Growing taller

[coolgrooves]

Does anyone know of any non-prescription drugs sold in the UK which stimulate human growth (which actually work!)?

Alice - (Lewis Carroll) ate something that said 'Eat Me' She did so and grew to more than nine feet high. So Maybe you should look for 'Eat Me" labels; usually found on Dates' Tshirts, and sexy underwear. Sorry I couldn't find anything more factual - I'll get me coat..

Here's a bit of useless information.
Just seen a bit on telly where japanese wannabe models wear some sort of steel leg braces to stretch their leg bones and after 6 month gain a few inches in height. You got to be prepared to spent hours each day laying on a bed with these things on, and apparantly they can be painful but they do work. Don't know if these things are available in the UK though. Why not be happy with your height? Some very successful people are short of stature.

HGH (human growth hormone) is available from lots of sources on the net (no suprises that they all seem to be American) but good luck if you decide to go down this route......it doesn't actually stimulate growth as in height gain in adults but it promotes a faster metabolism and helps your body repair itself quicker and gives a more youthful appearance.....as wildwood says they only certain way of gaining a few inches is to wear calipers and have your legs periodically broken, pulled apart by a small amount then let them re-set, and repeat till you achive the desired effect though I would think you'll have a very hard search to find a clinician who'll untertake this procedure for you.

No! There are none available. And even if there were, they would probably cause you harm. HRT treatment for women has been linked to a higher incidence of cancer.Be happy with you height. If you're not, see your GP - he may be able to offer some advice/comfort.

Forgot one point! Buy some shoes with a big chunky heel - that will add 2 to 3 inches. This is your best bet!
