When I was looking through the posts on the old, now dead Spanish language based height increase seeking blog Zar De la Estatura I found that there was a mention of a website or online business.company named ORTOPEDI which offered a type of grow taller and height increase program

From the front page of the ORTOPEDI webpage….

ORTOPEDI. A Combination of tradition & science whether you we in the business, art, science, modelling life will, life will effortlessy require you to be at your best apperance.

ORTOPEDI has been helping people of any age increasing their body height since 1970. It is a proven traditional and scientific method that does not require the students to consume any pills, drugs or any chemicals. It does not require the students to be in constant communication with the school, giving the students complete freedom to follow the instructions at their own free time and schedule. And we will provide guidance (letter correspondence, emails, phone calls) whenever the students have any questions.

Change your look & apperance for optimum performance.
Become your most desired self

So what does it say for the science about why this program would even work? from the Science behind ORTOPEDI section…

ORTOPEDI is the breakthrough result of centuries of research in scientific fields that involved human body. We have delved into hundreds of published studies from psychiatrists, practitioners, doctors, researchers, chemist, nutrientist, psychologists, educators, therapists, physicians, sports trainers, counselors, neurofeedback, and clinicians worldwide. From here, we have gained information/access to the most secret and natural way of body growth.

” Hundreds of rigorously performed scientific studies in the way our body develop have proven beyond a doubt that ORTOPEDI will enhance your body growth, increase your body height (proportionally), make you look better and quickly channel you into places, position, situation that you could only dream now. “

Human skeleton will usually stop growing once a person reach the age of 18 (eighteen). Although there are people few individual who still grows after they pass the age of 18 years, this cases are very exceptional. The cause of these few exceptional cases is due to excessive production of growth hormone. If a person consumed too much growth hormone during his/her growth, he/she will have an excessive growth, or in many cases called gigantism.

If your body has reached its maturity, and you bones have stopped growing, there are two things that you have to do to increase your body height, especially if you are a mature adult. Those two things are:

• By straightening the body’s skeleton to make the body taller, and
• Increasing the body’s height by focusing on the growth of certain parts of the skeleton. These certain parts are still in the specially designed, not hard bones. By following ORTOPEDI written course thoroughly, these parts of the skeleton are encouraged and stimulated to grow, therefore resulting in increase of the body’s height.

When a person is standing tall, the backbone of that person must be straight from the neck to the tailbone (when viewed from behind and the side). Many people do not obtain their maximum body height. Their backbones are not completely straight. When they are standing, their body looked bowed. And when examined carefully, this bending is most noticeable in the upper spinal area. The bend in this area is too curvy, and often the backbone continues to bend that the spine is not straight anymore. All this is caused by performing wrong body postures, that has become a habit done since childhood e.g. bending and tilting when sitting; bending one of the knees, when standing up, this causes most of the weight to be shifted to only one of the leg. Bending the knee causes the pelvic bone to rotate, which in turns caused the backbone to bend to one side. These are why many bodies tend to lean to the side, front or back.

All the physical abnormalities that we mentioned above, will not only result in unattractive physical appearances, but they also have bad effects on the health of the persons, because their breathing and other channels (including the thoracic cavity) in their chest are being physically disturbed. This result in the oppression of the heart, lungs and bowels, which in turns cause the person to be tired and experience breathlessness much more easily.

Many people think these abnormal body postures are natural and cannot be fixed anymore. But to everybody’s delight, we are informing you that ORTOPEDI written course can help fix the misshapenness of the body posture by straightening the skeleton / spine of the individuals. ORTOPEDI will not will not only increase the height of the body, but it will also improve the physical and hopefully, emotional health of a person, as all the vital organs of the body will be able to function well. The muscles will be stronger, and able to hold the bones in their proper, straight positions.

Among the results of joining the ORTOPEDI written course, are:

1. The increase in thickness of cartilage disks of the backbone, which leads to the increase of body height. *If thickness in each of the 12 cartilage disks in the backbone increases by 1 cm, it means that there will be a significant increase of 12 centimeters in the height of the body
2. Improvement of the health of the body, because as we go along with our activities, shocks from the movements that may cause scratching of the spinal cord & nerves will not happen again.

Remember, even though the human skeleton`s growth usually stop at the age of 18 or 19 years, the Epiphyseal lines can still be stimulated to grow. This means increasing the length of the Shinbones and increasing the height of the body.

ORTOPEDI written course will explain, teach, and guide you in great detail. We will explain to you how growth hormone is produced, how we can produce them, how our bones can grow and how to make them grow; we’ll teach and guide you through the course on what to do and what to consume and again explain how all these things plays a part in reaching your ultimate goal: HEIGHT INCREASE.

Now, we have explained to you in general the possibility and rationality of being able to increase your body height and at the same time improving the health of the body. All this are possible by just following all of the ORTOPEDI instructions in good faith, having confidence, concentration, discipline, and strong determination!

ORTOPEDI written course had been proven for over 35 years. Within 3 months after they joined the course, they have succeeded in gaining increase of more than 10 centimeters (about 4 inches), helping them to reach their desired body height and improve their height.

Analysis & Interpretation:

The first thing I always want to see is just how long the website has been around. A quick look at the bottom of the home webpage shows that the website has been around since 1998, almost 15 years ago. That is a very, VERY long time in terms of internet age. There is the claim made by many areas of the website that the program in the form of a written course has been taught and offered for almost 35 years. The last part of the science section claims that after a person joined the course, they grew by almost 4 inches in 3 months. Really?

The science sort of makes some sense for a person who has not done the level of research a height increase researcher like me or Tyler would have and some people would want to try out the program. The page is well written and sounds convincing.

So what is really in the program if I had to guess?

I would guess that there is a short pamphlet showing the person how to do some yoga and stretching exercises to make the vertebrate straighter. The pictures will be on how to walk, how to stand, how to improve the posture, etc. so that the person can look more confident, taller, and maybe more imposing due to the way they walk.

It will then give a short, not content rich section on the source and production of HGH. some pages will be left to state which foods contain the most nutrition, the most nutrients, and which foods and supplement will provide the individual with the most proteins and amino acids.

 So what is included in the program?

The special equipments of the ORTOPEDI written course are:

• The special “V-O Apparatus” that will enhance the growth of body height.
• The complete instructions of the course that reveals fully the secrets and results of the studies that can scientifically increases your body height significantly in a very short amount of time.

I am willing to admit that the website is well designed and there is some continuous upkeep and some new information added once in a while.

The cost of the program or course is $138 which you are supposed to pay to a stranger’s account.

If you chose the automatic outside international bank account transfer method, there is a name used Tjai Kusnadi Kundrat who has a PO BOX in the island nation of Singapore. The payment methods are Paypal, Credit Card, or bank Transfer. Through the eyes of a slick Internet Marketing professional, these are the easiest way to get money from strangers while still concealing one’s identity. The PO Box is used most often by people who wish to remain anonymous and keep their privacy and security without fear that their real identity is discovered. Almost all secret businesses and companies these days choose to use the PO BOx route instead of have a real physical mailing address due to security and identity protection reasons.

These are the bank details to put for the wire transfer….

Conclusion: The small nation of Singapore comprises of 3 ethnicities. The Malays, the Chinese, and the Indians, which are probably from Sri Lanka island nation and the Tamil Nadu province area. The nation is well known for being very rich with a very high GDP per capital. There are more millionaires in this place than almost anywhere else in the world, except maybe Monaco, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and some other rich affluent city-states.

If the person who resides in Singapore did find a real solution on how to increase height and make people who are past puberty grow taller, there would be a HUGE surge in interest in their product in Singapore alone. The people from Singapore, the Indians, Chinese, and Malay have traditionally not been the tallest group or nation in the world. However they are well off and relatively rich.

If there was a solution, there would be an endless demand for the program. I note that the Grow Taller Guru program user named Michael was based in Singapore. After 300 days, he increased his height by maybe 3-4 cms, where the most results and height change was seen in the first 90s days.

The fact that this person from Singapore has to go online and use the most non-professional way for product transactions aka Paypal shows that they are running a very superficial online business. If the product was as good as they said, they would want to make the business into a real brick-and mortar company with real locations and offices.

What I am saying is that the product they would give a person who spends the $138 would never be as effective as they claimed.

So is the company ORTOPEDI another internet based grow taller scam? most likely it is, since it is promising something that can’t really be given to the people who spend their money.
