Cut their tongue out of their mouth! It would take a major commitment from them to change. They have to want it and then do it. Therapy might help them and get to the root of the problem, but I don't know. The compulsive liars I know just seem to get off on it.

People lie compulsively for different reasons. It is a symptom of a larger mental health issue. I'm sure it is something that the person could overcome with the proper treatment but as with most mental health issues, you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped or is in denial about even havin a problem. There is hope if they realize and seek help for themselves. Otherwise, no.

A person can't be help if they don't want to be helped. My ex-best friend is a compulsive liar and she hasn't changed in 14 years
Hope it works out for who ever you are refering to.
I know, it can be quite frustrating
Good luck. Let me know if you find a cure

Most people that are compulsive liars are doing it for the attention, to feel important to even to feel in control of something.
So chances are you may want to recommend counseling for them. So I guess you could cure it if you can find their reason for doing it so much.
Good Luck to You

If you find one, let me know. I've been a compulsive liar for 3 years now. I don't like it.

yes.
1/2 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup Tabasco Sauce
3 Cayenne Peppers
1 Squirt Bottle
Mix all together in a squirt bottle and spray in their eyes. Then spin them around 4 times counterclockwise and push them into a wall yelling "tell the truth"

If the person is willing and wanting to change, I'd suggest hypnosis. If not, you can try to catch him in a lie and make a point of calling him on it (embarrassment will only help in this case). If this happens repeatedly, he may start to subconsciously associate lying with negativity/embarrassment.

I think that before you can be cured of lying, you need to know what it is that makes you want to lie. Once you know the answer to that question, you will be able to solve your lying issue on your own.

probably not.i would suggest counseling, but people with that problem tend to lie to the therapist too, which does not benefit them in the long run.either they just have to learn to stop at some point in their life or maybe people around them should cut their ties with them until that person figures out no one wants to be around someone that acts that way repeatedly.

I can tell you what humbled and helped me.
Dedicate yourself to stop after each conversation and review in your mind.
If you lied to a person, admit it to them, explaining that you are trying to correct your character and ask them if they will forgive you.
You will be re-training yourself to be truthful.
Avoid statements liky "you always" "you never"
We say a lot of untrue things from growing up around people who lie with ease.
