26. If this is the device I'm thinking of...
It has been of great help to some people, but the "miraculous" cure rate is overstated. Apparently there's a process of review by which a prospective user is evalutated for suitability. If she qualifies (according to what criteria, I don't know), then the device is used and may indeed be a boon. But if she doesn't make the cut, then the device isn't used, and the illusion of a miraculous cure rate is maintained.

Again, that's only if it's the device I'm thinking of. And if so, then it would be more honest for them to say "patients are chosen for suitability and, if chosen, enjoy a very high rate of positive response."


But best of luck in any case to anyone struggling to overcome a stutter.
