B-Complex Vitamins against Stuttering

Q. I am a retired professor, so what I did for a living for 40 years was talk. It’s a paradox because I suffered from stuttering, particularly the ‘block’ type you get when you have to give a speech.

I discovered a ‘cure’ for it. I took B-complex vitamins each morning and sailed unimpeded through the day. At lecture time I took a bit more and floated through my presentation fearlessly. The B-complex vitamins enable the neurobiological connection between the brain and the mind. I will feel more than rewarded if someone else benefits from this simple remedy.

A. Thanks for sharing your unique approach. The only research we could find dates back to 1951, so it has not been well studied. Nonetheless, B-complex vitamins are inexpensive and low-risk. It’s unlikely everyone will benefit, but it could be worth a try.
