Can I become any taller

There is an appratus that I have seen where it can help stretch out the body. I am not sure what it is called, but it looks like an elongated table (about 7 or 8 feet) with straps at each end. Each end of the table expands. The straps go around your ankles and wrists. Essentially, you lay down with hands high about your head and your feet placed together. This is not a self operated system, as another operator is required to adjust the settings on table expansion (can vary from a few inches to several feet depends of height of person). The stretching procedure takes approximately 20 minutes. This procedure can repeated everyday until you are satisfied with the result. I have never heard of anyone who has tried this, but I thought it was interesting to say the least.
 
How old are you?

I grew two inches between 20 and 23.

The number one way to assist your body in growing to your full height is to make sure you get a lot of good useable protein and take an EXCELLENT multivitamin/mineral.

The multi is very important. The Metabolic Pathways charts show how one substance is converted to another in each step of your body making molecule after molecule. One missing link in the chain stops a process... or grinds it to a slow crawl. You need to make sure you don't hve any mini deficiencies.

Think dog food. Puppies do not grow well on adult dog food. They need puppy chow to hit their full hieght and size. Puppy chow is high protein and high nutrient. (Puppies raised on adult dog food usually turn out to be undersized. They don't get the nutrients they need during their growing years.)

Why would this concept make sense in dogs but not in humans?
 
damn u grew 2 inches from 20 to 23? shit, im 17 and im 6'5" but i dont wanna be any taller. lol.

Direct from the Spanish Inquisition.

It is called "The Rack" BTW :)

Ditto on the how old are you comment from SG.

I also grew about 1.5 inches in College. Was 5' 8" after HS, and always thought that was how tall I was, about 10 years later actually measured and was a bit over 5' 9.5"

Of course, I also didn't *have* to shave every day until I was 25 or so, and was always carded at bars until I was almost 30. And no, that wasn't flatteing at the time, it got really old. But now I never get carded, and it is a little disappointing :)
 
Height comes from three major things: the long bones in the legs, the cushions between your spinal bones, and your posture. Once the growth areas of the leg bones fuse at maturity, that's it for them. Not even HGH will have any effect on your height after fusion occurs. (Acromegaly, maybe, meaning a neanderthal brow and a lantern jaw; but no increase in height.)

Over the course of a day your spine tends to compress; over the course of years you're going to "shrink" as that effect accumulates. Stretching can give you back an inch or two but it's temporary by nature.

That leaves posture. Standing up straight makes a real difference -- easily more than you'd get from being "racked."
 
if you are willing to go through a year of pain and not walking, docs can stretch your bones and give you about four inches.
 
they did a study. yoga stretching can increase your height by 1.5-2 inches max. it is not permanent increase however, becuz yoga stretches and straightens ur joints to make you taller, and if u dont keep doing yoga u go back to ur normal height.
 
There is also a surgical procedure that breaks the legs, then attaches pins horizontally into the leg, attached to a halo that you stretch the broken bone with-by seperating the break over awhile. Very painful and possible nerve damage but it works. Russian doctors came up with it.
 
there is a dark side to growth because nowadays, there are doctors in Mexico who will chemically castrate young boys in order to maximize growth. the concept is quite the opposite of what anyone here would want, and that is to lower serum androgens to the lowest they can be, thereby slowing down the maturation process. this process is not without its risks, the greatest which is depression from the chemical imbalance, but for the most part, young boys can grow from 6-12 inches, and for a young boy who's father is only 5 feet tall, well, having a son who can be 6-2 may convince many that the risk is well worth it.

rather than increase GH production, they reduce testosterone production with some of the same contraceptives used by women like Depo-Provera in order to inhibit Testosterone Production. The idea is actually rather old and has been around for close to 50 years, but given the political climate then and now, it is doubtful to ever take hold here, or in Mexico, but if you ask around, you can eventually find the doctors to do it.

as for growth after maturation of the epiphyses, there have been attempts (i believe in France and Italy mostly) to increase growth by way of mechanical "braces" which force the bone to grow. as i understood it though, this was an extremely painful process and the person who had it done was always walking in pain due to the stretching that is being forced on the femur, tibia and fibula, and frankly, the quality of life that is limited and the risk of bone decalcification if done wrong is a frightening though ....

but , being a short person myself who nearly a decade ago seriously considered such options, i can assure you that such methods exist, and little by little will be improved.... will they be popular? probably not, but they are there ...
 
I also read about the process of breakage, but the amount of downtime required (you cannot walk on broken legs) and the risk for both decalcification and tibial/fibial/femural deformation (you'll have lumpy legs) and necrosis is something that has not been worked out. the idea is very interesting though and just like in the Movie Gattaca, it may be a process in the future, but for now, this appears to be the most difficult method to consider when you keep in mind the risk-to-benefit ratio (which is low for all three of these methods, but this one is lowest by far)....

i guess there is a dark side to everything ...
