Stutter-Mind-Body – Part 2

This post is the 2nd & I guess the last post J towards my review of blog “Stutter-mind-body”. In further posts, the author has further discussed various drugs, proposed to be fluency improver. However, most of them are under trial stage only. He also pointed out various side effects belonging to these drugs, such as sedation (over calmness as explained in oxford dictionaryJ), weight gain, diabetes etc. If any of the reader develops some interest towards these drugs, can refer to this blog itself :- http://stutter-mind-body.blogspot.com In brief, the author have tried to put some counter weight against various non-drug theories for stuttering improvement.
