Tell us the truth in advertisements for stammering/stuttering treatments

Please see http://www.stammering.org/claims.html for updates on this developing story.

Stammering/stuttering is a symptom of a condition in which the brain's neural circuits for speech have not wired normally. In February, 2010, researchers announced that three genes had been identified as a source of stammering/stuttering.

If you need help or advice with your speech, three leading sources of information for people who stammer/stutter are http://www.stammering.org , http://www.stutteringhomepage.com and http://www.stutteringhelp.org .

Hello, We worked on our three websites and changed or deleted a total

of 59 words and phrases that we thought were inappropriate. Thank you for

helping us realize our mistakes. Chris StutterFree. Inc.

I won't say thanks, slippocket1 , but I will say I'm glad you've done that. I'll check the sites out later. Many more stutterers are now aware of the fact that there is no universal cure, but that things can be done to improve one's speech and, often more importantly, one's attitude to one's speech - by being more open, for example. So working with people, getting recommendations and earning respect is a better route to business success than broadcasting misleading claims to the world.

Magiclifestyle101 has blocked me from making any more comments on his video 'Does stuttering hold you back?'. The video, and his website, contain many misleading statements and entirely unsupported claims. So I thoroughly recommend that you look at this video and give Magic the full benefit of your experience.

[speakingout2]

Thank you, christest15. Do you stammer and, if so, how are you getting on with life?

[speakingout2]

@speakingout2 Yes I am a stutterer. I am 47 years old and doing fine. Thanks for asking. Kind of used to it by now lol.

Yes, bisonjump, I am familiar with all these techniques and use them from time to time - with varying success! I've not done a video showing a lot of different techniques in use, because I'm more about campaigning for change. Try searching for The Suttering Homepage; I'm pretty sure there will be links to articles about techniques. Good luck.

Are you familiar with cancellations, pull outs, and prepatory sets? I'm interested in seeing these techniques used.
