I've done lots of experimentation throughout my life to find the cure for stuttering and have recently discovered something that improved my speech. I am fairly certain the problem of stuttering resides in the throat. A stutterer's throat is simply smaller than a non-stutterer and thus the tongue gets stuck when it tries to produce words.
The method I use is Om Chanting. For information on how to perform it, please watch this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46QziwaLaYYSkip to 3:00 for the actual instruction. By performing this a stutterer will feel lots of tension and blocks at first in his/her throat and a non-stutterer will feel no tension. Eventually the stutterer's tension/blocks will become less and the speech will improve.
If you have any questions please ask.
No you're wrong. Stutterers larynxes come in all shapes and sizes. Laryngeal size is often related to the pitch of the voice, the vocal chords are longer and as such make a deeper sound. - ask yourself, are stutterers typically high pitched? Actually more men than women stutter and women have smaller larynxes in general. You don't have to be a genius to work this out. Men's larynxes are larger which is why they have an adam's apple.
The person writing this is taking a very simplistic view of the speech mechanism and it's control. Stuttering is a physical thing, yes, but it involves the entire neuromotor system of the entire speech mechanism, which includes respiratory muscles, larynx, pharynx, soft palate, tongue and much more. Speech therapists study for four years for a reason.
The potential benefits of chanting are - a reduction in anxiety, a (false) sense of hope of cure, the experience of fluency through singing-like practice. You will not be cured, maybe experience a short term boost of confidence.
Unfortunately there is no cure and it is hard work to maintain fluency if you do achieve it.
Don't fall for these sorts of hoaxes which offer false hope.
