I have been scouring through the old forums on the other sites and decided that I should repost some very unique articles and post in a more organized, available format. Some of the links may be old or dead.

What these posts will offer is a way to see that even though there might not be a natural way to grow taller, if one has the strong enough will and desire they still can using none natural ways. I have always had the attitude that one should have all of the options available. If one has what I would call an obsessive passion, then one is willing to do anything, even illegal and immoral, to be able to get what one wants. The individual drive and desire to get what one truly goes crazy over is strong enough to do near anything.

However, What one will notice as one gets older is that the dreams and desires of one’s younger self disappeared to be replaced with less intensive desires. The rough edges are smoothed over the fire that might have once burned greatly inside oneself is replaced with general acceptance. So if you decide to wait too long in life to get this area of your life changed, you probably won’t if enough time passes. Life moves fast and you are expected by everyone to move on and push forward.

In this short video I found, a young man named Akash Shukla goes under the knife to do Limb Lengthening Surgery at the Institute For Limb Lengthening And Complex Reconstruction at Weill Cornell Medical College located at New York City. If you wanted to learn more about him, his surgery, his story, and maybe also help him by buying his book , go to his website by clicking HERE.

Note: I do not know Akash personally in any way or have ever contacted him. I just happened to find his video on youtube while doing limb lengthening research and was moved at his story. I do not get any money or incentives for endorsing or promoting his book or any other material. Again, this is out of my heart. 

Note: Only choose to read this article if you have any desire to become smarter. This article will not have any information on how you can become taller.

So I wanted to first come out and say that I am sick, very sick. I have noticed that my glands on the side of my neck was swollen and even in pain for the last 4 days and I knew before even the sickness hit that my immune system was down for a long time.  My symptoms include runny nose, dry coughing, dizziness, strange aches in parts of my body, every other classical symptom of illness there is.

So I will only write 1 blog post today.

I also plan to go take a break for tomorrow because usually this type of illness I have (pneumonia) lasts quite a few days. I know I am not invincible and I have to protect this body of mine from shutting down. I feel that I still have so much more to give to this world before this body collapses.

So what is the topic for today??

Well to do something rather completely different than just talking about height, I wanted to talk about intelligence today. My mother once told that a man is measured in only two primary ways

1. How tall he is

2. How intelligent he is

I think her message has really stuck within me for my entire life. All of my younger life all I ever wanted to be was smarter and more intelligent all of my friends and classmates. When that didn’t work out so well and I had to go to a state school to get my engineering degree, I kind of gave up on that idea. So I decided to switch and see if I could be the tallest among my peers and friends. I know, I only judge myself in two 2 ways, by my intelligence and my height. It does feel like my entire sense of confidence, self, and identity is directly connected to these two qualities.

When I was back in school, I also did an INSANE amount of research on how to become smarter, not just hot to become taller. So far, I have found a few tricks and hack one can do to increase one’s brain to operate at its optimum state.

So this article is basically for all of you out there who is interested also in making yourselves smarter. And you know what? There is apparently a “magic bullet” for this. In one of my most recent posts, I have stated that there is no magic bullet to make you taller. And that is apparently true, at least for quite a while.

However, to become smarter there is a magic bullet, at least as good it gets. I am talking about cognitive enhancement pills. The two pills I want to focus on is Provigil and Piracetam.

1. Provigil

Provigil is the advertised name of modafinil which is FDA approved. It is mainly prescribed for the conditions of narcolepsy, sleep disorders, ADHD, and sleep apnea however the biohackers out there have figured out that the supplement is a very good cognitive enhancement. The effects of the drug is that it makes your brain remove the fog and your thinking becomes far clearer. It is supposed to be able to increase your IQ by 15 points (almost an entire standard deviation) Apparently the side effects have not been found or noticed yet. It seems to be perfectly safe.

To obtain Provigil, you have to get a prescription from your doctor claiming (I don’t endorse the idea that you should lie to your doctor just to become smarter) that you suffer from Sleep Problems. Then you go to your local pharmacy. For more information about how to obtain Provigil, click HERE.

This is the wikipedia article about modafinil/provigil HERE. 

1. Piracetam

Piracetam is another “smart drug” which will help you think clearer and better. It works similar to Provigil.  If you ever saw the movie “Limitless” here the main character becomes like 100 times smarter after taking this fictional drug NZT. Well, Piracetam and Provigil is basically the real life version of NZT, only without the extreme exaggeration that Hollywood movies place on it. 

Apparently Piracetam is obtainable without a prescription. You can even go to Amazon and order it. The link available is HERE. So you pay $20 for a bottle of 60 tablets of 800 mg of piracetam. Or you can go to drugstore.com I don’t do affiliate marketing (yet) so I am not getting paid for endorsing these products.

This is the wikipedia article about piracetam HERE

On a related note, I recently contacted Dave Asprey of Bulletproof Executive through his twitter account and asked whether I could interview him and he said yes. I saw him on an ABC special on the use of “smart pills” . For his CNN interview about his Provigil Usage click HERE. For his ABC appearance , click HERE.

Apparently Dave has no idea who the hell I am (yet) and doesn’t know what the projects I am working on are. Apparently his hobbies and projects are very similar to mine. His Bulletproof Executive blog/website is to help the reader learn how to hack his body and mind to reach it’s optimum performance. It is sort of like Tim Ferris’s Book the 4 Hour Body (which I bought and read)

If you go to Asprey’s website and watch his video, you would see that he has done some of the same stuff that I intend to do. His experiences with Ayahuasca is on my bucket list. I first found out about Ayahuasca (and Chacruna) about 3 years ago from a seminar. He has done meditation with monks in Tibet which I have wanted to do.

If I ever do manage to interview him, I would like to record the interview in mp3 format and post it on this blog here. It is really worth listening to. I mean, our body is more than just our height. I want to hack my body in more ways than just making it be taller.

So my guide/ program for the H.I.S (Height Increase Seeker) is to break down the entire process down by the length of height increase they will expect to get.

Let’s do some conversions. The United States and United Kingdom apparently are very unique because they chose to adopt and use their own form of measurement system, unlike the rest of the world which uses the Standard International (SI) system. We will not focus on the mass units or the time units but only on the length units for conversion

US/UK Standard Units

1. Feet
2. Inch
3. Yard
4. Mile

Rest of the world Standard Units

1. Millimeter
2. Centimeter
3. Decimeter
4. Meters

We only focus on two of the 8 units, centimeters and inches.  The official conversion we use is this equality: 2.54 centimeters = 1 inch

That 2.54 centimeters can be converted to 25.4 millimeters. Now, for anyone who has ever seen a ruler, one would realize just how small 1 millimter really is. usually about 2-3 hair widths make up one millimeter.

Now, if we remember that we (or at least most of us) have hair on our head. When we get our height measured, our hair does have a slight influence. The pressing down on the hair means usually about 20-30 hair widths are pressed down. That means that our height can have a 2-3 millimeter deviation from if we were completely bald. What I wanted to do is that that the 0.4 millimeters at the end of the conversion is not that influential until it is accumulated together. The effect of the small amount (0.4 milliters) is negated by the amount of deviation allowed by the compression of our hair.

So, for most general purposes I would prefer to use this conversion to make life simpler. – 2.50 cm = 1 inch so 10 cm = 4 inches 

Note: even though 4 inches = 10.16 cm exactly, the extra 1.6 millimeter is negligible and truncated.

I am going to put a limit of a height gain of 10 cm or 4 inches on this site because I personally don’t think a height increase of anything over 4 inches is even remotely possible , at least naturally.

I remember reading in a post once where an individual talks about the fact that there are indeed FDA approved injection that do indeed increase height, except that they mainly work for children who are underdeveloped with their plates still open.

On the general website that talks about the drug (click HERE), the claim of the drug is slightly different. Apparently it is actually for children AND adults who suffer from a low release of HGH. What I am getting is that it may allow for a slight bit of height increase but that is not the indented function of the drug.

I guess then if you really want to try this method, you should talk with a specialist endocrinologist and they can maybe get you into the program. However, it is very lengthy, painful, and expensive.

Note: Again, I wanted to stress that whatever you decide to try in your quest for height increase is your responsibility. If you harm yourself from taking this path, I am not held responsible. 

The general name of the drug is Humatrope. The chemical name is somatropin w/ rDNA origin. The way it is delivered to the blood stream is through injection. I am taking a section from the drug’s website.

What Conditions Does Humatrope Treat?

Growth failure in children born small for gestationalage (SGA)

Between 3 and 10 in every 100 babies are born smaller than normal for the number of weeks of pregnancy. This is called being born “small for gestational age.” Most of these children catch up to the normal height range in the first few years of life. However, about 1 in 10 remains small. Humatrope is used to treat children who are short or growing slowly because they were born smaller than normal for the number of weeks of pregnancy and do not catch up in height by 2 to 4 years of age.

Growth failure in children with growth hormone deficiency

Growth hormone deficiency occurs when the pituitary gland — a small pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain — produces an inadequate amount of growth hormone. This deficiency in growth hormone typically results in a slower rate of growth. Humatrope is used to treat children who are short or growing slowly because they do not make enough growth hormone on their own.

Idiopathic short stature (ISS) in children

Children whose growth problem cannot currently be diagnosed are said to have idiopathic short stature, which means short stature with no known cause. Despite the great amount of understanding that pediatric endocrinologists have gained about causes of slow growth and short stature, there are still many factors that affect growth that are not yet fully understood. Humatrope is used to treat children who are short or growing slowly because they have idiopathic short stature, which means they are shorter than 98.8% of other children of the same age and sex, are growing at a rate not likely to allow them to reach normal adult height, and for whom no other cause of short stature can be found.

Short stature in children with Turner syndrome

Turner syndrome is a genetic condition due to partial or complete absence of the second sex chromosome. It affects 1 in every 2,000 females and does not affect males. Humatrope is used to treat children who are short or growing slowly because they have Turner syndrome.

Growth failure in children with short stature homeobox-containing gene (SHOX) deficiency

SHOX deficiency occurs as a result of deletion, mutation, or reduced expression of the SHOX gene. SHOX deficiency may be inherited from an affected parent and passed on to children, or may occur unexpectedly in a family with no other affected members. Humatrope is used to treat children who are short or growing slowly because they have SHOX deficiency.

Growth hormone deficiency in adults

Adults who do not produce enough growth hormone from their pituitary gland have growth hormone deficiency. This deficiency may have been present since childhood (childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency) or may have started during adulthood (adult-onset growth hormone deficiency).

Humatrope is used to treat adults who have growth hormone deficiency that began either in:

• Adulthood (as a result of pituitary disease, hypothalamic disease, surgery, radiation therapy, or trauma); or
• Childhood. Patients treated for growth hormone deficiency in childhood whose bones have stopped growing should be reevaluated.

Again, you wanted to get more information for this actual HGH injection technique which appears to be available to adults at least in experimental form, go to the website HERE to get more information about it.

I do wanted the reader to note that the treatment will only create a greater rate of HGH release into the adult body which may have certain side effects, many of which are the same as one who suffers from Acromegaly. However , because the growth plates are gone and the bones are sealed, one may not actually be able to get any height increase.

If you have come to this webpage by clicking on the link on the main page, you probably are interested in finding out how you can increase your height by 10 cm or 4 inches. In my personal opinion, 4 inches or 10 cm is the maximum theoretical limit that is possible for natural ways to grow taller.

The reason why there is no method, strategy, or technique on this page is because I have not found anything that can even had the remote possibility to help on increase their height by that large of a difference. I promise you that if I ever did find some method, technique, or way to increase one’s height by 4 inches naturally I will be quick to edit this page.

If instead you are looking for something more reasonable like 4 cm of extra height that might be possible with certain methods and techniques I have found searching the internet space.

I personally am a very scientifically mind person but to believe that height increase beyond say 1 inch is possible, we must consider beyond the normal approaches of just good nutrition , exercise, and rest.

We move into the areas of eastern mysticism and non-scientifically validated theories and try our luck at those. As of right now, there is only two approaches which I have found which does have some hope that it could work, but the amount of personal dedication to the project is enormous.

They are …

1. Grow Taller Using Qigong Part I, Part II

The method involves the use of deep breathing, affirmations, and strong vizualizations.

2. Grow Taller Using Lateral Synovial Joint Loading Part I, Part II

This method involves putting a certain amount of load upon  certain areas on one’s leg to force distraction of the long bones. Scientifically valid.

At this point, there is no other reasonable way to increase one’s height significantly without medical procedures to be done.

Note: These methods and techniques should be added along with the program that we stated is need for the height increase of 3 cm.

If I do not find a way to do it within 4 years of the beginning of the start of the website, (August 2016) I will instead decide to place the only other option that really works and suggest limb/leg lengthening surgery.

If you however would be content in having up wards of maybe 3, even 4 cms of height increase, that might be possible. Refer to the other sections under the height increase guide tab for height increase of 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, and 4 cm.

Thank you.

If you have come to this webpage by clicking on the link on the main page, you probably are interested in finding out how you can increase your height by 9 cm or 3.5 inches. In my personal opinion, 4 inches or 10 cm is the maximum theoretical limit that is possible for natural ways to grow taller.
