A very small lady once told me that, had she been given growth hormones early on, when
she was in her teens and still growing, they would have worked, but after that, once
a person is an adult, finished the growth, those particular hormones do not work.

Maybe there is something more recent, I don't know.

There was a case a few years ago where doctors added an inch or so to a boy's femur and the result was a corresponding increase in the boy's height. The boy had been born with one femur shorter than the other.

The immortal Jackie Gleason once said that he was short for his weight. He said that if he were 8 feet 4 inches tall, he would be perfect.

BTW, I never read about Danny Devito complaining.

food. food. foood. what else is your body made of?
i would say you should load up on calcium, since putting foods that have a lotta calcium go straight to your bones, which BAM! helps you grow. so here's some high calcium foods like: low-fat milk (or whole), yogurt and cheeses.
i would also avoid stuff like caffeine (if u drink it), since it robs the body of calcium, which isn't good. (also, avoid eating extra sugar and salts. they take away and dont hold much if any nutritional value.)
next up is:proteins. your muscles need protein so i would eat stuff like fish and eggs (boiled). *but u might not like the fish, im an asian, so im used to it. but if u like lots of meat or chicken(yum), just make sure to go lean, or else u could give urself some bags of flab. eating more nuts will give u a lot more nutrients than a handful of potato chips.
it's good that ur eating vegetables. however u can eat certain kinds, especially spinach, brussel sprouts, broccoli, asparagus (definitely from what i've heard), cabbage, and coleslaw, since all contain vitamin k, which turns on your bone-building protein. (osteocalcin)
if ur a cereal eater in the morning, eat ones that have vitamin d. vitamin d will take all the calcium in and deposit it into your bones.
oooh, also, no one really knows this but your bones are also made out of MAGNESIUM. enough to make it an important factor. some foods that contain it would be: nuts, dried beans, crabmeat, spinach, wheat germ, wheat bran and chocolate (i couldn't believe the last one myself. who would've guessed.)
i also have a personal reference: my uncle eats a TON of blue cheese and he is the tallest man i have ever met. so if i were u, i'd probably start eating more cheese (a lot) maybe a stick or two a day. (or u can sneak it into your food)
*did u know that posture also affects your spine, which contributes to how tall u can be too? just look at all the tall people. most of the time, they should have good posture. if ur slumping, pick it up, straighten that spine.
Growth products : My choice is herbal ones like HELPO GROWTH FORMULA ( i think i gained 2 inches from it)
so here are the main points i want u to start doing (and if u want, u can tell me if ur seeing results):
-eat more cheese
-keep getting enough sleep(try to aim for 8 or more)
-eat the vegetables with vitamin k (like spinach, asparagus and broccoli)
-eat lots of protein (meat, chicken, or fish)
-eat cereal with vitamin d (u also get this naturally from the sun! :) but not too much.
-eat boiled eggs! (my chemistry teacher is also really health conscious and he said eggs fill u up the best.)
-treat urself to some chocolate every now and then. u know the rules. but i would eat dark chocolate since that actually gives u some nutrients and milk chocolate contains more hormones which might make u break out. (this is for some people)
-stretching/running/leg exercises help give room for your bones to expand, exercising destroys bone (i need to double check on that one) but after a day of resting, it grow back a little bit bigger!
-drink milk! it is so important, yet it's easy to forget sometimes. so drink it!
- Helpo Growth Formula is a good product to combine with all stuff above alternatively.
i think that's everything.. sorry i went on and on. i hope that helped you out! :)
it looks pretty good.

Re: satogrowth

I have never written to a forum before, but i feel this product deserves one. i am now 24 yrs old. Nothing ever worked like satogrowth. i tried lots of stuff but nothing really worked . So in desperation i looked online and found satogrowth. After just one month,l noticed 2 cm increase! I ordered 2 months supply, and so i ordered some more 18 months-pro. and i am pleased to say that l have grown full 3 inches at the end of using.I am now a very devoted customer and i have recommended it to all my friends. I have no idea how this stuff works better than all the stuff from out there.but i am glad it does!


this is so clearly BS. first off anyone who has half a brain knows that you are finished growing LONG before you reach 24.

you're not going to grow 3 inches at 24 years old, get real.

and with that being said.. if you can't realize this is spam to sell something, you seriously need to check into the M-Ward.

8O...........He's dead now, but "Dr." H. H. Holmes, formally of Chicago, had just the thing for you.

He called the "extender", and kept it in a soundproof room in his mansion. Guaranteed results; but, it also ripped you limb from limb and killed you in the end. No one lasted long enough to claim against the guarantee.

In medieval times, they called it the rack.

Might be still a few of them around, if you're desperate.

I'm not "stretching" the truth..........sorry...........google H H Holmes.

The U.S.'s first serial killer.

A very pleasant chap, he died while his neck was being "extended".
