Original Grow Taller Website www.growtaller.com and Kalsitechnic Solutions Ltd. Review

www.growtaller.comHere is a rather lengthy post I have been wanting to write for the longest time but never got around to do it.

Out of all the websites on the internet that have ever promoted the idea of height increase and some type of product, system, or technique to grow taller, I would say that the website www.growtaller.com is probably the oldest one in existence. Checking back using the WayBack Machine, it seems that this particular website has been around for a very long time, in internet terms at least. I would guess that this website has been around since 1998-1999!

There are some unique and important information that is going to be release in this post. First, this website www.growtaller.com has been on the internet for about 15 years so far. If you type in the term “Grow Taller” into say Google, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo it shows up among the top 20 results usually for most countries. I have been trying to get this website Natural Height Growth to go up the rankings for that specific term for almost two years and it just can’t climb up the Google SERPs. At this point, I realize that somehow the major search engine companies can’t recognize a high quality, real website based on their algorithms. Somehow they do take the age of a website into account and having a 15 year old website seems to really help its search rankings.

So based on the science, posts, and hundreds of experiments of hopeful teenagers and 20 year olds over the last 15 years, it has been conclusively been proven that whatever the owner of the website www.growtaller.com was trying to sell didn’t work that effectively. On that website, the owner signed off using the name Ken Kalsi who holds the company Kalsitechnic Solutions Ltd.

A person on the Impartial Height Increase Discussion Boards (with network 54) posted back in September 2006 about the fact that he/she bought the “How to Grow Taller” book back in 2003 and it talked about this technique called Myofascial Release. It seems to be a newer version of rolfing.

Someone did reply back to them in saying that they gained 1 inch at the age of 40.

Yesterday I decided to let Google and a few other less well known searching software to search the internet to see what can be found about the company and the person. What is revealed is sort of interesting.

TariffThere is at least 6 different people that is mentioned with the last name of Kalsi. They are in no particular order….

  1. Ken Kalsi – This name is the one that signs off on the www.growtaller.com website
  2. Kanwaljit Singh Kalsi – This is the name of the author of a book posted back in 1999 on Amazon entitled How to Grow Taller: A Comprehensive Guide and Revolutionary Exercise Program to make You Grow. That book is still listed on Amazon. You can find it by copying and pasting the exact book name onto the Amazon search box.
  3. Harry Kalsi – This is the signature given for the sister website The Relief Zone (at www.reliefzone.com). He is labeled as an Electronic Technologist.
  4. Mr. Nirmal S Kalsi – This is the real name used by the Canadian Government in official government forms given to the guy about issue with Tariffs.
  5. Kanwal Kalsi – This is the signature used for the website Relief Zone and for the website
  6. Harjeet Kalsi – This is the name that is actually listed on the administrative information for the website information background check.

If I was to guess, this is a family operation. the two real names used is Nirmal S. Kalsi and Harjeet Kalsi. I am not sure if the middle name of Singh is real or not. What was shown on the Short Support website page for scam companies of fake grow taller product websites was that the majority of scammy companies and websites associated with growing taller and selling height increase pills and products originate from Canada.

There is a total of 4 websites associated with the Kalsi name. They are the following….

  1. www.growtaller.com
  2. www.growingtaller.com
  3. www.reliefzone.com
  4. www.relaxica.com

I have studied back pain before so I would guess that the company trademarked name Relaxica is a nice play off of the lower back pain condition sciatica and the word relax. I immediately guessed that the website www.relaxica.com was a website that sold a unique type of lower back massager for back pain removal. However, I was wrong.

This Relaxica is a sort of facial massager is to remove migraines, headaches, tension, and stress in the head and neck area. From a document that google results showed, it is a vibrating device that has a strap and mask that is used on the head and face. This was revealed about a Robert B. Swierupski , the Director of Specialist Division of something called the National Commodity back in 1999.

The company Kalsitechnic Solutions Ltd. is a real company. They have been listed on the BBB, which is the Better Business Bureau. From what I can tell there seems to be two primary businesses with the company.

The first one is that they buy some type of manufacturer wheel (maybe car wheels like chrome wheels) from a manufacturing company in China. The name of the company and address of the Chinese factory is (or was)

  • Name: Changshu Daeyong Import & Export Xo.
  • Address: Room 419-424 Block C, Ganggao City, No. 263, Haunghe Road, Changshu, Jiangsu, China

What they actually import or export from/to china are Wheels Models.

The real address for the company Kalsitechnic Solutions Ltd. is

  • 7075 – 126B Street, Surrey, British Columbia – V3W 6G3, Canada
  • Email: hskalsi@rogers.wave.ca
  • Email: hskalsi@home.com
  • Phone: 604-572-8141
  • Fax: 604-572-8141

The fake address they had given was…

  • Company Representative: Harjeet Singh Kalsi
  • 1733 H St. Suite 330-988, Blaine WA, 98230, USA

The Address listed on the Relief Zone website

  • Address for Relief Zone: 988-1685 H. Street, Blaine, WA 98230 – Fax: 604-572-0355

The port that is actually used is the Seattle Port. They get their products from something known as Chingtao.

For those people who don’t know what the Ltd. is – from the Wikipedia article private limited company (Ltd.) – a type of company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, Scotland, that of certain Commonwealth countries and theRepublic of Ireland. It has shareholders with limited liability and its shares may not be offered to the general public, unlike those of a public limited company (plc).

The Ltd is a very common type of suffix used say Inc, Corp, or LLC used in the US. If you look at many of the companies started in India, China, Hong Kong, and other regions and countries which have at one point in the last 3 centuries been subjugated by the older British Empire, many of the company used the Ltd. suffix to indicate that they are a company.

(Legal Talk: This is a sign that they are a private corporation. If the company fails, the debt collectors like collection agencies who the owners of the company owe money to can not come after the owners by suing them and take away their personal assets (ei house and car), but only what is part of the company.)

Overall Conclusion

The company is absolutely real. They actually do imports & exports. From some information I managed to find, they seem to be importing from a Chinese manufacturing factory through the port of Seattle a type of wheel used for automobiles.

As for the website owner’s desire to venture into the field of height increase and pain relief and pain treatment methods, I would say that they were very clever in buying the website domain name before anyone else. It is clear that they were thinking ahead of everyone else before the 2000s.

Over the years they have been selling various different products. Some people on the Impartial Grow Taller Discussion Boards say that they had at some point been selling the Kimi Height Increase Insoles as well as pills. At this point we can’t validate those claims.

What we can determine is that the website is very high in the rankings for websites which are trying to rank for the word “Grow Taller” in almost every single major search engine, although there has been no new information added to the website for probably 8 years now.

This person, whether their name is Nirmal Kalsi or Harjeet Kalsi, obviously has moved on from this endeavor. We would guess that the website did get a lot of traffic and had people emailing the admin back during the years of 1999-2006 but over time people got wiser to the tactics used by internet marketers and the sales letters they had.

On a side note, I did some research on the Surrey area of the greater Vancouver Metropolitan area and it seems to be of a predominantly South Asian community. I would conclude that the person who originally created the website was most likely South Asian, and probably did have a middle name of Singh, suggesting that they were Indian, from the Punjabi region of India, and were Sikh.

So what this person a total scam?

I think at some level, the person was NOT being a complete scam. While I did not spent the $35 to buy the old grow taller document from the Amazon product page, the fact that they did create a rather sizeable book, with clearly written up stretching exercises, and went in depth on some exercises, like the myofascial release showed that they did their research to some level, at least on the aspects of physical therapy and spinal decompression.

If they ever did claim that they can make a person who was 30 years old 4-5 inches taller, obviously that would not be true. I don’t think at any point they claimed that their stretching exercises and book would let them do that. If they instead claimed that they can help people ever grow taller, that would be sort of true.

For people who have completely closed growth plates, they can indeed increase their height. Stretching their torso would give them at most 1.5 Inches in extra height, which would not stay. Of course that is the fine print that is no completely shown on the sales page unless you are are looking specifically for the catch.

If you wanted to see where all the data above in the post was found from, you can download the Zip file I created from the numerous clippings I did on research findings on the website HERE.

Cabozantinib

Rapid modification of the bone microenvironment following short-term treatment with Cabozantinib in vivo.

“Bone metastasis remains incurable with treatment restricted to palliative care. Cabozantinib (CBZ) is targeted against multiple receptor tyrosine kinases involved in tumour pathobiology, including hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). CBZ has demonstrated clinical activity in advanced prostate cancer with resolution of lesions visible on bone scans, implicating a potential role of the bone microenvironment as a mediator of CBZ effects. We characterised the effects of short-term administration of CBZ on bone in a range of in vivo models to determine how CBZ affects bone in the absence of tumour.
Studies were performed in a variety of in vivo models including male and female BALB/c nude [mice without strong immmune systems] mice (age 6-17-weeks). Animals received CBZ (30mg/kg, 5× weekly) or sterile H2O control for 5 or 10days. Effects on bone integrity (μCT), bone cell activity (PINP, TRAP ELISA), osteoblast and osteoclast number/mm trabecular bone surface, area of epiphyseal growth plate cartilage, megakaryocyte numbers and bone marrow composition were assessed. Effects of longer-term treatment (15-day & 6-week administration) were assessed in male NOD/SCID and beige SCID mice.
CBZ treatment had significant effects on the bone microenvironment, including reduced osteoclast and increased osteoblast numbers compared to control. Trabecular bone structure was altered after 8 administrations. A significant elongation of the epiphyseal growth plate, in particular the hypertrophic chondrocyte zone, was observed in all CBZ treated animals irrespective of administration schedule{although epiphyseal growth plate elongation does not always lead to increased height}. Both male and female BALB/c nude mice had increased megakaryocyte numbers/mm(2) tissue after 10-day CBZ treatment, in addition to vascular ectasia, reduced bone marrow cellularity and extravasation{leakage} of red blood cells into the extra-vascular bone marrow. All CBZ-induced effects were transient and rapidly lost following cessation of treatment.
Short-term administration of CBZ induces rapid, reversible effects on the bone microenvironment in vivo highlighting a potential role in mediating treatment responses.”

The elongation of epiphyseal growth plate may or not be promising based on what’s causing it.  It could be a result of inhibition of endochondral ossification.  The leakage of red blood cells could also be promising.

Cbz results in bone loss but perhaps it can do so in such a way to permit neo-growth plate formation.  In the Cbz group there was much more bone marrow than control.

“CBZ induces reversible alterations to the epiphyseal growth plate by disrupting chondrocyte differentiation.”

Stimulated Growth Hormone From Acromegaly After Epiphyseal Closure Does Not Increase Height

Stimulated Growth Hormone From Acromegaly After Epiphyseal Closure Does Not Increase Height

This post will be a short one since we have already hypothesized on what would happen to a person who tries to stimulate their pituitary gland after all their growth plates have disappeared. I managed to find two people who lived in the last century which had unique cases of acromegaly. All we are trying to say is that the types of exercises some people have been promoting to increase the level of GH released into their system won’t have any effect, after the growth plates are fully closed.

The Back Story

I recently started to get into watching a little bit of the tele and noticed in one of the episodes of the new UK show Sherlock (Specifically Season 1 Episode 3) that there was an extremely tall individual that was on the show. They called the man “The Golem”. He was supposed to be some type of bohemian/czech hired killer who killed people by crushing their heads with his hands. I was curious at just how tall the actor was and found that the person is named John Lebar. The website The Tallest Man listed him at 7′ 2.6″ but most sources list him at 7′ 3″. However, what was probably more surprising was that this golem character has been played multiple times.

Side Note: What has happened is that the characters of Dracula and Sherlock Holmes has been the two characters from literature fiction which has been most depicted on TV and movies in history. If a literary figure was going to be played out so often, some of the other major characters in the anthology and myth of the central figure would also appear over and over again. For Dracula, it would be Mina, Lucy, John Harker, and Van Helsing. For Sherlock Holmes, it would be Watson, Mary, Mycroft, and Moriarty. The golem seems to be one of those characters that appear again and again in the retelling of these Sherlock Holmes stories, similarly like The Hounds of the Baskerville, The Sign of Four, The Red Headed League, and similarly popular stories.

Back to the point: The other actor’s name that appeared in the google searches when I typed in for more information about the actor playing the golem was a Rondo Hatton. When I looked at the man’s face, it was clear that he indeed had some type of pituitary overstimulation causing the features of his face to be over-pronounced. When I searched to find out about his height, again it would lead to a thread on The Tallest Man website here.

Example #1: Rondo Hatton

Rondo Hatton

From the picture above, we see that this Rondo Hatton guy does not seem to tower over his female actor, which is a good first indication that the acromegaly he suffered did not give him any extra height. What we do see is that their heads are very different in size to one another, most specifically the nose and ears. Remember that the nose and the ear are made from cartilage, fibrocartilage. It turns out that the nose & ears on a person never stops growing. Over time, the ears become larger, and most physicians believe the ears drop down from the force of gravity pulling the collagen downwards.

Besides the ears and nose, it seems that his eyebrow ridge is also very pronounced and his lips are quite large as well. We have seen the large pronounced eyebrow ridges before in other people who have suffered from excess GH, whether gigantism or acromegaly.

Example #2: Maurice Tillet aka The French Angel

Maurice Tillet

French Angel

 

The 2nd guy I found was a guy named Maurice Tillet, which was called the French Angel. His head compared to the young boy he is holding in the first picture shows that it might be possible to make one’s head wider and maybe even longer as an adult. People’s heads on average grow only slightly bigger than the skull size they had when they came out of the womb. Human heads change only slightly as they grow older. Tillet’s head is most likely a sign that acromegaly can give a person a larger head. If that is the case, we could propose the other idea that induced acromegaly can give a person some small bit of extra height, but they would have to accept that their heads might become slightly large in proportion to their bodies.

Notice from the 2nd picture how Tillet seems to be even shorter than average. His head has become extremely wide, and his face reminds me of the Russian Boxer Nikolai Valuev. It is very possible that Valueve also has a condition causing excess GH being released, but Valuev is 7 feet tall, and Tillet was probably below average in height.

The whole point of this post is this. If one is absolutely positive that there is no longer any cartilage tissue left as a band on their long bones, the stimulation of growth hormone (aka somatropin or somatatropin) would NOT help. The most likely result is that the person develops a larger head, but that growth will be most noticeable in the nose and ears. 

The cases of Rondo Hatton and Maurice Tiller are two clear cases of what happens to people who have the pituitary gland stimulated after the cartilage tissue is gone.

We note very clearly that in both of the men, the size of their noses and ears, which are cartilage tissue (but fibrocartilage), is disproportionately large compared to their heads.

We now contrast their overall adult height and maybe compare it to the Brazilian Elisany Silva who stands around 6′ 8″- 6′ 9″. Notice how her body looks so thin and ectomorphic. I personally suspect that to allow for the body to increase in height from excess GH release, it has to happen either before or during the onset of the puberty cycle. If the growth hormone increase happened during puberty, I don’t believe that even that would work to make a person taller. Increases in GH has been shown to actually accelerate growth plate senescence. If the condition happens early enough in a person’s life, then their bodies will turn tall and thin, unlike what happened with Hatton and Tillet.

{Tyler- Here’s an interesting study about Growth Hormone that connects to Acromegaly:

The effect of growth hormone on body composition.

“GH increases the amount of body cell mass and extracellular water and decreases body fat.   GH treatment has been shown to promote a redistribution of adipose tissue from the abdominal (android) to a more peripheral (gynoid) distribution. The reverse change has been demonstrated in patients with acromegaly after successful treatment. The anabolic action of GH was first demonstrated when nitrogen retention was observed after GH administration. GH seems to stimulate cell division and increase the amount of DNA in the muscle. In patients with acromegaly the overweight is partly explained by a significant increase in body cell mass and muscle volume, compared to matched controls, demonstrated by several independent methods of determining body composition. In GH-deficient patients, however, the overweight is due to an increase in adipose tissue mass and the body cell mass seems only decreased in subjects below the age of 55. The anabolic action of GH is accompanied by sodium and fluid retention, due to increased sodium pump activity{The Sodium Potassium pump may be linked to growth plate hypertrophic expansion}. In acromegalic subjects extracellular water has been shown to be increased by up to 25%. However, in GH-deficient adults the extracellular fluid volume is markedly decreased by approximately 15%. Replacement therapy with recombinant human GH in patients with GH deficiency restores the extracellular fluid volume by an initial rapid expansion of the fluid volume, followed by a slight decrease towards a new steady-state level. GH has profound effects on body composition. Although body composition is determined by many factors including age and physical activity, changes in body composition can be helpful parameters in following the effect of GH in various body compartments.”

If growth hormone’s height increase effects is linked to the sodium potassium pump and water increase that explains why acromegaly would not increase height in adults.  You would need to do something like induce chondrogenic differentiation to cause height increase in adults.  Although the study does also say that Growth Hormone may encourage differentiation of prechondrocytes into chondrocytes.  But prechondrocytes would be like those in the Zone of Ranvier and not ordinary Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Magnets for Height Growth

PEMFs(Pulsed Electric Magnetic Fields) have been implicated as having height growth potential before.

Physical Stimuli-Induced Chondrogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Using Magnetic Nanoparticles.

“Chondrogenic commitments of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) require 3D cellular organization. An approach is reported to drive 3D cellular organization and enhance chondrogenic commitment of bone-marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (BM-hMSCs) via magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-mediated physical stimuli. MNPs isolated from Magnetospirillum sp. AMB-1 are endocytosed by the BM-hMSCs in a highly efficient manner. MNPs-incorporated BM-hMSCs are pelleted and then subjected to static magnetic field and/or magnet-derived shear stress. Magnetic-based stimuli enhance level of sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) and collagen synthesis, and facilitate the chondrogenic differentiation of BM-hMSCs. In addition, both static magnetic field and magnet-derived shear stress applied for the chondrogenic differentiation of BM-hMSCs do not show increament of hypertrophic differentiation.”

Although stimuli applied to pellet culture is a lot different than applying it to scattered stem cells throughout the human bone.

“cellular condensation is prerequisite for chondrogenic differentiation”

“Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have shown to offer a promising strategy to induce multicellular organizations. Forcing the cellular condensation via magnetic forces mimics the cellular condensation that takes places in vivo during limb development”<-maybe magnets can force the condensation in the limb.

“Physical stimuli were applied to MNP-incorporated cell pellets for 1 h for five consecutive days up to 3 weeks in chondrogenic differentiation medium.”

“MNPs themselves did not have any direct effect on chondrogenic differentiation, exogenously applied static magnetic field, and magnet-derived shear stress have probably induced closer cell–cell interactions and increased the nutrient perfusion within the pellets, respectively.”<-We couldn’t do anything with these MNPs anyways but the shear stress and magnet forces absolutely.

“The results of gross images demonstrated that the diameter of cell pellets increased when more than one of static magnetic field and magnet-derived shear stress was applied. However, there was no cellular proliferation regardless of MNPs and physical stimuli following the DNA content analysis.  The ECM is osmotically swollen following the chondrogenesis progression, due to cross-linked GAG, one of the major components in chondrogenic ECM. Increment in volume of cell pellets with physical stimuli would signify their sufficient chondrogenic differentiation”

“single magnet-derived shear stress had more chondrogenic differentiation effect than single static magnetic field, and static magnetic field synergized with magnet-derived shear stress was more effective than single magnet-derived shear stress in chondrogenesis. Although the physical stimuli referred to as static magnetic field and magnet-derived shear stress needed more precise optimization, it was obvious that static magnetic field synergized with magnet-derived shear stress would be the most effective biophysical stimuli on chondrogenesis”

Hong Kong Singer Hins Cheung Uses A Stretching Machine To Grow Taller

Hong Kong Singer Hins Cheung Uses A Stretching Machine To Grow Taller

Stretching Machine To Grow TallerI do frequent the forums and discussion boards on the internet where people find interesting tidbits and stories of things related to height and endeavors at height increase. Something that was sort of interesting was one story linked by someone in one of the forums which showed an article written back in 2008 about this Hong Kong Singer named Hins Cheung. I’ve never been to Hong Kong or know much about the Asian entertainment scene so this is the first time I ever even knew this guy existed.

Update: This story was first published in The New Paper on July 24, 2008.

It seems that this guy who was around 27-28 back then was using some type of body stretching machine to try to increase his height. From the article which was published on Asia One News (Read the story here). I did take the liberty to clip a picture of the article in case the article or webpage is lost.

Hins Cheung


It says that the singer was around 1.73 meters tall which would translate to around 5′ 8″ which is actually not too short based on asian standards. I am not sure but I would guess that the Chinese average male height is probably around the 5′ 7″- 5′ 9″ range.

The claim made by the singer Hins Cheung was that after using this device for maybe a year or so he has managed to gain around 3 cms of height, which is slightly more than 1 inch. Of course the article claims that he diligently uses the machine every day for 30 minutes to stretch his arms and legs. I quote the guy saying the following “Now, no matter how busy my schedule gets, I make it a point to use it every day”

The name of the product is called ‘zheng gao xie dian‘ or ‘gain height shoe shop‘.{I couldn’t find anything about this device online.  Maybe it’s a translation issue and it’s actually distraction osteogenesis?  Without seeing the device it’s hard to evaluate-Tyler}

The author suggests in the article that this Chinese singer is obsessed with height. He feels uncomfortable onstage with taller male performers. That would definitely be some sort of inferiority complex. The reasoning he gives was his mother who would compare his size to his cousins when he was young. It might have caused some type of strange body dysmorphic syndrome

What I personally find very interesting is why this guy who has so much wealth, fame, and influence still have that type of issue. My personal desire to become taller was sort of some type of mental complex used as a overcompensation ego technique that I was not as intellectually gifted as I wished to be. Of course every one of us has our own little insecurities and demons to deal with.

The author of the article shows that apparently Hins is already at the “height” (great pun) of his field. This guy was a former recording studio engineer and released his album first back in 2002. Clearly he has done extremely well with many adoring female fans.

However the article revealed that he would never feel comfortable with dating a taller female. That is quite interesting. I would suggest that maybe he has issues with his own masculinity which seems to be too much connected to his size.

The end of the article reveals that he has thought about the limb lengthening surgery and would indeed go through with it if the chance presented to him. The rational was that the Chinese market was very competitive and going under the knife was a logical step for anyone trying to look better (aka become taller)

Quoted from him…

‘In competitive China, money can buy many things. If one can afford to pay for plastic surgery to make himself look better, there is no crime in it….And I agree with this view. If there’s anything that I feel needs to be changed later down the road, I would not rule out plastic surgery….In my line, it is common and almost a form of respect that even males put on makeup.'”

Of course our question to this adult man who is considering going through surgery to improve his appearance is this. Can you handle the amount of pain involved? Can you just suspend or stall an entire singer and writing career at least 8 months of your entire life to dedicate yourself to increase only the height?

Using A Portable Folding Cot To Decompress Spinal Discs

Using A Portable Folding Cot To Decompress Spinal Discs

Folding CotRecently I had to move out of the regular apartment room I had been living in for the last year or so while there was some renovation work being done on the bathroom area. Since I had been living with my girlfriend in the very small room for cost reasons, it was not possible to stay in the apartment due to toxic odors being used. The bathroom and bedroom was in the same space. The result was the fact that I had to stay and live with her father for a while. That was quite awkward to say the least. Since he was not expecting company, he only had a type of fold up cot ready. That was what I slept on for a few days. What happened was actually very surprising. I noticed that I actually got a really good night’s sleep.

That is unusual since I actually have some sleeping problems and have a lower back pain problem. It seems that it does take me a long time to get comfortable on a mattress. I can only sleep with I am fully relaxed and comfortable. I really enjoyed the cot and wondered what was going on. When I woke up at night I noticed that I felt great, my lower back pain completely disappeared, and I actually noticed that I looked taller, at least right after waking up. Since I was in who could be my future father-in-law’s apartment, there was no way to possibly get an accurate measurement of my height. Was I really taller than my usual morning height from sleeping on this strange camping cot? I knew that most doors in most countries have a certain height and I had to get a plastic ruler to make a very close measurement of the top of my head to the top of the door, factoring in the distance of the door’s bottom to the surface of the floor. When I did that, I got a reasonably close measurement of what my height was in the morning right after waking up. Now that I have come back to the normal apartment, I did a comparison of my height from a night’s sleep in the normal bed.

I found that there was probably a full 1/4th of an inch difference between the two measurements. The difference was indeed noticeable. 1/4th of an inch is slightly more than 1/2 of an cm and that is something that can’t be attributed to just measurement error, especially since I recently shaved my hair to a thin layer very recently.

This showed that at least for my body, sleeping on different types of beds did have some type of effect. What I am guessing with the cot that I was sleeping on was that the cot was not bed downward like most models, but bent slightly upwards. That strange army cot was old looked to have been used too much many decades ago.

The upwards bent was something that I could easily feel on my mid to lower back region. It was not painful but just a strange feeling to be sleeping being bend downwards. I did not notice anything like all the blood traveling due to gravity downwards to my the top of my head but I could feel that the middle of my body was elevated higher than the others. What I would suspect is that the portable folding cot somehow over the night slowly caused my body to decompress spinal discs until the discs filled back up with cerebral spinal fluid or whatever is in the center of the intervertebral discs. I would later learn it was called the nucleus pulposus which is gelatinous in feel.

Obviously this idea of sleeping on bent up portable cots is not a final permanent solution on helping people end up taller or increasing their height but it seems to be doing quite well in increase the morning after wakeup height by a significant amount that is definitely noticeable. Obviously the increase in height is temporary but that does show that even from sleeping on the right type of unit would result in one’s height to increase slightly.
