This page will be for the posting of the podcasts that will be done. That’s right, I’m starting a podcast. The episodes will be uploaded to the iTunes library and you can search for it. You will be able to download it to your apple products and play them when you are going about your day.

In the podcast, I will be focusing on the science of auxology, the different proposed techniques and methods of height increase, and relaying any recent news or scientific studies or article which might be relevant for the reader. I will of course be bringing in special guest which will probably include actual doctors, specialists, height increase researchers and enthusiasts, geneticists, and the average teenager or adult who wishes to grow taller and want to tell there story. Pretty much every related subject will be discussed.

I was recently informed of this idea to reach a larger audience through using the Podcast + Youtube method from listening to a Smart Passive Income Podcast by Pat Flynn and it got me inspired to take more action and get the message out to more people.

The process for me to apply and get accepted into iTunes as a real legitimate podcast may take me a few weeks so be patient about this endeavor. I don’t know how my voice sounds and I don’t listen to my voice a lot but no one I’ve ever met have said that I have a horrible voice yet so that is kind of encouraging.

Hope you are around for the first few episodes.

Tools Used

Music Used: One amazing tips that Pat Flynn gave me from watching his Podcast Series (Video #2) on Youtube HERE is that when I start out the podcast, I should use what are known as “Royalty Free Music” because that is the type of music that I can use without getting into trouble with copyright laws and legal problems. The music I have chosen to begin and end all of my podcast episodes is by Johann Sebastian Bach Suite No. 6 & Mozart – Sonate No. 12, 13. I don’t think two guys who have been dead for over 200 years can sue me. You can find the original link to the entire song from MusOpen.Org. I like it.

Due to the low volume of the music from the last two episodes, I have decided to switch the intro and ending music up for something that is slightly louder. The music that I decided to use for this episode (#3), and probably subsequent episodes to come, is entitled” Air on the G String” performed by the US Air Force Band using the String Orchestra instruments and Symphonic Pieces form. The original composer is Johann Sebastian Bach from the Baroque period . You can get the music Mp3 track at MuseOpen.Org which provides a source where you can download non-licensed, non copyrighted music which you can use for one’s purpose. The specific link is HERE.

Software & Media Host Used: From listening to other podcasters, I chose to use the service of Libsyn.com. I decided to go for the package where I pay $15/mth for the ability to upload up to 250 MB of media file size every month.

Recording Software & Hardware Used: Since I own a 20112 13″ Macbook Air I just use the available application GarageBand already installed on my laptop to record and upload all of my mp3 files to the itunes directory. You can find my podcast by typing in “Natural Height Growth” into the itunes directory, library, or store (not sure which one yet). As for a microphone voice recorder, I am using either an iphone recorder (the small thin white ones) or using the “Voice Recorder” app from the Apple “App Store”. I think it is free. From listening to Cliff Ravenscraft’s Podcast Tutorial Series HERE (Part 3 of 8), I know that my voice quality is not that good right now, but if my podcast has a good number of listeners, I’ll switch the voice recording hardware equipment for something better.

To record the podcast episodes where a guest come along, I used Skype to take the actual voice calls but use a software to record Skype calls called “Call Recorder, For Skype” from Ecamm.com. This cost $20 to get.

Music Player & WordPress Plugin Used: To put the podcast easy to reach and use, we chose to use a WordPress plugin called Blubrry PowerPress. This plugin ia also great to be used as a feed

A small note to the people who come here regularly.

I’ve been putting a lot of time and energy into the this project for the last 4 months which has been a wonderful time which allowed me to fulfill a passion of mine. I now have to shift my focus on the other projects and responsibilities in my life. Currently there are things I have to do for my company which is my main business, my other online business, my school obligations, and my obligations for the people around me. I plan to put maybe another 2-4 full months of intense work and research on this website and then lessen the rate of research.

I was hoping from the beginning that I could find and assimilate all of the possible information from the internet on height increase to this website and I think that the task is mostly achieved. Any further research would probably be where I try to assimilate all the facts and research together to come up with new ideas and breakthroughs.

[Warning: Don’t start buying and using Growth Hormones hoping to increase your height unless you are absolutely certain that it is safe (or maybe just don’t care). GH is not recommended or even allowed legally into certain countries for people who are still growing and GH will not work for people who can take them legally which is after growing stops. It is sort of like a catch-22 people get stuck in. The only way legally to get around the loophole is if a person can get a specialist endocrinologies tho administer it to them clinically.]

I have recently become aware that there seems to be quite a few suppliers around the world which can get you synthetic Growth Hormones. Obviously the problem is that sometimes these suppliers don’t get you real GH but fake stuff.

There is a company from South China Sino Human Growth Hormone Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd which seems to sell almost everything. It is really hard for me to tell whether they sell the real GH stuff or the fake stuff. There are a few places where buyers and users review them but they are rather mixed.

From the website Eroids.com, most people who comment say that the company has “legit stuff” and has “good quality”. There seems to be even a linkedin account for Sino HGH and and the managers there and more. from the linked in account…

One thing I am not sure is whether it is possible that good steroids and peptides can go bad if the inventory is shelved for too long like food stuff. If that is case maybe the stuff the Chinese company was originally selling was good but went bad.

The price range for the steroids and peptides, which include many types of steroids which I have researched for possible height increase possibilities are quite reasonable.

The cost of shipping is from $45-$100 assuming the stuff is being bought by people in the US and UK. The amount of time you have to wait is usually 7-10 business days. They only accept Western Union, money grams, and bank transfers, but no Paypal or other escrow methods. (taken from FAQ section) The success in the delivery is not very high for certain countries.

Of course you always have the contact information below for any types of inquiry or concerns.

While I don’t plan to be taking the GH injections anytime soon since it won’t really help increase height, it might be a good place for us to buy GH in case we are interested in doing a few studies and experiments. If a young person is crazy and desperate enough, I probably would point to this company to use so that they at least don’t get the fake stuff which can hurt them.

From this perspective article entitled “Mechanical Effects on Skeletal Growth” we learn about a very important law that is extremely applicable to our endeavor since it sort of validate old wives tales and common sense. If you exercise or push too much axial load on your bones when you are still young and can grow, you can possibly stunt your growth and decrease what would be your final height. The Hueter-Volkmann ‘Law’ implies a continuous monotonic relationship between loading and growth modulation. From the article…

“The ‘Hueter-Volkmann Law’ proposes that growth is retarded by increased mechanical compression, and accelerated by reduced loading in comparison with normal values”

and…

“The gross effect of growth modulation has been demonstrated qualitatively and semi-quantitatively. Sustained compression of physiological magnitude inhibits growth by 40% or more.”

To validate this law…

The mechanical modulation of epiphyseal growth is often referred to as the ‘Hueter-Volkmann Law’. Mechanical modulation of longitudinal growth by compressive forces is the most widely recognized, but tension, torsion and bending are also reported as having an influence on the longitudinal, rotational and angular development. While growth responds to sustained load, bone remodeling responds primarily to transient loading 5 . Intuitively it would appear that if bone growth responded to transient forces, then active children would achieve different stature than their less active peers. However, recent data suggest that intermittent large compressive stresses do reduce endochondral growth in the rat forelimb.

There has been clinical studies where it was observed that the spinal longitudinal growth was more because the vertebrate was not loaded as much.

A similar concept has been proposed in the mechanism of scoliosis progression during growth. In the spine, Gooding and Neuhauser reported “tall vertebrae” in patients with paralysis and also in younger patients who had been treated surgically with posterior fusion of the spine. They argued that the relative unloading of the spine produced increased longitudinal growth, although this was contested by Taylor. McCall et al. similarly reported on 3 patients who had increased height of the vertebrae (and thinner discs) secondary to long-term immobilization in plaster for treatment of idiopathic scoliosis.

Me: It seems that I am finding many websites and company these days which supply the actual components and raw material needed to perform actual experiments to test animals or our bodies to see if they can work for height increase. I have found a company which can supply the chondrocyte needed to perform experiments dealing with growth plate regeneration, the BMPs and growth factors needed to inject into the chondrocyte mediums, and the Growth Hormones and peptides used in Gh therapy. This post is to show the reader where to actually buy the specific types of BMPs I have been talking about for so long. If we can get the right raw materials, we can get microscopes, adult mice or rabbits from the pet store, and do histological testing after injections to see what happened to the long bones under real controlled experiments. I do know that there are already many DIY (do it yourself) biology and genetics labs across the US and if we can put a little money in, we could rent out a small space of a biotech company to perform our experiments.

From the Invitrogen website HERE

Apparently there is this company Invitrogen or Life Technologies which sells at least the BMP-2, 4, 7, and the BMPR1A . Maybe they sell more. The section is the “Growth Factors, Chemokines & Cytokines” section.

I know that from Tyler’s website HeightQuest.com that he has adsense ads which direct you to the Invitrogen website. I have been here before since they also sell chondrocyte growth cultures and growth factors.

Me: The study seems to suggest that you can delay and prevent the closure of the physics (growth plate) if you can cause even the slightest of distraction in the epiphysis and inject even a little bit of chondrocyte the lengthening process can be extended leading to more height increase. This validates to a slight extent the idea of possibly putting a type of growth plate implant into the long limbs so that they can continue to or restart to lengthen again. However, the issue is that if you just use chondrocyte injections, the effect seems to only go towards the hypertrophic zone and the chondrocytes start to cluster which previous experiments have shown was not a good thing in the resting zone.

From the study “The purpose of this study was to determine if cultured chondrocytes could prevent premature closure of the physis after physeal distraction in a rabbit model.” The actual experiment was ” injection of cultured chondrocytes after epiphyseal distraction” . The conclusion was that “The zone of hypertrophic chondrocytes was enlarged. It appears that the injected cells differentiated into hypertrophic chondrocytes and delayed premature physeal closure. At 10 weeks after distraction of the physis, the width of the physis was restored to 75% of normal, but disordered chondrocyte growth with cell clustering was present in the cell-injected group.”
