Anything I Can Take to Help Me Grow? Posted: 01-13-05 19:51pm
Alright, so I go to my doctor today, and I
had a bone age done, and I asked him how
tall I would grow. I am 16 years old,
goign to be seventeen in about 5 months.
He said my groth plates or something to
that matter have completely fused. I am
about 5'7" right now, and he said I would
probably hit 5'8". I really want to be
alot taller, just because I figured I
would be and I havnt reached it yet, it
will make my job easier and so on.
So I was jsut wondering if there is
anything I can do to help me grow. I
heard peopel talk of doctors prescribing
growth hormones, so that you can grow,
although there are really bad side
affects. Also if I were to take these,
would the work if my plates have fused
already? Its jsut bothering me so I want
to see if there is something I can do, or
someone could prescribe me (doctor wise).
Thanks alot.
Aaron

Sounds like you have short genetics along
with didn't sleep much in your younger
years (13-22) and didn't get in a lot of
calcium, magnesium and protein. At 16
it's likely what your growth plates have
nearly sealed meaning, not only will you
not get any taller---but you're on your
way to getting shorter as your discs and
spine compress over time.
Igf-1 would've been beneficial for you a
few years back. According to research, it
doubles your yearly height growth. I'm
unsure how much extra boost it'll give you
at this point though. Maybe 1-2".
If your growth plates have not sealed yet
then your best bet (though somewhat
expensive at around $1500 a kit) would be
hgh. (human growth hormones). Awesome
drug with countless benefits and much
cleaner results than any steroid can
provide. Here's a quick list of benefits
for ya:
increase energy / vitality
reduce fat / cellulite
build muscle
rejuvenate skin, hair and nails
improve memory
elevate mood
enhance sexual desire
regulate sleep
rejuvenate the immune system
improve brain function
protect cells
hgh can also strengthen bones, thicken
hair, re-color the gray, improve vision,
lower cholesterol and blood pressure,
improve digestion, increase oxygen uptake,
reverse shrinking of major organs, quicken
healing of wounds and even more.
Now.. After all this is a growth hormone.
It naturally occurs and decreases
production as you come out of puberty. If
you increase your hgh levels and your
growth plates have not sealed... Then
look forward to another few inches in your
height.
However, if you do want to go the route of
growth hormones you will require your
doctor's consent and prescription... And
he'll only give it if you have a really
good reason for doing it.

I see, thanks for info, are you dead
serious ill shrink, because I have never
heard of that. I live in canada, so
maybe ohip would cover it. I beleive he
said something had completely fused. I
getr about 8 - 9 hours of sleep a night
around, sometimes less, sometimes more.
I was thinking of getting hgh, because I
would liek to get taller. Just wondering
where I can also get igf-1. What also
can I eaty now to help with it? Like
milk and so on? Could you list some
things? Thanks. Also my mom is about
5'4" and my dad is 6'2". So I figured I
would reach over six feet, I guess not :(

yes you will shrink.. Everyone begins
shrinking after puberty. Not a noticable
amount mind you... You'll be a father,
then grandfather before you really notice.
:) i'm also in canada... Ohip will
cover it only if the doctor believes you
are not developing properly.
Hgh would be beneficial, but you have to
understand how to use it properly, and
real hgh must be injected and stored in
the fridge where your parents will find
it. So, that isn't going to hapen. You
can get igf-1 (insulin like growth factor)
from any local blackmarket steroid
providor. However, again.. At your age
I would highly advise against it. It's
not difficult to kill yourself on igf-1
injections. If your blood sugar goes to
low.. You faint, and well.. Die. I
know some people on igf-1, they carry
around a 2l bottle of coca cola with them,
and add extra sugar. Whenever they feel
weak, they chug some down. Awesome
muscle growth, height, and fat loss. But
again, very risky if you don't know what
you're doing.
Milk isn't going to help much at this
point, your doctor said your plates are
sealed. (although he really doesn't have
anyway of actually knowing this without an
ultrasound/xray.) get lots of sleep and
don't put much stress on your
bones/ligaments. (i.E. No weight
lifting!).
Also, parents height doesn't always play a
factor. My mom is 5'0", my dad is 5'10".
I blew up to 6'2".

Good to hear, I think ill pass in the
igl-1, because it is dangerous, I would
rather take a safe way. Do you still
think there is a chance then. We did a
bone skan, but the doctor said that they
arent always right on. Just wondering
when you had noticable growth spurts. I
will consider hgh maybe. Im just wanting
to hit 6'0"" I was going to start weight
lifting in upper body, I will stopp right
now I think.

Try to accept yourself as you are, it is
not your height that matters, it is what
that is within that counts. I use hgh
injectables because of medical situations
it costs me $500.00 for about a 3 months
supply, I do not see it doing that much
good for me but I am sure that my
situation is different, I order it from
canada, it would cost me about $1200.00 in
the states here, I was told the cheaper
hgh is not as good, the product I am
taking you can only get with a
prescription.
The best to you,
sandy
