Today Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, who is the founder of Atomic Programe in Pakistan came to this city. He delivered a wonderful creative lecture to us in the hall under some tight security. He told us the whole story of becoming Atomic State of Pakistan. When he finished up the lecture. We all gave him standing ovation.

He was born in Bhopal (India). Bhopal is the ground that has full of fertile creative mind people. Although they cannot speak the alphabet "T". Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan among those who is facing this problem of speaking the alphabet "T". During his speech, he also pointed out his problem.

What remedy you will suggest for overcoming this problem. Is it natural or is it due to from disease?

He was born in Bhopal, got education in Belgium, Uk and Holland. His wife is from Holland. His children were born in Holland. Then he came to Pakistan in 1974-75. May be his problem is due to living in these localities/social status/environment or it is due to some mental or physical problem. During his speech, he spoke some joke regarding his problem.

What homeopathy could do for these type of people who cannot speak certain alphabets. Is there any remedies too.

Can he make the "n", "l" and/or "d" sounds? If not, why not? If so, he physically can make a "t", as well. I would look at this first! -K

Karenss, Thanks for your input.

I seen and listened carefully his lecture on video for your questions. What I noticed that

He can speak "t" which are coming inside the word but can't speak "t" those words which are starting from "t". For example

Technology = he cannot speak "T" here.
Plutonium = he can speak "t" here.

Yes! Sir, He can easily spoke "d" and "n".

His colleague Dr. Samar Mubarak Mand who was the head of the team who exploded nuclear device at CHAGI has no such problem. As he was born in Pakistan. I also met him and listened him. He has no such problem.

Does swallowing method or eating of certain items in our daily life affect our speaking power. A person may have difficulty controlling the tongue and safely swallowing food or liquid. The muscles in the tongue and throat are the same ones used in making sounds. Therefore, the therapy that helps speech can also help swallowing.

May be swallowing problem is causing problem to speak "T". A person may have swallowing problems if there is an injury or illness that affects the nerves or muscles in the mouth and throat. Swallowing problems can also happen if there has been surgery to remove parts of the mouth or throat.

Removing of tonsils may cause speech problem???

The following Tips may helps the individual to speak difficult words. May be some speech therapist will guide us more.


Speak slowly.

Look at the person while you are talking. A well-lit room enhances face-to-face conversation, increasing intelligibility.

Use short phrases – say one or two words or syllables per breath.

Over-articulate your speech by prolonging the vowels and exaggerating the consonants.

Choose a comfortable posture and position that provide support during long and stressful conversations.

Be aware that exercises intended to strengthen weakening muscles may be counter-productive.

Plan periods of vocal rest before planned conversations.

Know that fatigue significantly affects your speaking ability. Techniques that work in the morning may not work later in the day.

If you are on a respirator (with fully inflated cuffs), an electrolarynx or respiratory tube that provides an alternative air source may be used.

I am not a speach therapist, but the following are some ideas.

Some people cannot hear certain sounds and so of course then they cannot say them properly. If a person has tone deafness then that may be used a symptom in some cases.

Others have not learnt to say certain sounds when they were young and when older may not be able to grasp or have the ability to learn them especially if it is a forgein langusge.

Example: I know a person that has no difficulty with any English sound of any letter. However when he was learning Japanese, each consonant had a different sound according to the vowell used with it. So of the four vowells used with the 26 consonants there were 104 different sounds required. He just could not say one of them. He could only master 103 sounds in Japanese. He has no speach problem to be treated.
Another case is of a grandfather that cannot say th. It comes out as tf. Yet his grandaughter says th clearly and even says th instead of s. So a horse becomes a horth.
Another man that also has to do public speaking comes from Newfoundland and he cannot say the letter h. I think this is common there.

Buy the way why are Newfy jokes so simple? So the rest of the world can understand them.

My dear Sashi,

You always sent me such posts and said at the last don't reply. O.K.

I will only request you that one screaming person is waiting for you at http://www.homeoint.org/forums/Forum1/HTML/000191.html Please do something for that forum too. It is not running. I love that website and love to discuss at that forum. But you are wandering here. Peoples are screaming there and you are enjoying here. That is why that forum is not running. The reason is the moderator is not performing his/her duty very well. After the departure of Geir Marcussion. That forum is behaving like a stagnant water. Please pour some fresh water in it. You have the ability. You can do much in this direction. Please contact to various members abroad and convince them to come to that forum. It will be great service for homeopathy.
