I'm a PhD student and one of my professors s...

How is it an "inherently flawed concept"? Because of a hunch? There is evidence showing that it does work and that it is efficacious, just because an RCT has not been conducted does not mean that you...

It’s frustrating but just enjoy who you are bro. You’re young, know your areas of strength and weakness. I started stuttering at age 6. I used to think stuttering was all my fault (my parents and fa...
