You May not know the pain and aconi someone that stammers go through every blessed day.
I'm talking from experience of people i know who are facing this problem.

Imagin someone who cannot be able to express him or herslf in public just b/c of stammering,
some of them can answer phone or make calls at all. Guys that stammers finds it diffcult to talk to a woman.
Can't even defend his or herself. And More.

One of them told me at time he can't even ask the drive to stop him at his b/stop just b/c he
finds it diffcult to pronounce his B/stop b/c of the the problem of stammering and he
will follow the bus to last bus and track back again. This is painful and stressful.

Well the main reason i [E-solver] started this thread is not just to discuse the problem but
to help provide the solution and also to ask people in the house the help and the
solution of this stammering problem and how they can get cured.


From my own little research i discovered there is no drug avaliable for this stammering cure
[though not that sure, b/c i'm not a doctor].

And i also discover that there is little or no attention from the goverment, parents, love ones and public
to these people that stutter.

And i'm thinking if there is even any speech thrapt that can be a help to these people here in nigeria
especially in Lagos, Abuja, Eastern, Western or in north too. [correct me if there is any you know both free or paid ones]

Now let me stop here for now. It is now Open to Only serious and helpful contrubution from NL Members.

Please Post any help, cure, tips or directions that will help someone get rid of his or her stammering. No Mockers here Please,
Only Useful Contrubution are Needed Here.

Cheers . E-solver

I think there are no known drugs/remedies for such condition,but maybe not anymore. Some factors like anger,anxiety,stress, and pressure triggers the effect too. One can always minimize/control it by putting these factors to check when conversing.

Had mild speech impediment when i was a kid too,but with the help of my parent i was able to get over it cus it is easier puting it to check in children by helping them to calm down when talking,but unlike adults who already are deeply into it,its almost impossible.

@daylae thanx for your comment & enlighting on the cause of this problem.

But i'm sure there must be a solution for this even for the adult too.

More Contribution needed Pls.

Yeah,i hope for solutions too in adults. You can imagine how much dents this can cause on one's self-esteem. It's sure a big problem!

My Brother. Infact Anyone Who can talk well should be greatful to his or her God.
Come and see a friend of mine who stammerers, Oh My God [somethings
i cry for him] And I have a passion of helping him get rid of that rubish
but didnt real know how & where the solution lies.

I dont think there is Any Drug or A Herb Product
that can cure it. Not Sure.

For Anyone Here who is stammering or has someone who does.

Here are some simple do- it-yourself steps that you can try To stop stammering:

1. Learn to pause before you want to say anything.

2. Speak more slowly-don't feel presured by anybody or by circumstances

3. Don't always expect that you will stammer or stutter-it will become a self-fulfilling prophesy. Instead, try to 'mentalise' what you want to say first.i.e. say it to yourself first subvocally.

4. Don't bottle things in, only to blurt them out all together. So when you're feeling pressured or stressed out do a simple relaxation exercise (breath in while slowly counting up to 3 in your mind, hold your breath again while counting up to 3 and then breath out the same way). That should calm you down a bit!

5. But always be patient with yourself and say what you want to say in your own words!

6. Avoid steeped up emotions when talikng. I can teach you how to disolve negative emotions to free yourself of the pressure it presents at such times.

7. Be in control. Dont anticipate response or reaction even before you start talking. (Dont be a mind reader)

8. Take it easy at all times.

All the Best. E-solver

Stutterers or Stammerers, You're Sitting On A Goldmine. . . Wake Up Dear.

Believe it or not, people who have stuttered/stammered can become better than average speakers. You ask, "How is this possible?"

People with this type of speech impediment who are highly motivated to stop stuttering are prime candidates for becoming excellent speakers. There are a few key reasons I believe and have proven that this is true. First, here is a small list of contemporary famous people who either stutter or stuttered:

1. Samuel L. Jackson - Actor
2. Bruce Willis - Actor
3. James Earl Jones - Actor
4. Bill Withers - Songwriter and Singer
5. Bo Jackson - Football star
6. Senator, Now Vice President (U.S.A.) Joe Biden
7. Rowan Atkinson - British actor who plays Mr. Bean

Obviously, those people, despite their stutter have gone on to do incredible work, which has required them to master the art of speaking.

Second, people who stutter/stammer have a heightened awareness of speech and themselves. They are quick thinkers and capable of manipulating words to their benefit because they've had to, when they needed to communicate. A sharp mind is required to quickly pick and choose words and phrases, and anticipate situations when they were about to stutter. The beauty of this is, this same ability and skill can be transformed from avoiding stuttering to outstanding speech.

Finally, a person who stutters has the capability to learn how to control his or her breathing, rhythm, and tone, voice quality to high degree because they tend to be very conscious of these factors as a stutterer.

They are also capable of creating and delivering great presentations without notes because they often do not like to read in public. Reading requires one to say certain words, in a certain order. If any of those words presents a problem, the reader either has to struggle with the word or phrase, skip it or make up another word to fit.

If you stutter or stammer you are sitting on a goldmine. You have the potential to become an excellent speaker, even a great speaker. You can be one of the best conversationalists around. Why? Because you have developed certain characteristics, abilities and skills, you have a better than average innate speaking ability.

I encourage you to start up tall, rise up and overcome that stammering challenge and put your day in the list above.
Don't give up on yourself b/c i believe You can do it.

Cheers.
