Special Posts

This section of the website will list a collection of the articles which which don’t really have anything to do with the “How” or mechanics of the process towards height increase but more on the “Why” and the desires, intentions, and personal reasons a person would choose to focus their resources (time, energy, effort) on this most unique of human endeavors. I try to probe into the psyche a person who would want to find a solution to grow taller, and also in the process I go into my own mind to explain my own personal thoughts, confessions, and desires. I only intended to use this section to allow you the reader understand me a little better and reveal my own transparency and intentions.

You don’t have to agree with me on any of my own personal opinions or beliefs. You don’t have to read any of the articles if you don’t want to.

Scams

Scams are a very big problem and issue in the Internet space in general. There are probably millions and millions of people who make a living by scamming people through the internet. Ever since the Internet came along, people who wanted to cheat the system and find some way to hack it for their personal selfish benefit are many.

I personally would suggest that the potential height increase seeker to read this section first before all of the rest sections so that they are informed on what is going on.

When it comes to the specific niche I am dealing with, Height Increase, there are probably a far greater number of sites which are scams than many other sites because the subject of height increase is believed by most medical professionals to be impossible. The scammers prey on the hope and desires of desperate people looking for an answer and solution. They want these people who have a deep strong desire to grow taller to pull out their credit card and buy their products which are often just an E-product which cost nothing to create, set up, or distribute.

Below this tab are 4 subpages . They are…

1. Scam Websites List – these are all the websites that I have discovered in my own search through the internet space for a height increase solution which I believe are selling a pipe dream, a product that does not work .

2. Scam Companies, Part I – This list of companies and people who are scammer was taken from the Short Support website. They are very accurate and detailed about the websites, products being sold, and people involved. Many of the products proclaimed by the site to be scams I have also concluded are scams too.

3. Scam Companies, Part II – This next list of companies and people who are scammer was also taken from the Short Support website from a separate webpage connected to the first one. They are very accurate and detailed about the websites, products being sold, and people involved. Do not fall for their scams. Many of the product proclaimed to be scams I have also concluded are scams too.

4. Internet Marketing Scam Guide – This guide was something I created early on in the websites development to explain to any future people who arrive on the website how exactly they are being scammed. I have been involved in the the Internet Marketing space and know about 90% of the internet marketing strategies, methods, and ideas the internet marketers use. It is sad but I see those methods being used to sell useless E-products to height increase hopefuls.

 

Website Changes

This is a quick note for the readers. The site will be held in stasis for the next 7 days while I go into the backend and edit and change a few things. My analytics program is telling me about the behavior of the visitors to this website and I realize that the desires and expectations of people who come to the website are not truly being met. I hope to change that so that future visitors will be able to find what they are looking for when they arrive to the site.

Edited Information 3/15/2013: [I have finally figured out the problem on why this website has become so slow and want to try to fix it myself. I have decided to restore and backup this website in case of website operation failure and security penetration. At the current time there is abou 850 posts with around 54 posts that have not been published yet. The research is ongoing and getting more difficult since we have moved beyond the superficial level of understanding. I personally feel that the posts are becoming more informative, content strong, and analytical.]

Edited Information 10/23/2012: [I realize that most of the big ideas that are out there have already been covered by me by now. In the last 3 months or so since starting this post I have written over 500 posts. Right now I wanted to go back to a few critical posts and edit as well as add upon them to built a stronger foundation on my knowledge of orthopedics, molecular biology, genetics, and the physiology of the growth plates. This is an absolutely critical and needed step on helping me move forward in the search. Some parts like the “Resource” page , “HI Techniques” page, and the “useless/useful sites” page will be changed a little. Since I am here, what types of changes would you as the reader like to see for the website? I am welcome for any suggestions on how to improve this website

Edited Information 8/20/2102: [In the last 31 days since starting the site, I have written almost 170 posts which averages out to 5.5 posts everyday. I am a mentally drained with this project commitment and wanted to take a slight break and just organize my thoughts and the website. There are other things going on in my life that I have to take care of but I will be back in 8 days.

So for the next 7 days there will be no new articles or posts added. If you come to the site, you will notice changes and additions put on the site and the content being polished up a little. The techniques page, the manifesto page, the scam list, and the height guide will all be edited and new content will be added. This is all to make the site better and more use friendly.]

Hope to you still around when I come back. Good day and good night to you all.

 

Increase Height And Grow Taller Through Age Reversal

One of the other more unbelievable ideas on how we as humans can achieve height increase and grow taller is if we can figure out how to master and control the aging process. If we can reverse the aging process, we can go back to a stage in our life development when our growth plates are still open and we can just keep on growing in a more natural way while retaining our already acquired height.

This idea seems quite “out there” but the idea of reverse or at least slowing down the aging process is a little closer than we may believe.

We learn that in 2010 Harvard researchers at Dana Farber Cancer Institute had successfully engineered mice with a controllable telomerase gene that partially reverses aging. (resource 1)

The Full Article is found below


The findings could be applied for helping humans with age related problems, particularly those with rare genetic premature aging disorders and possibly the rest of us.

Telomeres that are part of DNA erode with aging. Longer telomeres are linked to a longer lifespan. The Harvard scientists tested the genetically engineered controllable gene in mice, finding that switching the teleromase enzyme off caused them to age, while reactivating the gene reversed many aspects of the aging process. The mice regained cognitive functioning and became fertile from new brain and testes growth.

Researchers Reverse many Signs of Aging in Mice

The scientists found many signs of age reversal in the mice, including increased size of testes, brain and spleen. Ronald A. DePinho, a Harvard Medical School (HMS) professor of genetics says, “One of the most amazing changes was in the animals’ testes, which were essentially barren as aging caused the death and elimination of sperm cells. When we restored telomerase, the testes produced new sperm cells, and the animals’ fecundity was improved — their mates gave birth to larger litters.”

He also says flipping the gene back on reversed signs of aging in the brain. “More newborn nerve cells were observed, and the fatty myelin sheaths around nerve cells — which had become thinned in the aged animals — increased in diameter. In addition, the increase in telomerase revitalized slumbering brain stem cells so they could produce new neurons.” The mice who had lost their sense of smell regained the sense that is necessary for survival – an activity the scientists used to test functional improvements in the mice. They also showed no signs of developing cancer.

The way the researchers accomplished age reversal was by using the mouse’s own teleromase gene known as TERT, rather than giving them a supplemental gene. They then engineered TERT to include a fusion protein that would only become activated with a special type of estrogen. When they used the estrogen to flip the gene from off to on, they found many signs of aging reversal in the mice after four weeks.

DePinho says it’s a difficult question as to whether the findings could apply to humans, “But it is notable that telomere loss is associated with age-associated disorders and thus restoration of telomeres could alleviate such decline.”

He says the age reversal accomplished in mice could be applied to humans because the findings show adult stem cells in aging tissue can be reactivated and repaired. Telomere shortening causes cells and tissues to fail explains DePinho, but if you can keep stem cells active, it may be possible to reverse aging heath issues.

Me: There seems to be a lot of news appearing in recent years all pointing at the fact that scientists are just getting closer and closer to figure out the actual mechanism of senescence. There has been a lot fo evidence to point to the fact that telomere shortening is not the complete story, but we must also take into consideration free radicals and mitochondrial energy issues. 

I personally would not want to count on having the benefit around to use the process of age reversal just so I can gain height. As people age, their focus on their appearance usually decreases. By the time most people start considering the benefits and uses of age reversal, they are probably thinking of the use of age reversal for it’s own sake.

Increase Height And Grow Taller Riding A Stationary Bike With A Raised Seat

[UPDATE 2: One of the contributors to the website Sugata linked me to a page from the GrowTallerInfo.com website. I have already written up this post months ago about the possibility of increasing one’s height by riding a stationary bike with an elevated seat.]

[UPDATE: There is an added new edition to this post because I managed to find new information about the possibility of increasing height and grow taller from riding a stationary bike. It was found from Sky’s old website EasyHeight.Com using the Wayback Machine. The link for the actual information is HERE. Again, I will post what he had written years ago down below here.]

Another idea that has been talked a lot about in the height increase forums is through riding a stationary bike to increase height and grow taller. Apparently, there is actually a lot of information on this idea. I feel rather lazy today so I wanted to just give a few directions and not do any of the research. (Sorry about that).

If you wanted to try using the stationary bike to add to your height increase routine, the best option is to go to the Downloads section of this website and download the E-Product books and product for free and flip to the page or section where the use of a stationary bike is talked about. Nearly all of the Books in the Download section has a section dedicated to riding a stationary bike. Please refer to those pictures and exercise routines. 

The basic principle is to first ride the bike as intensely as possible. The main need there is to help release more growth hormone into your body from the sudden anaerobic exercise.  Another idea is claimed by some people to help create microfractures. Then as time progresses, the bicycles handles are supposed to be put further and further away from your hip or torso so that your leg will have to “stretch” out and farther to away from your main body which would give you longer legs and increase your height. To me, it just doesn’t seem even on a superficial level to make any scientifically valid sense. I would guess that if one did manage to gain any height increase, it was because one stretched out the cartilage, but not the bone structure.


Biking with raised saddle seat

 How it works:  It’s believed that by raising the saddle seat of a bicycle a quarter of an inch every 2 to 3 weeks, your hip and knee cartilage (NOT the shin bone) will lengthen in order to adapt to all the stretching and pulling forces.
Experimented by:  SkyStatistical Success Rate:  Medium (Athletes)
…….…………………………..
Very Low (Others)
– Athletes, bodybuilders, or physically active individuals tend to achieve better results than others (physically inactive) when biking with raised saddle seat.Level of Difficulty:  Not Easy

Duration:  6 weeks (December 19, 2003 to early February 2004)

Result: Not conclusive.  I did not gain any centimeter.
– The result of this experiment is not available due to the fact that I only experimented biking with raised saddle seat for less than six weeks.

       Explanation: Although a few had success with raised seat biking; this method of height increase is difficult to perform. Your legs are unlikely balanced while biking and this may cause disproportional legs.  Sky and a few others tried biking with raised saddle seat but failed miserably because it’s not easy to balance their legs while sitting on the saddle seat.
Also, the saddle seat always shrinks or compresses down every week due to
the heavy weight of the body that exerts on it. Many believe that they’ve gained a quarter of an inch since they keep raising the saddle seat every week; when in fact, it’s actually the saddle seat shrinking down but NOT the growth in their shin bone or knee.
 Evidence:  There has NOT been any evidence or any credible success story about anyone who has grown taller by cycling with raised saddle seat. Frankly, if biking really helps to increase height, wouldn’t Lance Armstrong and his Discovery Team be the first to know?
Cycling also provides great benefits for osteoarthritis sufferers. The motion of your legs and hips can actually thicken cartilage in these areas, according to research. And unlike other exercises such as jogging, biking doesn’t wear down your joints. Aim to ride for 30 to 40 minutes three to five times a week at 60 to 90 revolutions per minute (RPMs), the ideal pace for building cartilage, says Theodosakis. (Most stationary bicycles give RPM readouts; you can also buy a counter at a sporting goods store.) If this pace is too challenging, start at a more comfortable pace and quit when you’re tired. You’ll gain speed and endurance over time [FindArticles.com].

Note:  There’s a success story being discussed on several height forums about by a guy named “Leo” who claimed that he grew 2.5 inches in 4 months of vigorous biking with raised saddle seat. Well, this story is bogus! 

How to bike with raised saddle seat?  Click here! 

1. December 19th – 26th, 2003: Biking was my very first method that I applied to grow taller. I remembered vividly that it was Christmas 2003 and the weather was so cold in Philly (USA). Everyday, I rode the bike alone with a raised saddle seat for 2-3 hours every night for 7 days straight.  Back then, I did not use ankle weights. Anyway, after the first week of biking, I caught a cold, got sick, and was coughing. And worst, I lost my voice and couldn’t speak for a week. As a result, I was forced to stop the biking routine.

 

2. January 2004: One week after recovering from that wicked cold, I was a little frustrated because I honestly believed in biking with raised saddle seat. I hated Christmas 2003 and thought it was one of the worst ever!  Somehow, I just kept on going. A few days later, I immediately went online to Wal-mart.com Sports & Fitness and purchased a stationary bicycle that cost $78 US.

(from Wal-Mart)

Vertically biking…….Horizontally biking

Gradually, I discovered other methods with ankle weights. I’m wearing 10 pound ankle weight each leg while vertically stationary biking on a raised saddle seat. Also, horizontally biking is much easier than vertically biking because your legs are better balanced.

 

5. I customize the bicycle by pulling out the chain & removing the back tire. Then, I anchor the front tire with plastic containers, and put a chair behind the bike to transform it into a stationary bike.

6. Later on, I found out that the saddle seat of my stationary bike was not high enough. So I customized it. Click here for more info.

It has been suggested that cycling with raised saddle seat for 18 to 20 miles everyday would increase the shinbone length by 1/4 inch every 2 or 3 weeks. It’s very difficult but someone out there should experiment & report back their progress! Stationary bikes are preferred over traditional bikes because the convenience of cycling indoor regardless of weather conditions. Good stationary bikes can be found at any fitness clubs at the cost of membership subscription, or simply purchase a cheap stationary bike and then customize it as outlined below.


Equipments you need to raise the seat of your stationary bicycle

 

Tool #1: drill bit
Go to your local hardware store or Home-Depot and find some drill bits.. and choose the one that fits the hole of your stationary bicycle bar.The drill bit I’m using is 11/32” (0.86 cm). It costs about $4.49 @ Ace Hardware Store. The brand is High Speed Steel.
Tool #2: bolts & nutsYou need 4 bolts. The bolts I’m using are 5/16” x 2”. It costs about 52 cents for each @ Home Depot.
Also, you need 4 nuts. The nuts I’m using are 5/16”. It costs about 96 cents for each @ Home Depot.

Tool #3: bolt hub-caps
You need some bolt hub-caps so you can tighten them up with the bolts.

Tool #4: bar
You need a copper, metal, or nylon bar so that you can insert inside the saddle seat bar to lengthen it. It’s very important that you must find a bar that must fit the saddle seat bar perfectly.. if it’s not perfect, the saddle seat will shake when you actually biking.
Tool #5: Of course, you need a stationary bike.. above is the stationary bike that I purchased from Wal-mart. Click here to find out. Or, go to Yahoo.com search engine and find the one that you like.


How Sky customized his stationary bike which he bought online from Wal-mart

 

Before: This is what the stationary bike looks like before I customize it. After: This is what the bike looks like after I customize it. The saddle bar is now 5 inches longer than before.
Step 1: First, you need to remove the saddle seat from the stationary bike. Step 2: Cut the saddle seat in half.
Step 3: Insert the copper tube in between the 2 cut-ends of the saddle bar..Note: I’m using the copper bar because it fits perfectly into the saddle bar.. you may try copper, nylon, metal, or any other bar so that it will fit the size of the saddle bar. Step 4: Put the bicycle saddle bar on a platform and ready to drill some holes. 
Step 5: Then, I use the drill bit size 11/32” to drill 4 holes in between the saddle bar and the copper tube hidden inside. Step 6: Then, get some bolts, nuts, bolt hub-caps..and tighten up the 4 holes.
Step 7a: This is what the saddle bar looks like after it’s complete.. it’s now 5 inches longer than before.Note that the 4 holes that I drill go through both the saddle bar and the copper bar hidden inside. Next, I insert the bolts through both the saddle bar and the copper bar.. and I tighten them up. Step 7b: This is the close-up zoom of the saddle bar and how bolts & nuts are tightened.

Finished product: Mission accomplished!

 

Cycling with raised seat success stories

Note: The following success stories are among the best out there. They sound quite credible.1) posted by: Leo
When I was 23 years old I used to cycle to college which was about 10 miles away – so there and back is 20 miles in total. I read somewhere about increasing saddle height so your legs are stretched when you cycle – so it gives a slight pull on the legs. It’s bloody sore to start off with but you get used to it after a week. I done this every day for 4 months (along with plenty of protein drinks) and increased the length of my legs by over 2.5 inches – increasing saddle height 1/4 inch every few weeks. I honestly believe that any one regardless of age can achieve this and more – the legs are literally forced to grow to accommodate all that pulling and stretching.But I never see anyone else singing the praises of cycling to increase height – am I the only one?

“Cycling for height”
July 10 2002 at 5:31 AM
Anonymous: Well, I don’t know if this is true but I know I increased the length of my legs a few years ago by doing the cycling exercise whereby you have to make sure your legs are fully stretched. I used to cycle 15 miles a day and the growth was really rapid – and I was 27 years old. I’m surprised this sort of thing isn’t featured more on this forum as it really works.

Ann’s question for anonymous: Was the height you gained in your legs permanent? How much did you gain? So simply cycling should help or are there stretches/exercises for the legs specifically that would get the same results?

Anonymous’ response: Yes it was permanent. I just made sure I cycled every day and I ate a healthy diet supplemented with protein powder. I also got at least 8 hours sleep a night. I just can’t see why all you people find it so hard to increase your height – it’s easy. If you put the effort in and stay healthy then the growth will come. An interesting point is that when I cycled for just 6 to 7 miles a day not much happened but when I cycled 15 miles every day then I really noticed the increase. I used to increase the saddle height 1/4 almost every 2 weeks.

Anonymous’ other post:  “It was me who posted that”
Well I’m glad some people took some notice of my post –I haven’t visited this site for a while because nobody seemed interested in this method of height increase. Like I said you have to do a lot of miles almost every day to notice the effect… 5, 6, 7 miles isn’t enough. You must do at least 15 miles of hard cycling and make sure that your legs and feet are stretching every time. If you’re doing it properly – and eating correctly – it should only take a couple of weeks to gain ¼ inch.Obviously the younger you are the better the results you are going to get but you can still get good results no matter how old you are. This is the best method of height increase I know and more people should put the effort in and at least give it a try.

I grew an inch from cycling.. I joined a serious cycling club and did about 40 kms a week. I have grown from under 5’11 to 6’0, my goal is 6’1. I was very pleased with this as I tried 100 other methods including hanging, stretching and basketball, and I never grew a cm. 1 km = 0.621 mile… 40 km = 24.8 miles

“Really?”
September 11, 2003, 1:10 AM

Increase Height And Grow Taller Using Multivitamins And Supplements, Or Not

Let me state first that I have had a rather long day and I am tired so my writing may be more sharp than usual. I wanted to talk about the idea of using multivitamins, supplements, herbal extracts, special concoctions, protein compounds, steroids, growth hormones, and all the rest of those stuff to make you taller.

Let me explain something very clearly. Once you past puberty and your growth plates have ossified and fused with the bones, there is no oral intake compound or supplement that can make you taller. Let me list all of the hypothetical ideas or oral intake stuff that are claimed to allow you to grow taller on the internet.

1. Herbal Extract Formulas or supplement

2. Protein Formulas contained a mixture of Arginine, Orthonine, Glutamine, Lysine, etc.

3. Steroids like cortisol, any compound ending with a “anabol”, or “one”

4. Growth Hormones – like Genotropin, Somatopin, Humatrope,

5. Multivitamins , whether organic, all natural, 100% naturall, supplements, no side effects, and anything similar

6. Strange, Mythical, Magical, Ancient Buddhist Esoteric Shangri-la derived potions

7. Calcium & Vitamin D

8. Glucosamine & Chondroitin

9. Prescription or Non-Prescription Drug

10. Internet scam and quackery claims

None of them will work, at least not at the level you desired. If you ever see a claim or product on the internet that says that it will help you increase by 3-4 inches in 3-6 months, turn around and run as fast away as possible. I have personally looked at over dozens of these types of product and not one has any potential or real scientific data backing up their claims.

Let me tell you what could possibly have maybe a 0.1%-1% chance of working (but that only means 1 inch of extra height or less), if you took it because there has been some scientific research studies which did show some effects. The two that seem to work for a very small minority of test subjects were certain types of steroids and growth hormones. However, the amount one would need to take to see maybe just 0.25 of an inch increase would be at a level that would definitely be unhealthy for the person taking the drug. I do want to remind the person who decides at this point to go to their local GNC or online black market pharmacy to buy steroids or growth hormones that these types of “drugs” are very dangerous and expensive. Most bodybuilders who get asked the question by young teens who are still growing where they can get HGH or steroids to grow taller get very angry at them for even thinking of such a thing. I still don’t know enough about the effects of many steroids to be able to give that same type of judgement. However , I do agree with them that one should not consider such a path which can possibly ruining one’s endocrine or hormonal system so early in life and also suffer through the consequences later.

Note: It is very important to remember that if you are still young enough and still growing, most of the top message does not apply to you. Some of the supplements can possibly work, most specifically the growth hormone therapy where you get injections throughout a long range of time. However, even that therapy is very time consuming and expensive, and often allows one to only gain another 2-3 inches. If you don’t want to take that path, focus on getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals. Do a complete blood analysis check to see if you might be deficient in any vitamins or minerals. Vitamin A and Vitamin D are often the most cited vitamins Americans seem to be really low on.

One of my ideas and points of the website is to show that for certain types of people, they still grew even after their long bones closed, but they did it through another path, maybe from increasing the cartilage in their joint and then the outer edge cartilage ossifying which could cause added height. The best example are people who had suffered gigantism when they were young and still had their growth plates open. When their plates closed and they were in their late 20s, the gigantism turned into acromegaly but that condition meant they still kept growing, even thought they are not supposed to.

There are currently places on the internet where legitimate research is being done to see whether there are such a compound that could do what the scams claims. So far, there is no “magic potion” .
