Don't you all think that, if a company found a "real" way to make you grow taller without any side effects, it would make the front pages of every newspaper in the world? Come on people, I know you all are lacking some intelligence to even think about using something like this, but surely you cannot be that stupid to believe this crap. :roll:

The only surefire way is using the painful, break the bones and stretch method that may or may not leave you a cripple the rest of your life. Be happy with your life. I'm only 1.7m tall and it hasn't harmed me in all my 61 years. Learn to deal with it. Don't be a mental midget as well and a physical one.......

I agree with sms, if you really believe that these advertised formulas, pills, exercises or whatever will make you taller, then there is only word to describe you SUCKER!!. Once you reach your mid to late teens you stop growing, only people with certain diseases (if I remember correctly) continue growing.

Acupuncture might help getting taller

Post by lilSara » Wed, 22 Oct 2008 9:32 pm

I heard that there is another way, Acupuncture, traditional chinese style. And you are eligible, since it would work only with people younger than 25 y/o.

They said, they would do the acupuncture to open the ends of your bones again. (it's normally closed when you stopped growing, when you started to have period for women.) Then, they will give you calcium powder, which you have to mix it with water or milk and drink it a lot !! in order to grow your bones again. This way, it could make you get taller by 3 cm up to 15 cm, depending on person.

My friend really wanted to become a cabin crew, but she was only 153 cm at that time (21 y/o). Then she went to one clinic, which was illegal in Bangkok since the chinese doctor didn't have a certificate to heal people in Thailand. After the course, she grew up to 160... so later she became a cabin crew.

I don't know if they have it here in Singapore, but in Thailand, besides those illegal clinic, I heard that they have it in Bamrungrad hospital in alternative medical clinic there. But it's very very very busy though.

there's this surgery, where the surgeon break/saw ur thigh bone (femur), pull them apart 2 cm (or depending on how many cm u want to add to ur height), and screw some special steel to keep the bones apart. Your body will begin to produce new bones to fill this 'vacancy'.Surely u have to double ur calcium intake. In about 1 year, until the new bone is fully grown, ta da! u'll be taller. In this waiting period, u cant walk or put weight on ur legs.

That russian way is too painful and completely passe. :D

Get some Elton John Shoes, they will give you 6 inch! Ha! I used to have some back in the 60's :oops: Couldn't bloody walk on them :roll:

Although the best is to learn to live with it, have a couple of inches on your shoes.

That really is the biggest load of b****** I have read; why can you not accept the fact that at a certain age you simply stop growing? The purpose of Acupuncture is to cure ailments. I am not surprised the clinic was illegal in Bangkok as the 'doctor' is nothing more than a con-artist and your post here a 'fairly-tale' since you cannot start your bones growing again, what a lot of rot!

The things I read here and elsewhere on this board is really leaving me in serious doubt about Singapore and Singaporeans! :( :(

Groan......where do you get this tripe? Those people I know who have broken bones in accidents get a little shorter not taller and once again your body cannot produce new bones, might as well believe the world is flat.

indeed the body CAN produce new bones, if thats what we could call it.

those who become shorter after accidents might have had loss of bone during the fracture or had mal-union during healing, causing a decrease in height or length of the bone.

In the procedure for lengthening one's bones, the bones have to be broken first, followed by application of a device like an external fixator, held on by pins stuck to the proximal and distal parts of the now broken bone. However, the bone would not be pulled apart by 2cm immediately, as the "new" bone cannot grow fast enough.

Usually, the bone would be set apart by about only 1mm. And everyday, the patient has to turn the external fixator by him or herself, causing the bone to be pulled apart further (one full turn = 1mm further apart). Additionally, the full turn will be done over the day, by 4 quarterly turns.

So if you want to grow 5cm, that would be 50days. However, this doesn't mean that you'd be free of the device after that immediately. Xrays will be taken to assess the bone growth/union, and the external fixator will still be there to act as a support. It only means that the patient stops turning the knob after 50days.

If eventually union is still not ideal, a bone graft will probably be done, harvesting usually from your hip bone...

It's been around for a dozen years or more. But I don't think the US or UK allows it. Better throw away your compass cause I guess the world IS flat! :P :lol:

Well, have had a search around and interesting to know what I have somehow missed (apologies to weeles :oops: ). Although it does seem to be a procedure in its infancy and quite honestly not worth going through the time trouble and pain. Well weeles you and I agree. :wink:

Ps: There is an article relating to the topic on the BBC's website and it has been in the news which I somehow missed (or maybe don't remember);

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1453455.stm

According to which the procedure may not be successful.
