What is the treatment of stammering in homoeopathy?

This really is a subject more suited to a speech therapist.

But, briefly, stammering is usually a repetition of a phoneme, one of the building blocks of language. [The word one has three phonemes, a 'w' sound, an 'uh' sound, and an 'n' sound.] From memory English has around 80-odd phonemes, but I cannot find a reference.

Stammering is often caused by a delayed feedback between the ear and the brain. Interrupting this can be of help. One simple method is to wear sound defenders (ear muffs) and to try speaking slowly. A simple expansion of this would be to wear headphones playing music, whilst reading deliberately from some text.

But it is really the field of the speech therapist.

Although homeopathic medicine is certainly good for many things even homeopathic doctors that are truthful will NEVER risk the life of their patients. There is no reason that the homeopathic medicine can help to reduce any side effects you may have if you need chemo or radiation, feel nauseated or need to boost your immune system.

* There have been research studies done concerning the use of homeopathic and other alternative treatments of disease, including some cancers, though I'm not sure any are specific to breast cancer. There is a lot of information on the Web about this topic, but of course, one should be careful to check out the reliatility of the source, too. Though I would speak with my attending physician, I would also speak with alternative healing practioners, take all the information I gathered, and make my own decision as to the treatment I believed would be the greatest help to me. Another resource to find out if alternative treatments might be helpful could be forums where cancer survivors discuss their treatments, or finding cancer survivors in your area and talking to them. I believe there have also been studies done that support the possibility that homeopathic or other alternative medicines can help reduce the side effects of conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation.
