Increase Height And Grow Taller Using Faslodex

Me: I don’t think it can be any clearer from the last sentence of the paper but Faslodex injections can definitely lead to increased final height and longer growth time by acting as an estrogen blocking agent. The dosage of Faslodex used in the experiment was 100 microg/100 g body weight so for a person about 150 lb, that is about 68 milligrams of the Fasladex compound. So far I have not done any research to see what exactly is Faslodex but only know that it is an estrogen inhibiting agent.

Abstract

Sex steroids accelerate bone maturation, but it is believed that estrogen action is needed for terminal epiphyseal fusion. In this study, we investigated the effects of a new estrogen-blocking agent, Faslodex (ICI 182,780), on estrogen-accelerated skeletal maturation in immature mice. On day-of-life 2 through 8, mice pups received either estradiol (5 microg/100 g body weight), Faslodex (100 microg/100 g body weight), a combination of Faslodex + estradiol, or vehicle alone. Skeletal maturation was assessed with a scoring system based on the size and appearance of epiphyseal plates in the forepaw and the lumbar spine. Estradiol caused acceleration of bone maturation in our mouse model (p < 0.05). Faslodex blocked the effect of estrogen, such that the mice receiving Faslodex + estradiol did not vary significantly from controls. Faslodex may prove useful in the treatment of patients with diseases causing rapid skeletal maturation, such as precocious puberty.

The Importance Of Height For Leaders Throughout History

My most recent post about the heights of the presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Barack Obama made me want to make few more remarks on the issue of height for world leaders, the people who make the big decisions and shape the evolution of human kinds.

Throughout history, leaders of nations have tried to make themselves appear just as big as the amount of power they wield in the office. For the male leader, it may be a very psychological element to think of himself as not just strong, but also big.

Most people would think that their leaders are tall, and larger than life. However that doesn’t seem to be the case for many nations these days. As we have seen time and time again, some of the greatest most influential leaders in history has been people who were on the short side.

Alexander the Great, Atilla the Hun, Napoleon Bonaparte, Deng Xiao Ping, Joseph Stalin, and even Hitler has all been either noted to be or rumored to have been on the short side.

Recent leaders and presidents like Nicholas Sarkozy, Dimitri Medvedev, Angela Merkel, Silvio Berlusconi, Vladimir Putin, François Hollande , Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Margaret Thatcher have all been much shorter than the average citizen of their countries would have believed. In general, besides the current USA and UK leaders, most other countries that I can think of have leaders that are low in stature.

However, this does not mean that they are just going to let other people see them in a negative unappealing light though. Many past and present leaders have created an image and used PR campaigning to make themselves appear bigger than they really are. Let’s remember that the previous French president Sarkozy at 5′ 5″-5′ 6″ was rumored to have worn lifts or high heeled shoes to make himself look bigger because the french press joked about his size and to put him closer to his wife Carla Bruni’s height. She was said to have also been only allowed to wear flats to not overwhelm his presence. The current russian president Putin is also said to only put himself in situations where his real height can not be judged properly. The late Chinese Chairman Mao was also rumored to have used his PR people to claim he was 5′ 11″ which was tall compared to the average Chinese during that era. So has the late Kim Jung Il who many people think is 5′ 3″ and has been reported to wear very high lifts so as not to appear so small compared to other world leaders in pictures.

World’s Leaders Don’t Stand So Tall

By NICK WATT (@nickwattabc) and JENNA MUCHA

July 5, 2008

The giants of world politics are assembled in Toyako, Japan, for the G-8 summit this weekend, but while they may be big-time players, most of them wouldn’t stand out in a crowd.

Just one, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, breaks the 6-foot barrier. Five of the world leaders aren’t even 5’6″ tall.

President Bush can count himself among the more imposing of the heads of government: He’s 5’11”, and a nice pair of cowboy boots would easily lift him over 6 feet.

If John McCain is elected in November, the Arizona Republican won’t have to worry about talking down to most of his counterparts at these gatherings: At 5’9″ he is only a little taller than average.

Barack Obama on the other hand might make some of the other G-8 leaders uncomfortable. The Illinois Democrat would tower over them at 6’1″.

Among the leaders gathered this weekend, Russia’s little big man, President Dmitry Medvedev, brings up the rear at only 5’2″.

The G-8 host country Japan’s Yasuo Fukuda is only 5’6″, and Germany’s female Chancellor Angela Merkel measures in at only 5’5″.

Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi’s height is something of a controversy. According to most sources Belusconi is 5’5″. However according to BBCNews.com, Berlusconi — often made fun of for his height and wearing platform shoes — once commented at a European summit, “Satirists describe me as a dwarf, but I am actually 170 centimeters (5’7″) tall. In my day that was considered quite tall.”

President Nicolas Sarkozy of France does all he can to disguise the four inches his former supermodel wife has over him. She wears flat shoes and he wears the heels, since he’s only 5’5″.

So why hide their true height? Are they scared of being called little Napoleons?

“Napoleon Complex is when short men overcompensate for being short by being overly aggressive,” said Steven Goldsmith, editor of Short Persons Support. The French emperor has been portrayed in movies such as the eponymous offering of “Napoleon” from 2003 as a feisty little fellow, going down in history as only 5’2″.

There are plenty of examples to back the theory that bears his name. One is former Russian dictator Josef Stalin, blamed for 20 million deaths, who was a mere 5’5″.

In Pyongyang, North Korea, Kim Yong Il’s height is a state secret. But the Cuban heels and bouffant hairstyle he wears aren’t fooling anyone, this leader is only 5’3″.

Now English psychologist Dr. Mike Eslea of the University of Central Lancashire has put the Napoleon Complex to the test, using a little game to measure aggression among tall and short men.

“You’re going to start giving them a little rap on the knuckles as a provocation to see how they react,” Eslea said. The subjects think it’s their dexterity being assessed, but actually it’s their aggression. “On the question of aggression I can tell you that the taller guys were more aggressive,” he said.

So, according to Elsea it’s actually a myth. History, too, provides enough examples to debunk it. Sure Josef Goebbels and Charles Manson were very short. But Saddam Hussein was 6’2″ and Osama Bin Laden, he’s 6’4″.

And it turns out Napoleon was really 5’6″. His enemies claimed he was only 5’2″. Could it have been propaganda?

Body Hack XVI: How To Increase Creativity And Work Output By Transmutating Sexual Energy And Drive

Me: I had stated that I would stay away from writing more about body hacks but it seems that a few guys who read the website seems to really like the body hacks I have posted and have written emails to me about wanting to try some of the techniques and ideas I have talked about. This next one is also quite controversial and is in the subject of sex and mysticism which are two subjects most people don’t talk about so publicly about to other people.

I can honestly say that some of the subjects and stuff I find off of the Bulletproof Executive blog are the coolest most interesting topics and subjects around. As a link to the article, there is also talk about how a woman’s orgasm can be linked to alter states of consciousness, which seems to suggest that the ancient indian and chinese mystics study of tantra which incorporated sex and mysticism as one is not that far-fetched to believe in. Even the scientific experiments these days seem to verify certain experiences the people were going through felt during the moment.

The article below was found from the Bulletproof Executive blog HERE… It is definitely I would suggest the reader to check out. There are just too many cool and good tricks on how to hack one’s body to make it perform as optimally as possible.

How to Use Sex to Perform Better

By Dave Asprey

The link between sex and your performance in life isn’t immediately obvious, but having fewer orgasms could make you a better entrepreneur, at least if you’re a man.

Recent discoveries in brain function suggest that it’s because your hypothalamus – an older part of your brain that controls your basic bodily functions – controls both sex and aggression.

By hacking your sex life, you can influence your motivation. There is a convincing case – backed up by biohacking self-experiments and lots of historical references – that women are happier and perform better when they have more orgasms, and men benefit from far fewer – but longer – orgasms.

The link between sex and aggression

Researchers used a new method of stimulating the brain using fiber optics and light-sensitive injected proteins to specifically trigger a portion of the hypothalamus in male mice. They discovered something shocking:

“[After] A flash of light, the mice transformed from Jekylls into Hydes. They rapidly attacked other mice, whether male, female or anaesthetised. They would even assail an inflated glove.

There was only one way of preventing these violent urges: sex. If the males were actually mounting a female, the bursts of light had little effect…These experiments clearly showed that the act of sex suppresses neurons in the brains of mice that trigger aggression. “

Ok, so men are not mice. But when a man wants to “kick ass” in his next meeting, he might want to skip sex the night – or the week – before, or at least (as the scientists note) the ejaculation.

Boxing coaches and professional athletes have long known this little hack to increase performance before competition. It works for entrepreneurs too. Weight lifters even measure how ejaculation effects weight gain. It’s even on Pubmed!

So why could having less sex, or at least ejaculating less, make you a better entrepreneur (if you’re a man anyway)? Because it will increase your aggression. Aggression isn’t something I seek to cultivate in my quest to be more Bulletproof, but as conscious humans, we can transform that added aggression into energy and productivity, just like Napoleon Hill, one of the first Bulletproof Executives, described in 1938. He wrote a whole chapter in “Think and Grow Rich” dedicated to transforming male sexual energy into productivity. He claims the sex drive is the most powerful force in man. Many men would agree.

Some psychologists call this transformation of sexual energy into productive energy “sublimation.” Where sexual energy, or in some cases other impulses, are consciously transformed into creative and productive acts that drive an individual to create, invent, build, or demonstrate greater intellect or acts of physical prowess . . . usually in favor of enhancing civilization.

Limit yourself to one half hour orgasm per month?

Taoists – some of the original biohackers – also recommend transforming sexual energy into productivity and health. Advanced practices suggest that for optimum power and energy, ejaculation about once a month is the right amount, although they encourage much more frequent sex (without ejaculation.) I’d quote this source, but it’s from an out-of-print very old book by a Czech Taoist master, and I don’t have it in my vast biohacking book collection anymore. Of course, the info is also on Wikipedia.

If you are an advanced Tantric practitioner, is possible to orgasm without ejaculation, but since orgasm and ejaculation come together (ahem) for most men, I use them interchangeably except when otherwise noted.

Those same Taoists recommend that when a man does have an orgasm with ejaculation, he should limit the length of his orgasm to only a half hour. They are talking about just the orgasm, not the entire act! Compare that to your puny 15 minutes, Nicole Daedone! (I wrote about Nicole as a biohacker.)

Being a biohacker, I tested these theories. They are legit. The results were the subject of my talk at the Quantified Self conference in Mountain View, CA last month. Stay tuned, the video will be posted soon!

Real world examples of success when men ejaculate less

At the recent BIL Conference, I spoke with a successful entrepreneur based in LA who runs a popular blog. He told me, “I made the most money and progressed my career the most when I was single and wasn’t ‘getting any.’”

I spoke with a NY Times best selling author about this over dinner while gathering research for this biohack. He asked that I not use his name, but he described a time when he made a deal with his wife that he would not orgasm until he made $250,000, which was a very considerable sum for his family. With that kind of motivation, he achieved the goal in 30 days.

You’ll also see my video on the topic soon. I apologize for not naming names here, but it’s just as hard to find people willing to talk about this as it is to find ones willing to talk about using smart drugs.

What to expect if you try this

For starters, we’re not talking about celibacy or turning into a monk. We’re talking about having an active sex life (ideally with someone else, just saying…) but not ejaculating during the act. This doesn’t work if you’re choosing outright celibacy.

For the average guy, the effect of less frequent orgasms during sex takes about one minute to be annoying and about one day to feel unbearable. After a few days of knuckle-biting frustration, the energy has to go somewhere, and with a little effort, you can turn it into productive energy.

The time to enter a productive zone is a few days, probably longer if you’re under 25 years old. After the initial frustration zone, your performance increases regularly for about 3 weeks then levels out and sustains as long as your self-control can last. The combination of fewer ejaculations with the Bulletproof diet is especially powerful, as a high-healthy fat diet already raises testosterone and puts you in a high energy metabolic mode.

It takes an enormous amount of discipline to do this, obviously. I failed more than a few times while learning to biohack myself to the 30 minute, 30 day goal. The good thing here is that this is one time when failure is entirely pleasant.

More orgasms make women perform better

Nearly all my writing on biohacking in this blog works for both sexes, but in this case the Taoist recommendations for women are very different because, from another source, “A woman’s body uses her orgasm to nourish her body and stimulate vital life qi. She is the receiver (yin) of her partner’s (yang) qi.”

Better yet, women increase their emotional intelligence (EQ) when they have more frequent orgasms. And there is fantastic work from New Scientist about how female orgasm unlocks altered consciousness.

There is also John Gray’s recent work on how oxytocin, the “happy hormone” is formed in women – and orgasm is one of the ways. The pathways are different for men, although men obviously use oxytocin too.

It works better when both partners are in on the game

I’ve come across two women entrepreneurs who have mentioned having massive, life-changing bursts of energy and confidence when they increased their orgasm frequency at the same time their male entrepreneurial partners decreased theirs. (I have no idea why some people entrust me with this type of info, but they do!)

Something else happens to men too – their pheromones change. Do not be surprised if your partner – and random women you meet – find you more attractive than usual. It’s biochemistry.

Male readers of Tim Ferriss’ Four Hour Body book will also find that they can enhance their performance while still practicing Nicole Daedone’s techniques from Tim’s “15-Minute Female Orgasm” chapter. There’s no reason a man shouldn’t help the woman entrepreneur in his life have a higher emotional IQ, as long as he doesn’t… finish.

I dare you to comment on this!

Sex on the brain: Orgasms unlock altered consciousness

Our intrepid reporter performs an intimate act in an fMRI scanner to explore the pathways of pleasure and pain

WITH a click and a whirr, I am pulled into the scanner. My head is strapped down and I have been draped with a blanket so that I may touch my nether regions – my clitoris in particular – with a certain degree of modesty. I am here neither for a medical procedure nor an adult movie. Rather, I am about to stimulate myself to orgasm while an fMRI scanner tracks the blood flow in my brain.

My actions are helping Barry Komisaruk at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey, and colleagues to tease apart the mechanisms underlying sexual arousal. In doing so, not only have they discovered that there is more than one route to orgasm, but they may also have revealed a novel type of consciousness – an understanding of which could lead to new treatments for pain (see Top-down pain relief).

Despite orgasm being a near-universal human phenomenon, we still don’t know all that much about it. “The amount of speculation versus actual data on both the function and value of orgasm is remarkable,” says Julia Heiman, director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproductionin Bloomington, Indiana.

It is estimated that one in four women in the US has had difficulty achieving orgasm in the past year, while between 5 and 10 per cent of women are anorgasmic – unable to achieve orgasm at all. But without precise data to explain what happens during this experience, there are few treatment optionsavailable for women who might want help.

Komisaruk is interested in the time course of orgasm, and particularly when an area of the brain called the prefrontal cortex (PFC) becomes active. The PFC is situated at the front of the brain and is involved in aspects of consciousness, such as self-evaluation and considering something from another person’s perspective.

Komisaruk’s team recently found heightened activation in the PFC during female climax – something not seen in previous studies of the orgasm. Surprisingly, this was also the case in individuals who can achieve orgasm by thought alone. With fantasy and self-referential imagery often reported as being part of the sexual experience, Komisaruk and colleagues wondered if the PFC might be playing a key role in creating a physiological response from imagination alone. That is why I am here.

Komisaruk instructs me to tap my thumb with my finger for 3 minutes, then to simply imagine my finger tapping my thumb for the next 3 minutes as fMRI tracks where blood is flowing in my brain. Immediately after, I follow the same cycle with Kegel exercises – brief squeezes of the pelvic floor muscles – and then clitoral touches. I’m then asked to self-stimulate to orgasm, raising my free hand to indicate climax. Despite the unique situation, I am able to do so without too much trouble.

Over 30 areas of my brain are activated as I move from start to finish, including those involved in touch, memory, reward and even pain (see “Orgasm snapshot”). As Komisaruk expected, the imagined clitoral touches and Kegel exercises activated the same brain areas as real ones, albeit with somewhat less blood flow. The PFC, however, showed more activation when touches and pelvic squeezes were imagined compared with those that werereal. He suggests this heightened activation may reflect imagination or fantasy, or perhaps some cognitive process that helps manage so called “top-down” control – the direct regulation by the brain of physiological functions – of our own pleasure. The team presented their results at the Society for Neuroscience annual conference in San Diego in November 2010.

However, when Janniko Georgiadis at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, and colleagues, performed similar experiments they found that the same brain region “switched off” during orgasm. Specifically, they saw significant deactivation in an area of the PFC called the left orbitofrontal cortex (OFC).

Altered state

Georgiadis argues that the OFC may be the basis of sexual control – and perhaps only by letting go, so to speak, can orgasm be achieved. He suggests this deactivation may be the most telling example of an “altered state of consciousness” and one not seen, as yet, during any other type of activity.

“I don’t think orgasm turns off consciousness but it changes it,” he says. “When you ask people how they perceive their orgasm, they describe a feeling of a loss of control.” Georgiadis suggests that perhaps orgasm offsets systems that usually dominate attention and behaviour. “I’m not sure if this altered state is necessary to achieve more pleasure or is just some side effect,” he says. It is possible that the inability to let go and reach this altered state may be what prohibits individuals with anorgasmia from reaching climax.

There may be a simple explanation for the discrepancies between Georgiadis’s and Komisaruk’s work – they may represent two different paths to orgasm, activated by different methods of induction. While participants in Komisaruk’s studies masturbated themselves to orgasm, those in Georgiadis’s were stimulated by their partners. “It is possible there is a difference between someone trying to mentalise sexual stimulation as opposed to receiving it from a partner,” says Georgiadis. Perhaps having a partner makes it easier to let go of that control and achieve orgasm. Alternatively, having a partner may make top-down control of sensation and pleasure less necessary to climax.

“This kind of research is incredibly useful,” says Heiman. “Orgasm is tied into the brain’s reward system and likely other important systems as well. There is much we can learn about the brain, about sensation, about how pleasure works and probably much more from this one physical response.”

Komisaruk agrees. He hopes to one day use neurofeedback to allow women with anorgasmia to view their brain activity in real time during genital stimulation. The hope is that this feedback may help them to manipulate their brain activity to bring it closer to that of an orgasmic pattern of activity. He also believes that further study of the orgasm – and the PFC’s role – will offer much needed insight into how we might use thought alone to control other physical sensations, such as pain. “There’s a lot of mystery in this one intense human experience that is just waiting to be figured out,” he says.

Orgasm snapshot

Click here to see what Kayt Sukel’s brain looks like at the moment of orgasm. The scan is a sagittal section, essentially a profile shot, that shows one moment in time in different “slices” through the brain.

The coloured dots represent blood flow. Cooler colours show less blood flow and less activation. Warmer colours mean more activation.

You can see from the extent of activity that an orgasm is a whole-brain experience. Activation in the prefrontal cortex (A) is clearly visible, as well as activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (B), thought to be involved in the experience of pain.

Top-down pain relief

The orgasm is a strong analgesic. With brain-activation studies of orgasm showing unique patterns of activation in regions implicated in attention, self-awareness and consciousness, researchers believe its study may also help with the control of pain.

“Orgasm is a special case of consciousness,” says Barry Komisaruk at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey. “If we can look at different ways of inducing orgasm, we may better understand how we can use top-down processing to control what we physically feel.”

People who suffer from chronic pain conditions can be coached to relieve some of their symptoms through such top-down techniques, says Kenneth Casey at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. That is, they can use high-level mental processes to modulate what they feel physically. “The placebo effect is an easy example of practical top-down control. You believe you are taking a pill that will help and somehow it does,” he says. “In my experience, simply telling a patient that the pain they are experiencing is not harmful has an analgesic effect.”

Researchers from Stanford University in California recently showed that individuals were able to control pain by watching real-time activity of a brain area called the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and then mentally adjusting it. The ACC is also activated in orgasm.

A better understanding of what these brain areas are doing in situations of pain and pleasure, Komisaruk argues, may open the door for improved top-down techniques to modulate both.

From the Wikipedia article on Male Control of Ejaculation ….

Male control of ejaculation

Many Taoist practitioners link the loss of ejaculatory fluids to the loss of vital life force: where excessive fluid loss results in premature aging, disease, and general fatigue. While some Taoists contend that one should never ejaculate, others provide a specific formula to determine the maximum amount of regular ejaculations in order to maintain health.^[4] The general idea is to limit the loss of fluids as much as possible to the level of your desired practice. As these sexual practices were passed down over the centuries, some practitioners have given less importance to the limiting of ejaculation. Nevertheless, the “retention of the semen” is one of the foundational tenets of Taoist sexual practice.^[5]

There are different methods to control ejaculation prescribed by the Taoists. In order to avoid ejaculation, the man could do one of two things. He could pull out immediately before orgasm, a method which Joseph Needham termed “coitus conservatus”.^[6] The second method involved the man applying pressure on perineum, thus retaining the sperm. While, if done incorrectly can cause a retrograde ejaculation, the Taoists believed that the jing traveled up into the head and “nourished the brain.”^[7] This method is referred to by some Taoist scholars as “The Million Dollar Point” (reference Mantak Chia), regarding it as either a cheap lesson for income or a backup method, believing that it somehow lessened the loss of “jing” from a full ejaculation. Some modern teachers have come to the conclusion that the method should not be used because of potential dangers.^[8] Another method involves the Taoist to train himself to separate the impulses of ejaculation and orgasmic contraction (the contraction of the pelvic muscles that “pump” the prostate and the ejaculate). By separating these impulses, at the point of orgasm, the man can halt penetration but remain inside his partner, and forcibly clench his pelvic floor (“stunting” the initial prostate contractions), while simultaneously adopting a meditation like “intention” that these Taoists believe redirect not the physical sperm, but the life energy (jing) it contains up the back and to the center of the brain. This way the man will still have an orgasm, but will not ejaculate, and most importantly will not lose his erection. This formula prescribes the man to climb a “ladder” of escalating orgasms in conjunction with the meditation like “intention”, in order to cultivate and store massive amounts of “jing”. If performed successfully the male should have no stagnating pain in the testes, and should have no semen in his urine, as well as the health benefits expected by practitioners^{[citation needed]}. Those that practice this method believe that it is one of the keys to immortality.

Was Zixia And The Qigong Method To Increase Height A Scam? A Convincing Possible Scam Or Legitimate?

Me: This was an entire conversation that i discovered on the Impartial Height Increase Boards by many of its members who claimed that Zixia was a scammer. Now, they do have a very interesting point. First of all, on Zixia’s main blog website she claimed that she was not charging any type of fee or money for her advice on how she managed to grow taller suing her qigong method. Now, if you see from the discussion on the Impartial Height Increase Boards, she states that she IS charging for she advice. She apparently desires (and I quote from her) “$18 for one year personal letter response, as long as you want to write, as many questions as you want to ask. Besides, I prefer you to give me a report once every 2-4 weeks about what you feel…”

In addition, it turns out that if you read her posts on her blog, she was getting financial donations by other people occasionally. She apparently had gotten more than $200 over a span of 4 years for her blog, which is not that much when $200 is distributed across more than 1400 days. However, what is revealed now is that this women was getting money from people on her website as a donation and she was charging people on other height increase forums a fee per year of advice which she never mentioned not he primary blog. This does make me want to trust this person less. Trust is a very big thing for people. We all know that the height increase niche on the internet is 99% all scams which don’t work on people who are adults. Height Increase in general is a crazy dream for nearly everyone who doesn’t want to go through the pain of limb lengthening surgery.

Whether this Zixia person was really genuine and being honest or lying and trying to scam people is something which I don’t want to make an opinion on. All I can do at this point is bring up more information. All I am showing right now is that there are a lot of people who are angry at this women who came on the forums and claims that she has a method and wants to charge people a fee for her method and advice. This was all talked about in 2006. It seems that she has disappeared now and don’t respond to the comments on the old site anymore.

People wanted to get her banned and started throwing out profanity which is something which I don’t like. If she was a scammer, at least she taught a person how to visualize and hypnotize. In the end, for the person who tried it out and got no results, they lost maybe $20 or $40 because she charges $18/ year. If this person is that malicious to prey on the desperation and hope of others she will eventually get what karma intends for her. She did seem legitimate and genuine in her intention, but this new information that comes out makes her seem less honest.

The entire discussion can be found from this link HERE on the Impartial Height Increase Boards.

I think anyone who charges us for anything related to height increased should be banned. I’m tired of Rahul and these others asking us to “pay them” for **** that doesn’t need to be charged for all we know could be bogus. Stop taking advantage of us poor souls.

September 10 2006, 12:48 AM

See Craig, this is kinda what I was talking about….some people are gonna be interested enough to maybe wanna try this, but if we were to delete it now…people would say we weren’t being fair.Years ago, I visited the Far East and I saw a number of amazing things people did with the power of the mind alone….things I could never believe before. Do I go with the idea that it is possible to grow with things such as hypnosis…yeah I do, because some of the credible members say they did. Can I say for a fact that this will work or if this person is legit…I really can’t. Usually, I would just say “outright scam, you can’t charge money without any credibility or results”

Of course, say what you will about Rahul though guys….but of all the people that didn’t grow…they got their money back or he’s still working with them…whatever they prefer. Now, honestly…I’m really not that interested or excited, but if so many people start asking about trying this or something….I might just try it before anyone else does just to tell of my experience, but I’d really have to hear something amazing. Is this just someone having fun or is this person really experimenting….I have no clue as of yet, but it seems a lot of work is going into whatever their doing.

As you guys can tell, I’ve gotten a bit more diplomatic, patient and fair in my “old age”.

I will say this though…..I wouldn’t advise a whole lot of people trying it at once. If just one person is gonna try it….then just wait on them. At this point though, I’m not interested enough to entertain the thought now.

Questions on scams

September 10 2006, 10:34 AM

It looks suspicious all right.Im not saying this is a scam or anything but I want to ask if people actually believe in these products and pay for them?

Craig Jordan

I know what you are all thinking

September 10 2006, 3:23 PM

Your thinking there is a great possiblity that this a scam. Chances are you stomach feeling is right. But questions pop up. Maybe you’re thinking “boy this girl is cheeky, she came into a scam free board knowing that they’re extremely hated.” I would think that too. Someone has obviously got to be crazy to think that just simple exchanging of letters for advice you probably already know or could have extracted out of a free height increase journal. Then again, i’ll try to give this lady the benefit of the doubt. Listen…. There are many coaches out there, most notably Roger simmons, Tony Robbins, and other personal trainers. Yes they’ll had sucessful lives in it, and some have been the recipient of harsh criticsm by being branded conartists. People need motivation to get them through things because they do not have will power to adhere to a monotonous routine day in and day out. So maybe she did bring good intention to this forum because she is just brazen enough to know they are hated. To be honest with you, however, she offers a proposition that not even the most gullible people can buy into. She seems to not be responding a lot so that is also highly suspicious. If she cared about prospects for her clientele base she would have been importuning us like crazy, but it could be vice versa in the same scenario, regardless she still exudes the presense of a typical scammer. I don’t even know how to call this one because she could very well be the answer to all our gripes about our height. First off, i don’t care who you are, it is terrible to charge money for an unfounded method. She would still have to conduct trials on people to gain credibility. Second off, the way she talks in her blogspot seemed to be chimerical and way out there, but there have been anecdotes where people have grown off mind power. Its really hard to call, thats why i would be more than happy to give you the admonishment that this very well could be a scammer who is plenty aware of duping capability on the members of this forum. If anything you must press her for answers, until she either gives up and relinquishes this charade of being the HI guru, or she remains adamant in what she says. Please be careful

ed81

it is a scam!!!!!

September 10 2006, 4:01 PM

Daiosm,Taoism,it all are very interesting Eastern life-philosophies,studying them they can be useful in your daily life,Qi Gong is a way to control,harmonize and even increase your qi (flow),it is practised for medical reasons (curing diseases) and also martial artists after years of training are able to perform some amazing things.(controling their Qi).
(for instance the Shaolin munks)
But the way this girl illustrate all this,(read it again carefully),and charging money for it,i am sure it is a scam,if you are succesfull with a certain method why not post it on this forum for free (at least i would)
it is still always the same,ppl who are out for some easy money,i must admit they are very inventive to make their theory plausible,but ladies and gents of this forum please don’t fall for this,that would be a pity,again you will loose some money and will not grow a mm.

Zixia

My explanation here again

September 10 2006, 4:46 PM

Ok, if you guys read what I wrote before, you would have got my method completely and practice it for free. But you call me many bad names…
I will put all of my knowledge on my blog for free for your guys to read. What I charge is to respond to individual letters for a year,and I predict it is a lot.Do you call Dr. Laura De Giorgio a scammer? I bought her tapes a few years ago to see how hypnosis did the work. Her tapes were noisy and what she said only reached the beginning of my method on no.6. And she did not even tell you how to use her tapes, no personal support…

Does not matter what you say, I am real and I will do what I think is right. I do not have all day long sitting in front of my computer to write on my blog, but gradually I will put more and more there for you to read. Everyone can grow taller, just like all people get shorter when they are old. You should practice whatever you know to get yourself taller before that hits you again.

My academic background is solid, so if you have any discussion on Taoism, write to me, I will respond you historically and scripturally.

Okay,one question,is it true that standing meditation a Qi gong exercise
called in Chinese “Zhang Zhuang”practised for a long time results in HI?Please explain to me the term “Wu Wei”,well don’t on second thoughts Google will give the answer.

Zixia

Re: zixia

September 11 2006, 2:27 AM

When Lao Zi said “wuwei” (no action), he meant two things: things in this world have their own rules (Tao), there is no need for us to take actions in order to make things right. Politically, rulers also should know society has its own rules, so they should not intervene people’s life.However, however, no action does not mean we do not do anything at all (otherwise, a paralyzed person is the best), it means we have to master the Tao in order to understand nature, people, the society, then we know how to take actions. When the world in their right order, we do not need take actions then. If the world is in chaos, that means we made wrong actions, definitely we have to find out what is wrong and correct it.

The later Taoist religion fully developed many many methods to train a Taoist to understand Tao for their purposes. No action is just an appearance when you see a Taoist, he is diligently practicing the method his master teaches him interiorly. If you say wuwei simply explained as “no action” is the center of Taoism, then we have to ignore the Taoist Canon, where you can find all actions.

You brought a good question, reminding me what I thought when I read Daode Jing the first time. I thought suddenly that I could grow taller. Since everything had its Tao, I can do anything I want in this world, nothing can stop me as long as I found its Tao. Tao can guide me to my goal, myself do not need do anything exteriorly eventually. That Tao is Qi (engergy) with guidance of my mind.

ed81

thanks for the answer,it was very instructive and about my other question?

September 11 2006, 5:56 AM

Thanks for the answer,i allready was interested in Taoism and read something about it but your explanation was indeed was very instructive and now my question about “Zuang Zhuang’,practising this and a relation towards HI?
(if there is a relation).

Zixia

About zhanzhuang

September 11 2006, 11:10 AM

Sorry missed your question.
I am not sure what HI is. Height increase?
If you say “standing meditation”, it should be “zhanzhuang”. Zhanzhuang is a way of practice Qigong. It exists in almost all kinds of Qigong practices, such as Hexiang (Crane-fly) Qigong, Xiang (Fragrant) Qigong, Yan Xin Qigong, Zhang Hongbao Qigong, and Falun Gong, etc.
Either standing, sitting, or laying down, practice Qigong (in fact it is another name of meditation) is not fixed on one poise. Multi-way of practices can achieve the best result. But each poise has its own advantages than the others. Standing way is the closest to physical excises, so it relaxes your body and helps the blood circulation. Laying down is for those who practice at night when our body is in the mood to sleep and our mind is in the most quite and alert state. Sitting is in the between. I will mention this point in my explanation of my method soon.

I will say this much, though at this time noone knows hos genuine you or your results really are, you do seem to have a knowledge of what you’re talking about. I mean, when someone pops up out of nowhere and claims to have a method or results….people always think they are some fly by night scammer that will just post and leave….but if you continue to update your site and answer questions…the more people will at least be interested in what you’re doing. Noone here really knows what is going on behind anyone’s else’s computer….and for all we know, you could be completley honest. It’s just that people shouldn’t/can’t make up their minds this quickly. At this time, there really isn’t enough info about you or what you’re doing to justify people paying….at this point. If you do go ahead with all the updates you say and stick around…people will have a better idea.That’s all I’m saying.

So just stick around, answer questions and let us know more about you, your background and exactly what you’re doing. This will make it easier for people to make up their minds.

Tao cannot be understand by rational thinking only by intuition,i read some more about it from Lao Tzu,now i am beginning to think you are trying to link Height Increase to Eastern Philosophy in this case Taoism,it is a clever strategy i must admit,a person,you should know this as well as i do,really devoted to Taoism would not ask for money or acknowledgement.Knowing a lot about it also does mean a thing,there’s is enough information on Internet you can quote from,take my advice Zixia and back off,you just
want to make some money,if you really understood the Tao of money,it would be indifferent to you and you wouldn’t make any attempts to get some,only then it will come to you.(not my wisdom but Lao Tzu’s)

Nice talking to you all and bye

September 11 2006, 10:46 PM

What is intuition and what is rational? When we think we are thinking rationally is because we see some reason causes something else happening many times, so we then can predict something will happen when we see the same cause happens (Since you are so smart, you should know which of your Western philosopher started the theory). The reason we call something happens by intuition because we do not see the link between the cause and result. When you do not see where Tao comes, you do not see where it goes. Once you see…
It is so laughable that you accused me trying to earn money. Anyway, I have decided not to write on this board anymore. For my own privacy, I won’t post my photos and background on my blog at this early stage, but when I feel time is ripe, I will do so.

Stop bastardizing Taoism

September 11 2006, 11:15 PM

To use Taoism in the terms of height increase already shows that she’s a scam. Yes there are many schools of Taoism, but Lao Tsu I’m sure would thing using the “tao” for height increase is laughable. Taoism is more of a philosophy similar (or basically the exact same) as Zen Buddhism. It’s like saying you use buddahism to heal the sick when the true nature of Buddahism has nothing to do with that.I agree with using the mind to grow taller, but let’s not throw in Taoism just to make it sound fancy.

September 11 2006, 11:23 PM

I mean cmon, how ridiculous is that? She can’t even back up her views or defend herself without running away? All that crap she talked about Taoism is nonsense. She’s abusing the philosophy with her own ignorance, claiming she grew taller, and charging people with assistance. Do we think Dr. Laura is a scam? Well she wouldn’t refund my money so yeah I think she is.I think we should continue to put pressure on people and see if they crack. If they do then we can at least know their character. We put pressure on Rahul and he flipped. This person ran away saying she’ll advertise on other boards. We don’t need people like this at all. I’d rather have ProHGH supplement scammers post testimonials than have people like Rahul/Zixlaklsjf come and try to propone methods which could easily not work or make people believe it worked.

Like I said, stop taking advantage of people. We’re here in NEED OF HELP. I think it’s sad that there are professionals or groups out there who charge to “cure” people’s sufferings. If you think about it, it sounds great, then you pay them, but they’re the lucky ones with the big houses and nice cars, while we’re stuck in our ruts asking THEM, with ALL OF THEIR MONEY, for help. I say the best philosophy is to help yourself and when you do, help others for free.

Call that a fair trial?

September 12 2006, 11:10 AM

Basically the scene here looks like Zixialin has been rounded on by a pack of wolves.Okay, many of you are sick to death of scammers, and don’t want to be led by the nose into giving cash for something with no more substance than dreams.

I understand that completely. There are many cut-throats out there who deserve a beating for what they try to make off vulnerable people, but are you sure this is the case here..?

Zixialin is only asking for a ‘fee’ if people want to be personally guided by her. How many martial artist instructors, or even meditation class tutors, have you heard of that offer classes for zero money…? Are they scammers too because they value their time?

Many charity workers get some kind of pay, because bills need to get paid no matter how kind or ‘spiritual’ people are!

If you check her site, she’s giving you the core of the technique away for nothing.

Why not at least try the method, before aggressively lashing out and insulting her? No wonder she’s packed her bags – she isn’t obliged to take that kind of b/s off anyone. Why would she want to help if all she gets back is spite?

Have a look at this clip of what may be a genuine master of the energies the Taoists discuss :

“There are stranger things in this world…”

SD2002

There’s a huge difference

September 12 2006, 1:20 PM

Instructors get paid because they have the goods and have ESTABLISHED themselves. This person hasn’t. All she’s saying is to use your mind power and she’ll help you for a fee. We don’t know if she’s legit or not. Martial arts instructors usually list their credentials and former teachers so you know what you’re getting into. All zlisjlksfj did was say she follows Taoism (which she doesn’t because you don’t follow Taoism to begin with) and that Qi Gong helped make her grow taller.Anyone else find it strange that people who’ve never/rarely posted on these boards before come and defend these strangers?

Pepe_Deluxe

Yes, and there’s a huge difference in what’s being charged too

September 13 2006, 10:54 AM

SD2002:I doubt many dojos/meditation centres would give you a year’s membership for the equivalent of 18 dollars.

Just because someone has no stated formal qualifications doesn’t equate to ignorance. She claims she has studied Taoism (almost obsessively) for many years. Do you know enough about the philosophy to dismiss her so offhandedly? Check here and see if you do:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoism

Your point that she uses the word ‘follows’ implies she’s a scammer is ludicrous; you should be bearing in mind that English isn’t her first language and cut her some slack.

Also purposely mis-typing her name, and generally being very rude when she has only been polite and civil reflects badly on you.

“We don’t know if she’s legit or not.”

Exactly, so why treat her as guilty before you’ve tried a single thing?

I’m not endorsing her method at all, or encouraging people to get up (possibly) false hopes. It could be a swindle, though it would be a very strange one. Also, there’s the possibility she’s mistaken about her height gain (or that it’s somehow come about by some very rare physiological factors); the mind can easily play tricks us sometimes, especially when it comes to the things we want the most.

However, the people on this forum could be here for years trying to find a way to grow taller, so for your own sakes it makes sense to give everything remotely plausible a fighting chance.

Interesting that no-one has so far commented on the clip I linked to. Why’s that I wonder..?

Inexplicable things don’t just happen in the realms of ‘mysticism’ either. Aspects of quantum physics can’t be logically explained, yet nevertheless the theory is almost universally accepted by scientists.

This is a video description of the so-called ‘Observer Effect’, which summed up, basically means that the behaviour of particles can be changed simply by looking at them. :

i once in a demonstration of a Tai-Chi master was swept away for 6 M
with a slight touch of his hand,although very amazing but these still are laws of nature,it was a nice guy he explained to me that through years of meditation he was capable of doing this by controlling his qi,(universal energy,present in everything).I agree with SD2002 out of the blue a girls enters this board with some vaque pronouncements about Taoism we know nothing about her credentials and she start charging a certain amount,c’mon man who will fall for this.

I happen to know something about Taoism and Daoism and the way she explained about Tao,the difference (in a thread to me) between rational thinking and intuition made her loose her credibility (IMO).Besides i think it is objectionable to charge money on a forum like this,if you really want to help them with some knowledge or whatever do it for free or leave.

Zixia

Re: Pepe_Deluxe

September 13 2006, 4:20 PM

I am back for the saying “There are more than meets the eye”.
You just gave me your arbitrary conclusion with no further explanation. What is the “laws of nature” from the Taiji master that you understand so well? How absurd is it to you about my explanation? If Qi can push outer thing away without seen the Qi, why you can not understand it can perform inside? Have you ever practiced Qigong? Have you ever felt the move of your Qi? Have you ever sit in a class to listen to a Qigong teacher’s explanation?
Since you know something about Taoism, how many Taoists have your visited? How many mountains have you climbed in China? How many temples have your done research on? How many scriptures have you read? Why did Zhang Daoling start his Five Bushel Rice Taoist Sect? What happened to him? Why East Jin was full of Taoist pursuers? Why did Buddhism and Taoism have some many arguments and agreements? Why did Tang respect Taoism? Why did Quanzhen sect become so popular? How did Taoist Canon become into being? What is the central theme of Taoism? Taoism is abstract theories or it does care our normal people’s daily life and ultimate concern. Furthermore, why did Taoist scriptures full of discussion on the connection between our inner body and exterior world? What is the function of Sun and Moon to Taoist? What is the function of meditation in Taoism? What things Taoists claimed they can do in the scriptures?
How did I loose my credibility? Give me your explanation on what rational thinking and intuition is.
I just start spreading my story, and came across your board. I am not a fan or iron member of your board. I do not see anything wrong that I charge some for those who want to get my personal training. I will spend time and use what I have learned to guide people through their difficulties. I am not a fairy yet, you may now some economic rules. Oh, you are a Kyokushinkai-Karate, why don’t you send it to me since you are so generous.

September 13 2006, 5:23 PM

First of all English is not my native language (i am from Europe),so sorry for the mistakes and i hope you understand everything i post.
Read my thread carefully please,the Tai-chi master who swept me away like a little kid (i am 90kg)explained to me that he just used the laws of nature,
he explained something about Qi to me,also that everybody is capable of doing this,but only by long meditation and exercise,so it only is achievable for a few ppl.I never posted that i understand very well how qi works,who really knows?,of course there is more then meets the eye,viruses,bacterium,electricity,magnetic fields etc but it all is part of nature allthough we are not always able to understand it all,like a famous scientists once said,the more we learn,the more we discover how little we know.About rational thinking and intuition,the reason why we call something happen by intuition is we cannot see the link between the cause and the result,i do not agree with you entirely,intuition it is a kind of knowing without a rational explanation,it comes from a far deeper level of your mind,it can manifest itself in a lot of ways,for instance it can give you a presentiment about dangerous situations(which i experienced once myself)
I practise Zen-meditation,because it gives me a good and relaxed feeling,
also some Qi Gong exercises (experimenting a bit),i noticed,i must admit,it gives me more energy and increases my vitality,whether i experienced my Qi flowing,sometimes i have weird but not unpleasant sensations in my body,
don’t know if that is a manifestation of Qi,maybe i need some guidance.

Later in another thread i will give comment on your questions about taoism and daoism,otherwise this thread is going to be very long.

One thing about Kyokushin-Karate i don’t understand your last phrase,what do you mean by sending it to me?????

What is Tao?

September 13 2006, 8:48 PM

There are two kinds of Tao and both Tao happens to be completely different. Though they happen to have only one English name which is Taoism.One is the Tao of Philosophy or “Tao jia/qia”(the pronounciation is a bit of both) and the other the Tao of Religion or “Tao Jiau”(Pronounced Tao Ji-A-u). Tao of philosophy and Tao of religion are names I created.

Tao of philosophy speaks on taking a larger world perspective rather than the narrow selfish human perspective. Its about giving up our own dominion towars the world, taking the stance that we are the world we live in rather than putting up a barrier between us and the world.

Tao of religion is about worshipping some demons, complicated rituals, ideas of afterlife etc. They are particularly fixed on methods of living forever or immortality. In chinese movie, they are the ones in weird yellow clothes, holding chimes in their hands and drinkin alcohol and spewing them onto candle. Of course, not all of you might have seen these.

Qi gong is unrelated to the above two Tao so Don’t mix them together again!! though they are often mistakenly taken to be the same…

In order to achieve anything valuable, you have to put effort on. But with better method, focus, personal willingness, the path can be quicker. A right teacher is important, that is my role for those who want to grow taller with my method, I can find out what the pitfalls they are in on time.”intuition it is a kind of knowing without a rational explanation,it comes from a far deeper level of your mind,it can manifest itself in a lot of ways,for instance it can give you a presentiment about dangerous situations”, you did not even explain what is called rational explanation, no a clear logic mind to see here. I could easily explain why you felt like that by my explanation.

You can either say Taoism or Daoism, there is no Taoism and Daoism. And you can not explain all of my questions in another thread since I wrote quite a few thesis on some of the questions.

After all I learned those ancient, modern practices, theories in order to find out a solution for myself: how to grow taller. I found it and that is it.

September 14 2006, 2:45 PM

A rational explanation makes acting of human beings understandable from reason not influenced by a causal explanation.Is this understandable for you?There sure is something like Daoism and Taoism religious (without dogma’s or maybe with dogma’s)and philosophical way to look upon life in general (maybe the wisdom really comes from the East).There is a paralel between Quantum physics and Eastern philosophy.

Though you apparently got quite some knowledge about these subjects really doesn’t mean a thing,is it integrationed in your life?reading your threads i doubt it,can you control your Qi?,the way you illustrate your knowledge is the same as learning karate just out of a book.
Well,reveal your secret after your long and profound study to us how to achieve HI,being so anxious to help ppl,you without doubt will do it for free.

About my black belt,like the late Bruce Lee said “it only useful to keep up one’s trousers”,i have’n just learned to fight in the dojo but also in the streets and bar’s,being able to break some tiles and having a black belt is not that important allthough i must admit it is useful to master some karate in a fight (from my own experience and not in the gym)if you like want my belt put your adress on this board and i’ll send it to you.

Science/Qi/Paranormal

September 14 2006, 6:09 PM

ed81:Quantum theory may involve lots of speculation, but the strange, and seemingly impossible effects it throws out are certainly happening over and over in strict lab conditions.That’s why it’s the biggest foundation, even more so than standard classical (Newtonian) physics, of science right now.

It may turn out that there is yet another unseen force in addition to the four fundamental forces currently known (i.e. strong force; electromagnetic force; weak force; and gravitational force) that would account for particles having their properties and behaviour altered so mysteriously. Maybe there are several forces waiting to be uncovered. It might be the case that these unknown variables have something to do with our consciousness. And that would have strong implications for so-called ‘mind over matter’…

Who knows when that knowledge (whatever it turns out to be) will appear on the horizon, but the day will surely come.

Interesting story about the Tai Chi master who sent you flying. But as Zixia indicates – wouldn’t that by itself indicate a ‘bending’ of the accepted laws of nature? And if you can accept *that*, then why is accepting the possibility of affecting change within oneself (surely a more straightforward task than affecting someone *else*) too much to swallow?

I was doing a little digging on the ‘yin/yang master’, John Chang, shown in the very first link I put up here, and found this place:

http://www.wongkiewkit.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-289.html

There is someone calling themselves ‘darkrider’ who seems to be playing a subtle joke on everyone (quite funny in a way if you don’t take things too seriously), but things get a lot more interesting way down when ‘3rdlevelMoPai’ posts on the 10th August 2006. There’s a lot to wade through, and I’ve only read fragments, but it will be of interest to those curious about what advanced martial arts practitioners are alleged to be capable of doing with ‘Qi’.

I don’t know what you mean about “the way she explained about Tao, the difference (in a thread to me) between rational thinking and intuition made her loose her credibility (IMO).” Which post are you referring to?

Ok, you and others want the goods for free. Alright, I now see the forum does say in the small print that this place is supposed to be about free stuff, but hmmm….Zixia is giving away most of the method on her blog, and appears to be charging only for a refinement of some kind with guidance for a year bundled in. 18 dollars for several inches of height would be the sale of the century, but let’s ask her about this…

Zixia :

– Is it possible to grow any with what you’ve posted on your blog already?

– If so, what sort of time frame (period) for this growth could people expect?

– What finally ‘clicked’ when you were 22 after many years of practising Qi Gong etc, and why do you think it took so long to get to that point?

– Did other people remark to you that you looked taller? 3 inches in a year for a 22 yr old girl would be pretty hard to miss!

– How can you be confident it will work for others? Have you tried your method with anyone else you know?

I’m asking these sorts of questions in a friendly fashion of course, but stuff like this should be addressed as some people can get bitterly disappointed when they don’t get the type of results expected. Having hopes raised, then dashed against the rocks is a terrible experience.

Finally, here is a clip from Google Video that I found searching under ‘telekinesis’. Lots of way out stuff on this place – some of surely bogus, but some it…..hmmm….very peculiar indeed.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4957790045041805261&q=telekinesis

I wonder if these young subjects are manipulating a force analagous to ‘Qi’? That’s assuming it’s not a clever fake…

ed81

But so what?Just what is your point?

September 14 2006, 10:22 PM

Is it so hard to read a thread,the Tai-Chi master himself admitted he used just laws of nature,it is not a matter of bending the laws of nature,but discover something new about nature and apply it,(if it allready was discovered thousands of years ago in another culture) or of a more recent period doesn’t matter.Same about Quantum theory,new theories,new discoveries from our point of view,but nature has always been the way it is,it will never change,human mankind will always try to understand it,this probably can go on for centuries and centuries.
But so what?Just what is your point?

Pepe_Deluxe

Re: But so what?Just what is your point?

September 15 2006, 4:23 AM

My point was that what happened to you, i.e. that master using his ‘Qi’ resulting in you being “swept away for 6 M with a slight touch of his hand” would be labelled as ‘impossible’ by conventional thinking; just as using ‘Qi’ (or inner energy/whatever people want to call it) to ‘grow taller’ would be labelled as ‘impossible’ also. It should be pretty clear what I mean.Basically what I’m saying is, we don’t yet know enough about the ‘laws of nature’ to definitively rule out so-called impossible acts, and should therefore keep an open, but critical, mind.

ed81

you have got a concept for growing taller Reveal it to us,same amount?

September 15 2006, 6:48 AM

What is labelled as impossible by conventional thinking depends of the culture you live in amongst other’s,conventionel thinking is (IMO) not a standard.In China Qi is a well known phenomenon used to cure ppl (in their concept of medical science,of course)to improve’s one’s health and also it is just used in practising martial arts,but it (Qi is allready there)it’s proven,it doesn’t meet the eye but so does electricity.Of course nature still withholds a lot of secret’s for us,we always will keep trying to reveal those secrets,keep an open and critical mind also is a healthy mental attitude,what you really trying to make clear on this forum is that you have got a concept for growing taller derived from Eastern Philosophy just like Zixia,well reveal it to us.Same amount?

Pepe_Deluxe

I have a concept for growing taller and want to make money here? Eh, do I..?

September 15 2006, 11:53 AM

Heh, you’ve made quite a quantum leap of assumption there haven’t you? Yes.If I wanted to sell a system on here, it’s bizarre I didn’t start my own thread and spoke out against the ill-treatment of a ‘competitor’.

No money sought here. No system. Me, I’m just curious to hear more details from Zixia. She doesn’t fit the profile of a typical scammer if you read between the lines. She writes as if she’s genuinely passionate about Taoism and how it relates to the potential of Qi energy, and probably has spent a lot more time than anyone on here studying and practising it. If it’s all a lie, it would be an incredibly devious one, and would go against the philosophy she says she’s grown up (no pun intended) with.

On ‘conventional thinking’. Well, let’s say ‘conventional thinking in the West’ then. However, would the majority of Eastern people necessarily believe your own experience with the Tai Chi master? I don’t know, maybe they would, but then maybe they would believe the ‘miraculous’ feats allegedly witnessed in other masters across the East, such as creating fire in bare hands, levitation, bullet stopping, and healing normally incurable conditions, were quite possible with the right amount of technique and practise too.

Where is the hard ‘proof’ of Qi? It can’t be scientifically isolated and used in homes like electricity to power your internet connection, but many would still swear it exists.

Maybe Zixia can show some quotes from Taoism/Qi Gong texts that lend support to the idea that the body can be altered using the kind of techniques she talks about. It seems far-fetched, but then I’ve seen things with my own eyes that would sound far-fetched.

I’m sceptical like you, but I’m open to being persuaded there might be something in all of this.

ed81

if you have so much trust in Zixia’s method,well have a go for it

September 15 2006, 3:31 PM

I allready told you about the Chinese concept of medical science,in China
you see in the early morning a lot of ppl practising Tai Chi,trying to harmonize their Qi flow for improving their health (allthough from origin Tai Chi is a martial art).Prove of The facts that Qi really works was once given by Chinese doctors to operate a patient without Narcosis,just using Acuapunture,Western medicans who whitnessed all this were astonished.

If you have so much trust in Zixia’s method,well have a go for it,let us know about the results.We are very curious.

ed81

why so much trouble promoting Zixia’s method,are you two working together?

September 15 2006, 3:34 PM

Re: why so much trouble promoting Zixia’s method,are you two working together?

September 15 2006, 8:47 PM

Yes, I admit it, we’re partners in crime here.Actually, we’re married and have a third child on the way, and to make sure both us and our beautiful, talented children live in the lap of luxury, we’ve scammed up half the net with the craziest **** you wouldn’t believe!

All of the fittings in our country estate dwelling are 24k gold, and we all have a personal assistants to cut our toenails. Even our cat (Frederico The Third) has a personal groomer and outfitter. The toilet is made of solid jade.

My real name is Rahul, and hers is Jennifer.

Now…

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!

Lol, paranoia seems to have got the better of you now it’d seem. I don’t know where you get promoting from. All I’ve done is point out that maybe there’s a chance Zixia isn’t spinning some fancy fairy tale just to make her shopping trips last longer.

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll notice I’ve asked her some challenging questions in the hope we’ll all get a better handle on what’s happened with her. Thus far no-one has lost a single dollar here [well, no-ones complained about it if they have], so I find all the effort you are putting into giving her the bum rush (<slang for dismissal, for those who don’t know) a bit puzzling…

Especially since looking back I see you wrote this :

“but it is possible to achieve HI with other Qigong exercises, who knows,i won’t exclude it.”

Let her speak some more if she hasn’t been put off by all the negativity on display.

ed81

no need to get so smart,ppl who really want to help doesn’t charge any money

September 16 2006, 2:51 PM

No need to get so smart,it has nothing to do with paranoia,we have got a lot of bad experiences with scammers on this forum,i indeed wrote (i read that somewhere in a book about Qi Gong)and practised this exercise that a certain exercise named standing like a three,stretches the spinal column,collect your Qi in your Dan Tien,a area a couple of cm’s behind your navel,makes you stand firm and has a positive effect on your health,it however can take some years before any HI is achieved.(in my case nothing happened,allthough with my height (1.74) it is not a big problem for me)Standing firm was my goal.Zixia can speak as much as she want,but she must be able to take some critical remarks,if she cannot she not worth paying further attention to.
You have’n been put off by a critical approach,it is not meant personal,
forum-members always will be suspicious when somebody asks for money,on one hand Zixia is very anxious to help ppl with height problems,on the other hand she charges money for it that is a bit contradictory,don’t you think?

I won’t delete your posts because i agree with Joey’s (forum-owner) policy,
it wouldn’t be fair cause forum-members might be interested but personal
i think it is a lot of crap,somebody who really wants to help doesn’t charge any money.

usa00

i agree with ed 81

September 16 2006, 5:33 PM

why not just share everything for free. Too many people, have gone through too much frustration and wasted a lot of their hard earned money on crap.On the one hand I could understand wanting to make money and if u have some breakthrough product that guarantees people growth of a certain number of inches or something well then i can understand. But we’re talking about something that only zixalin has experienced results with, share with everyone else on here, then we’ll find out if it really works.

If one day i found the way to grow taller, i’d copywrite/patent it (so no one could profit from it monetarily) then id share it with everyone on the forum. That’s the honest to god’s truth. Ive been on these forusm too long. And its getting ridiculous with scammers and people popping on and saying i grew with my method, and not sharing any more details and then people asking a million questions and the guy (or girl) never comes back.

Zixalin just share it, how much money do u think ur actually gonna make? Ur just coming off as greedy.

SD2002

They definitely are in cahoots

September 16 2006, 10:39 PM

I’ve never seen Pepe on this board until zixia posted. And he’s ULTRA defensive of her. They try to play it to make us agree with their point of view (typical salesman gig) to try to get us to buy. At least Rahul gave people free trials.Like I said, I was critical of the way she was using Taoism in terms of height increase but she is probably more interested in the religious sect that spawned later that really doesn’t relate to the original philosophy. The problem is she’s acting like her method is guaranteed to make people grow taller, even though:

A: she doesn’t have any test subjects or loyal people to this board to practice on to see if she’s legit
B: doesn’t realize we can be doing this all for free, all she has to do is point us to reference sites.
C: she couldn’t handle the heat, leaves, then returns to CONTINUE to get us to believe.

Like I said, people on here have been scammed before and they don’t like being scammed over and over. Sales people who buck under the pressure the first time seem less credible. I believe that her methods COULD lead to height increase, but it’s all mental. I could meditate on growing taller and it would be just as effective than her method. I don’t like the way she’s charging for tips.

Zixia

I have no secret and all I say is

September 17 2006, 2:16 AM

including Pepe, your questions are so silly since I answered them in my blog if you read. Well, except one, my friends commented my height a lot, especially my classmates in middle and high school. My parents were amazed by me. Some of my friends asked me how I did it, which was one of the reasons I finally thought to open a blog.
The reason I charge is so clear and I do not know why you people here are so fussy about it. How many people do you think I can guide in a year? If I have too many people come to ask me, I will raise the fee in fact.
Finally, I have no secret. I am gradually explain everything on my blog for you for free. The only little bit left is for those who want to further study with me. I put that part here in the past, what happened then? I need respect my own work at least a little bit.
I believe there are many ways to grow taller, mine is just one of many and you should again use as many as you can in order to get the result.
My method is not just for growing taller, if you keep on practicing, you will find this is a threshold for you to open the door to see the world you have never experienced. I will explain this in my blog later of course.

ed81

including Pepe?i don;t think so,but…..

September 17 2006, 7:27 AM

Are you as the Buddhist call it an enlightened person?As practioner of Zen i know you easily can be the victim of illusions created by your own mind,how beautiful they may be,but about your inner state of mind i cannot judge of that.But beside that Zixia,everybody reading your threads on this forum
will probably sent a thread to you and finding some candidates you can give it a go,i gave my opinion,but in fact (i must admit)my opinion is not that important,cause every forum-member has his (her’s)own responsibly and
can make their own decisions,so we’ll see how this develops.

You are extremely irritating? Why do you have to act as if you know everything and be so critical of others? I’m not saying this chinese girl is right, but at least please don’t give such assinine all-knowing condescending comments

Craig Jordan

hey ******* named jennifer lynae

September 17 2006, 3:30 PM

You’re just a joker, we know you’re not the original jennifer lynae because of your damn ip address, you’re really pissing me and other forum members off. And please, if you’re going to use big words to put emphasis on how silly everything spell “asinine” right, will ya? Just get the **** off the damn forum, because you suck ass. I’m still waiting for your naked pics by the way, i don’t want them by the way, because i know you’re a guy masking yourself as this annoying girl. Ed could you please just get joey to ban *******s like jennifer lynae, she is a super bitch. This is the kind of stuff i’m talking about.

Jennifer Lynae

You too

September 17 2006, 3:39 PM

You too should watch your mouth, instead of speaking in such a condescending manner just like an American who doesn’t watch her mouth. Just watch your mouth and don’t let it talk rot which doesn’t make sense

ed81

why a questionmark behind irritating?

September 17 2006, 5:04 PM

Read my threads well,Jinsee,i am just critical against ppl who want to make money on those forum,they also are critical against me,that is no problem for me,cause for clearness sake it is not that bad,again read all the threads well and stop moaning.My last post to Zixia was quit reasonable,allthough when Pepe stops posting,she(he)starts again,perfect timing (i don’t know who is who and i am not interested too),but this girl or boy can have a go on this forum if she (he) wants,if candidates are available,isn’t that marvellous?Don’t
hope too many forum-members will fall for this.

I agree with Craig,stop using the word assinine,it a bit out of proportion.

SD2002

Zixia, either post pics of proof that you grew or take a hike

of your web-site,i know what you look like (a young girl of sixteen years old,claims to be a twenty year old doctor from Singapore),i also know you are a very poetic girl,but why harassing this forum?Another question Kewl asked about your HI methods,why didn’t you give him a response?

September 17 2006, 8:21 PM

it is just another prankster venting their frustration out on innocent people in an tranquil forum, they do this type of stuff to stir up controversey. They are no worse than a bunch of people who commit terrible acts of crime, because they are insensitive and downright stupid. This jennifer lynae girl is one of the most unintelligent people i have ever had the displeasure of ever encountering, she only has a few words in her lexicon like “asinine” and “condescending” and she is totally nonsensical. I couldnt really tell you about the other one, because she sounds sincere, but she does look like she is using taoism and other -isms as a gimmick to attract people into thinking that it works better that way. Honestly ed81, it is better to delete this thread.

ed81

craig

September 17 2006, 8:39 PM

No, Zixia is the girl who claims she can make ppl grow with Qi Gong exercises she wrote a lot about Taoism, Jennifer also claims she has got some unique methods to achieve HI,but nobody really know what kind of methods(has something to do with the spine),there soon will come an evaluation according to her,Joey’s policy is to give everybody a fair chance,because there always might be some forum-members interested,it wouldn’t be fair and democratic towards them to delete the posts,i agree,but after a while when establishing the fact that it is not really a contribution to this forum,you still can delete the whole bunch.We’ll see what is going to happen.

Pepe_Deluxe

No need to get so touchy ed81!

September 18 2006, 2:17 PM

Can’t you take a little mild humour? After all, you think it’s perfectly fine to go about firstly implying Zixia is a scammer on virtually no basis at all.THEN imply I’m deceptively adding to this thread in some bizarre round about way of making money.

THEN indicate I’m in league with Zixia and trying to con everyone too.

You mysteriously come to the latter conclusion by pointing out that one of us posts, then the other posts at some other time…. Is this some kind of new logical reasoning system I’ve yet to hear about? Makes zero sense to me!

All this finger pointing isn’t ‘personal’? You need to think more before you type is what I think.

“on one hand Zixia is very anxious to help ppl with height problems,on the other hand she charges money for it that is a bit contradictory,don’t you think?”

Wasn’t this clear the first time around? No, it is NOT contradictory. Plenty of people charge for a multitude of services, while still wanting to help others. This includes so-called ‘amateurs’/people with no formal qualifications too. Knowing how babyish and pestering people can be when they want something, she could easily spend up to half the day sat in front of the screen answering pointless mails if she offered individual guidance for free. Moreover, she’s kept telling you *she’s giving away the technique away for nothing in her journal updates*. Only 1 on 1 guidance comes with a price tag.

So gracious of you not to delete my posts when you’ve got absolutely no excuse to do that anyway – thanks

SD2002:

You’re more in need of an attitude improving forum than one for height. Seriously, you are one obnoxious hombre, and clearly think you’re a lot smarter than you actually come across as.

“They try to play it to make us agree with their point of view (typical salesman gig) to try to get us to buy”

Gee, who would have thought that salesmen try to get people to buy things?? Look, here come the FBI – they are crying out for men like you dude!

Listen up ‘Mulder’ : Zixia has made it clear more than once she’s charging only for the nannying service, not the method [Jeez, how obtuse can people be…? To infinity it seems]. Me, I’m only interested in getting the truth out of this, and giving people a chance to be heard, instead of watching them ganged up on and bullied by rude, self-appointed ‘know-alls’. Did it occur to you that not everyone who visits here posts? That there may well be people out there too shy to write but want to hear more about the ideas people talk about?

Because you haven’t seen me before, that makes me ‘in’ on this ‘fraud’? Not that I have to explain myself to the likes of you, but I’m not in the other threads because mostly I’m not interested in sweating like a pig for a year to get half a cm to be excited about, or paying hundreds of dollars for dodgy sounding, non-safety passed powder from strange sounding people on the other side of the world.

You’d think you owned this place by the way you act.

As for Craig Jordan, I’m not even going to bother apart from saying I hope for his sake he’s no more than 14, because that’s how old he sounds.

Guess you ‘clued-up’ guys reckon even the moon landings were a big conspiracy, eh? Maybe even that the world is secretly ruled by super-advanced E.T. intelligent lizards posing as humans too…

Seriously, ease off on the weed or whatever else it is that’s causing this laughable borderline pathological suspicion – it’s getting very stale now.

Zixia:

You include me in those asking ‘silly questions’, eh? Well, so much for my being “ULTRA defensive” of you!

I don’t see what you mean though. Thought I was being reasonable.

To recap with added explanation:

Q. “Is it possible to grow any with what you’ve posted on your blog already?”

Ok, there is a part in your blog that says,

‘No matter how old you are, measure your height, then follow my simple and unique way of breath for half an hour, then measure your height again. I will prove you that you will grow taller a little bit in this half an hour.’

A little bit can’t be counted, since small discrepancies in measuring will surely arise.
________________________

Q.”If so, what sort of time frame (period) for this growth could people expect?”

Yes, you describe your growth, but as you point out, you’d ‘built up’ your Qi level for many years. Most here will have no such background.
________________________

Q. “What finally ‘clicked’ when you were 22 after many years of practising Qi Gong etc, and why do you think it took so long to get to that point?”

Well, I checked again, and I can’t really see any indication of why it suddenly all fell into place in just 1 year.

________________________

Q.”How can you be confident it will work for others? Have you tried your method with anyone else you know?”

A reasonable question! It might have been useful to trial it on someone else in your life before going public, just to be absolutely sure it wasn’t some big-time weirdo coincidence.

You better leave this forum,don’t know what you are up to (what is exactly your contribution to this forum,still haven’t find out yet)critizing everybody,but gradually you are getting a bit tiresome,creating a lot of anxiety on this board,irritating ppl with silly remarks about ET intelligent lizards etc,it’s all a bit childish,this thread reveals more about you then other forum-members if you go on like this you better take a hike.

Ease of the weed is quit insulting,(i overread it at first)you can apologize for that,if not,then it was your last post.

Zixia

Pepe	September 19 2006, 10:58 PM

I have been busy and no time to check this board in the last few days. I admit that I should not include you in those asking “silly questions”.Q. “Is it possible to grow any with what you’ve posted on your blog already?”

A. It has been proven again and again in Qigong class I studied, age was not a problem to
have one’s finger to grow longer in a few mintues. So I conclude people can grow taller, effort, time, and determination are the matter.

Q.”If so, what sort of time frame (period) for this growth could people expect?”

A. You are right, my background is different from those with no knowledge about Qigong. But I still believe one year is a good time frame. People’s nature is different, some can grow faster than others, and the background is not that important. I will explain this in my blog later.

Q. “What finally ‘clicked’ when you were 22 after many years of practising Qi Gong etc, and why do you think it took so long to get to that point?”

A. I graduated from college in 2002 and moved to another city. I felt everything was fresh and I need a real life in the new year.

Q.”How can you be confident it will work for others? Have you tried your method with anyone else you know?”

A. To be simple, the confident is from the idea that human beings are guided by our mind, only because our mind is fixed, our body is fixed. Once our mind changes, our body will follow. I have not tried with anyone else completely.

I am posting my method on my blog, anyone can try it from reading it. There is no coincidence, I see the cause and effect.

BTW, ed81 claimed himself as practioner of Zen and know I easily can be the victim of illusions created by my own mind. First of all, I like to hear how Zen Buddhism defines what illusion is. Then you will find out what I have said does not fit that catogory. And I do not like you to label me as being in illusion by guessing what I may say or think.

ed81

zixia

September 20 2006, 4:20 AM

Being a practioner of Zen is nothing special everbody can do it,you just want definitions of everything,problem with you is you are (IMO)much too rational (that is exact what most Eastern philosophies reject).(by the way Zen is very hard to describe,but very simple to practise,but also very difficult)Again read my thread well,i also posted “but about your inner state of mind,
i cannot judge of that”,didn’t you read that?

Gradually it is time to reveal something of your blog,as you posted before,
we all are very curious.

Of course when the mind changes the body will follow, but to apply this on such a complicated bio-chemical process of growing,a lot is possible but beyond certain limits,for instance ppl in a hypnotic trance can do unbelievable things,but not get taller.

ed81

Sorry Zixia,forgot to answer you question in the wright way

September 20 2006, 9:55 AM

Illusion is the blindness to be imprisoned by what one considers as the truth,in this state of mind one will not be susceptible anymore,Zen is all about awareness and susceptibility.(always keep an open mind).

September 20 2006, 4:33 PM

hi. im female 5ft 2, u have given me some great advise before and was wondering if you could help me out in this one. seen as i am short i always wear high heels. i know in the long term it is not good for a womens posture, however do u think it still could be possible for me to gain at least an inch in 1 year from doing stretches, but still wearing heels when im out and about. i know you’re not a woman but u are so knowledgable thats why i thought if i could ask you.
please reply back
thanks

ed81

Re: to ed81. urgent!!

September 20 2006, 6:35 PM

How much height somebody will gain after doing stretching exercises is alas not predictable,it differs from person to person,even genes play a role.(i take it your bones are fused).
The only thing i can advise you is go for it,experiment with different methods like Yoga,stretching,Inversion or hanging from a bar,i just read a post from SD2002 that Pilatus can be very effective too,i daily take Glucosamine and chondroitine,also read the other threads for some good tips,and take a look at www.easyheight.com.Good luck with it.(it is not bad for a woman to be short,my wife is not much taller,or am i wrong?).

SD2002

Yeah do Inversion, hang from a bar, Yamuna, sulfate, ect

September 21 2006, 12:04 AM

We’ve posted a lot of stories of people growing from all these things. Check out www.easyheight.com for more on inversion which should get you inspired. Short girls = sexy, why oh why do ladies want to be so tall?!?

Zixia

ed81	September 21 2006, 12:33 AM

First of all, if you check carefully either Zen Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, Huayan Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism. To have a clear definition on what your are talking about is one of the most important things in each religion or philosophy. Otherwise, we can not continue our conversation since we may talk about different things even though we use the same term. Of course the definition is not the way we usually use as after Industrial Revolution time.
Second, what you said what illusion quite different from Zen Buddhism, you may see here:Bonno (Japanese) desires, illusion; mental functions which trouble the mind, passions, false views. “Desires are natural; they become bonno when there is attachment.” (Deshimaru, Questions to a Zen Master). “Desire itself is natural and is harmful or misleading only when we cling to or resist it.” (Deshimaru, The Zen Way to the Martial Arts). (You can keep on reading more, and more terms here, hehe http://www.yakrider.com/Buddha/Zen/zen_terms.htm)

For our agreement, here is more to read for you if you have not read what illusion is in Zen. http://sped2work.tripod.com/AllThingsZen.html

(Well, I am not a total web girl. I can give you a booklist on Zen Buddhism if you need.)

Illusion and Tao have something similar that is Tao is everywhere, therefore you can actually find it and do what you want, on the other hand, we are in illusion therefore once we find the causation we can make the difference.

I am not that rational and do not need you to explain every term. But what you said does not have solid ground, and most likely is from your assumed Zen thinking.

Second, since you can not judge my inner state of mind, I suspect you can say that I may be in illusion. Especially I said that my method is a threshold for more things to find out. I have not written on this point yet.

Either getting taller by my method or not is not guaranteed to everyone, but I see the potential to everyone. That is why I am writing more on my blog for you to judge.

Let’s forget for a while the whole story of the Chinese or Japanese historical background,different schools etc,because it all comes back to the same:Also a little story: A man from coming out of the crowd asked a Zenmaster Ikkyu: What is the greatest wisdom?,the Zen-master wrote down Awareness,the man asked :Only that?,don’t you want to add something? The zen-master again wrote down and now two times awareness,The man got agitated and spoke;i cannot discover not much wisdom in what you keep writing down,the Zen-master again wrote down now three times awareness,the man now desperate
called:but what does awareness mean?The Zen-master friendly answered:Awareness means awareness.For me this story was quit revealing,cause real awareness as practised in Zen-meditation is really the key,in a way it has nothing to do with Buddhism,Christianity,it gives more insight in the way we function with our attachments,fears joys,etc from that insight (sometimes)we can obtain spiritual freedom,a Koan is useful because it is meant to clear away all existing ways thinking-patterns and expectations,the solution is not in rational thinking,so after a while students dicover from a new insight that there are no real hiding places in the spirit.In furthers stages pupils are often referred by their master like:forget Zen,forget Buddha forget everything,all these thinking-patterns about these subjects all inhibit the spiritual development,i can understand this now.

Thanks for the offer,but i allready read a lot of books about Zen (before i started) (Mr Suzuki)amongst other’s,about Zen-Buddhism,also read Krishnamurti,i read about Occultism,Ayurveda,i am just
interested in a lot of things,also in how to hack a computer,but that is quit something else.

One question,with your knowledge,insight,how can being a bit on the short side disturb you,one would think at your level of mental development it
doesn’t play a role anymore.For a lot of men(including myself)short girls are charming).

Re: zixia

September 23 2006, 2:49 AM

ed81, finger growing is true and only when you were there in class, could you be quietly accept it, it was just so easy. Unlike people here looking for HI, most people I encounter do not care their height in Qigong class, they want to become healthier, smarter, or more spiritual. I don’t really know what they want, but to have one’s finger grow is definitely something piece of cake for the beginners. Ask someone who was in Qigong class in China before. My words are surely not enough. But I certainly got my confidence from the experience that I could grow taller with the same idea then.Also ed, let’s look at your answers to me.
You said: I may be in illusion from your Zen practitioner’s perspective.
I said: No, I am not, since Zen’s idea of illusion does not fit me, namely, I am not attached to my
height problem. Illusion is not something bad or good to Zen as you know.
Then you said: What awareness is.

What you mentioned is one of Zen schools, sudden awareness. And the other one is gradual
awareness. Anyway, that was not my question. You did not answer my question: what is illusion? I answered it by Zen’s own words. Zen is heavily related to meditation, but it does not mean we can not clarify what we are doing by words, even though most time the words do not have rational connections. Otherwise, they really should toss their scriptures completely.

I sincerely worry about your moral stand, how to hack a computer is not something I would be proud to tell others.

Am I a tall girl now, btw ? huhuhu

My answers to Joey

September 23 2006, 2:50 AM

We tried an index finger, sometimes later the whole right hand fingers. No tapes, but it was so clear that our right hand fingers much longer than the left ones. I was actually scared at the time that my fingers would stay longer than the left side, but they turned to be the same. Without long period of practice, the sudden change will not be stable.Yes, it is true that it is hardly to believe that all people had their fingers extended in a few minutes without age difference. All I remember that people around me all made it.

With the same idea that we could grow taller in a few minutes, but through my own practice, it was much harder than we thought. But the other reason is, from Qigong point of view, where you practice it. When you are in a class with a lot of people with the same idea, the effect is much quicker since we have a very harmonious atmosphere and the Qi is strong. If home alone, we do not get the effect so easy.

There was a Qigong school teaching people how to grow taller when I was in China around 1998. I read an article saying that the school was full of short people wishing to grow a few centimeters, and the effect sounded quite good. I wanted to go there so much. But I did not have time and could not afford like half a year’s fee at the time. I bought their materials, a lot of physical stretches with mind guidance.

As I said, Qigong was not something in China to make people grow taller. It was introduced to let people be aware of their own mental power for health, wisdom. Unlike people here all concern about your height. In a Qigong class, children wanted to be smarter, middle age people wanted to be healthier, relaxed, senior people wanted to be away from illness. And a lot of people had their super spiritual experience.

If you were in China, you would know how stressful in high school in order to pass the college entrance exams. I had some free time in college, but spent a lot studying with different Qigong teachers. I was so interested in the whole system of Qigong and spent a lot of time reading as well. Since I believed age was not a problem, I was not in a hurry to increase my height then. And I was so tired at night with full schedule during the day that I went to sleep right away…xixixi

Read the first 37 chapters of Daodejing, not many words, I do not have time to point each word for you. While reading with growing taller method in you mind, you may find something interesting. I can highlight words for you later if you still want to. Too late tonight.

You are right, I did not explain my two steps clearly. The first step is to imagine the bright ball absorbing the energy from the universe. The second step is in a narrower and concrete way: to inhale energy to the ball. The path is more specific. I should point this out.

Well, you can still find a lot information from the daoiststudies website as a beginner.

September 23 2006, 4:04 AM

I agree with Joey,it is hard to imagine changing the bonestructure of a finger in a couple of minutes,it probably is a matter of optical illusion.Qi gong masters indeed can perform things average ppl can only dream of,
i know,but after long years of training,suppose there is a possibility through means of Qi Gong to get taller (not stretching the spine like in standing meditation)but really influence the very complicated bio-chemical process of getting taller,just hypothetical,you (IMO)seem to be a bit too young to have such skills.

Reading your blog i noticed a similarity between Magic rituals (Occultism) also visualizing bright light floating through the body,inhale and exhale exercises,but then in different colours (depends what you want to achieve with it) experience the sensations,from the ball full of energy in this case above your head,it is recognisable,Qi also is guided with one’s mind.

Of course we should clarify in words what we are doing,i agree.

You don’t have to worry about my moral standard,haven’t got one (lol),
no Zixia,i am interested in how to hack computers,i read and study a lot about it,but that doesn’t mean i am going to hack a computer.that is qute something else.

If you understand this ,you really are a tall girl.

i was just wondering that people say u should eat 2 hrs b4 bedtime. But before i go to sleep im hungry, if i had a glass of milk would that be ok for my body to preduce the sufficient amount of growth hormone whilst im sleeping. i was wondering if u ate before bed when u grew 2cms and what u ate? thanks

ed81

meneka

September 23 2006, 9:06 PM

If your food-pattern is sufficient and healthy during the day,there is no need to eat before sleeping time for getting taller.(even when you are hungry).In the morning the only thing i like is coffee,so i have to force myself to eat something,mostly porridge,before going to bed i am always very hungry, often i ate peanuts,cheese chocolat,etc,drank a couple of beers,but i stopped with that cause it increased my bodyweight dramaticly,only now eat a banana or an apple and a glass of milk,it also is much healthier.Having much appetite at certain times all has to do with the level of Glucose in your blood,eating regurlarly and healthy during the day,in a way stabilizes your Glucose-level,that is sufficient,it is not really necessary to eat before bed-time,it also is not a condition for growing taller,but i know it is difficult not to do it.

A healthy diet,combined with sufficient exercise will create the optimum conditions to produce enough HGH,but again this differs from person to person.

One thing,Meneka,i think that (in my case) performing some Yoga postures,(Hatha Yoga),improved my own posture,decreased some light curvatures of the spine,maybe that is the reason of growing two cm’s,i am not sure whether thickening of the spinal discs played a role in it.

Heh, all those questions were mine not Joey’s but the answers came, so nevermind

September 24 2006, 11:16 AM

I’m not sure what exactly might have been happening to suddenly extend all the participants bones, then shrink them again just as abruptly. If I was being cynical I would say it was possibly something akin to mass hysteria (or, group mind thinking), where rationality breaks down and people think and act as they think the majority should…I can’t say though – I wasn’t there after all, and you sound like you were in no doubt something took place.

The 3 inches in a year is less easy to explain away. There would have to be a massive distortion of perception for both you and those around you, to believe you had grown so unmistakably. If it was just you believing it, then a sceptic may say possibly a breakdown in your mind had occurred; perhaps schizophrenia or similar…Yet…you don’t sound mad!

Often, people think they’ve grown, when really they’ve just measured wrongly – it’s stupidly difficult to measure oneself accurately. However the 4 inches in total you say you’ve gained is shocking, and to make this much of a Godzilla-sized mistake someone would have to be off the scale incompetent.

I guess that all that remains is for people to try what you’re suggesting in your journal. At the moment it does sound almost identical to the concept of ‘creative visualisation’, which I have to say hasn’t yielded good results for me in the past.

Regardless, I’d say give all this the benefit of the doubt and see if anything happens.

Wouldn’t it be funny if the visitors here zoomed up to epic proportions from this…the board would close down! I’m sure some would overdo it, end up 9 ft tall and completely smash the record books, lol.

Update On Dave Asprey Interview,

Here is a quick update on that Dave Asprey Interview I had hoped that maybe I could have done to get some of his ideas and thoughts on height increase and other body hacks. So far I have sent him two emails in the last 2 weeks and he hasn’t gotten back to me so I guess (at least for now) he is not interested in doing the interview, which is a shame but not that big of a loss. He seemed interested in the beginning but maybe lost interest as time went on.

Here is the entire exchange of emails and conversation we did have. As you can see he kind of just stopped responding… oh well… I wouldn’t blame him that much since these Silicon Valley guys are super busy. It was just amazing that he did say yes in the beginning raising my hopes up a bit.

awesome.

1. so how did you originally find out about these mind enhancement drugs?

2. would you recommend provigil or piracetam? which one is more effective?

I personally love these little hacks you find

I have been checking out your website and it is far more interesting than I ever expected. I watched the video on the front and I have been trying to find someone to go to peru with me to do ayahuasca and chacruna for the last 4 years. Have also been trying to go to Tibet for the last 10 years. Did you know that there still might be a yogi somewhere there who can teach you how to do Astral Projection?

I now know for a fact that tummo works since Wim Hoff has been expounding the benefits of the practice for so long. It makes me wonder whether the other 5 yogas of Naropa are also true.

Your whole blog reminds me of Ferriss’s 4 Hour Body which I bought and read. He only says to stay away from whites, but you say to stay away from grain completely. Can you show me the science behind the anti-aging supplement you sell on your blog? I am willing to buy it if there are some studies that show it works. I was reading on income diary.com and I was very surprised at how much some of these people who blog make. HERE I would assume that your blog should deserve a place on it. I remember James Altucher once made a claim to hedge fund king Steven Cohen that he could be as big as Warren Buffet and Cohen never talked to him again so I don’t want to upset you over something like comparing you to someone else.

I know Pat Flynn makes far more than what income dairy.com reports. I follow him, and I know Ferriss, and I know Pavlina since I used to be really into self help and learned about NLP and the seduction sciences. I would assume you know Pavlina quite well since he talks about the paleo diet and polyphasic sleep. I used to be a trader so I know who Sykes is.

All of these are interesting body hacks. My current two projects involve trying to help people grow taller through natural means and researching on potential new technology that can help increase height www.naturalheightgrowth.com and a company that XXXXXXXXXXXX.

I am currently in south korea right now for another business venture dealing with cosmetics but I would like to record our conversation as an mp3 and put it up on one of my websites. My iPhone has an app called “record calls” which allows the iPhone to record any of the phone conversations I have. I know, super creepy. If you are uncomfortable about that, maybe we can just talk and exchange some ideas between each other.

If I sound strange , I am going through a slight illness and my thinking is not completely clear.

1. so how did you originally find out about these mind enhancement drugs?

My brain wasn’t working right so I started research in the mid 90’s.

2. would you recommend provigil or piracetam? which one is more effective?

They do different things and are complimentary. Both! Provigil is more noticeable but piracetam is more health promoting.

If you want Astral projection, iacworld.org teaches it and it works. Shamanic.net has tours!

I now know for a fact that tummo works since Wim Hoff has been expounding the benefits of the practice for so long. It makes me wonder whether the other 5 yogas of Naropa are also true.

They are all true but it takes a long time to do them…unless you cheat and use technology to teach your body and mind to do them more quickly. I have not done them all by a long shot, but have achieved some of those states using EEG.

Your whole blog reminds me of Ferriss’s 4 Hour Body which I bought and read. He only says to stay away from whites, but you say to stay away from grain completely.

His book is good but his diet has flaws…

Can you show me the science behind the anti-aging supplement you sell on your blog? I am willing to buy it if there are some studies that show it works.

There is a lot of science behind it. There are 38 references at the bottom of this page: http://upgradedself.com/upgraded-aging-formula.html

I was reading on income diary.com and I was very surprised at how much some of these people who blog make. HERE I would assume that your blog should deserve a place on it.

I don’t sell ads though…or do CPM. Anything the blog generates goes back into paying the people who work for me so far. Haven’t made a nickel personally. I do it for fun and to help people.

I remember James Altucher once made a claim to hedge fund king Steven Cohen that he could be as big as Warren Buffet and Cohen never talked to him again so I don’t want to upset you over something like comparing you to someone else.

My ego is not that big.

I haven’t met Pavlina but know his blog.

A height hack that did more than spinal disk stretching would be epic!

I’m fine with being recorded for podcasts…do them a lot!

If I sound strange , I am going through a slight illness and my thinking is not completely clear.

You’re fine!

So when will we record?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@gmail.com to Dave, Aug 10

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I currently don’t even know how I would do the interview since my iphone has no service or plan in South Korea. I could call you using skype but there is no way to use the app. I need to sit down and think of another way to capture say a skype interview or phone interview. I will give an email within 4-5 days with some idea.

As for the natural height increase options, I don’t think I can do too much unless I move into areas which some people call pseudoscience or mysticism like strange yogic techniques or qigong. There have been technology that have recently been developed that is less invasive than the traditional breaking of bones but I have been talking with a lot of desperate people who are willing to try anything to add height.

I am talking with people who are willing to share their own ideas and methods but require me to sign an NDA. It would suck if I find something viable and great but can’t share it with the rest of the world.

I need to get slightly better before I can think clearly. Talk to you soon.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@gmail.com to Dave, Aug 20

Hey Dave,

I realized that you didn’t answer back to my last email so that interview is a no go. That is Okay. This project of mine one of my passions. I’ll keep on doing this for at least 5 years because I believe in it that much. This project only started 1 month ago and I really wanted to see if you had any ideas on height increase since you have ideas on this type of thing, especially with the astral projection and deep meditation stuff. I really wanted to do the ayahuasca thing myself. I enjoy learning about and reading about biohacks too. I don’t plan to use that website to make any money since this is about a personal mission.

I’ll try to get in contact you again in about a year to see if you are interested in doing the interview again. I should be more credible by then and you can see the differences I have made in that time. There are millions of people around the world who want to grow taller and I hope to be at the forefront of people who are looking into the science and technology to help them get what they want.

Thanks for replying to my earlier emails though. It was cool you responded back. Bye.

Height Of Mitt Romney And Barack Obama Compared, Who Is Taller?

Since we are these days sort of getting bombarded by all the news online and in the newspaper about the Presidential Election since this is an election year, I wanted to write a post about the heights of the presidential candidates and how their sizes will be viewed in comparison next to each other. Now, for most casual news readers, they probably have heard many times and have maybe even read a few posts that showed that maybe 60%-70% of the time, the taller of the presidential candidates have won the election.

This is absolutely true.

Note all of the article below which have shown the correlation between being the taller candidate and winning the presidency.

Mark’s Daily Apple , The Washington Post, ABC News, The Guardian UK, The Straight Dope, Christian Science Monitor, Live Science, Economist, The New York Times, and many, many more links to articles saying the same message.

As stated by ABC news…

– Previous observations have shown that taller candidates have won 58 percent of U.S. presidential elections and the popular vote in 67 percent of the elections between 1789 and 2008, a phenomenon known as the “presidential height index.” –

Most political scientists and sociologist have long known that stature, as well as a host of other physical qualities subconsciously influence voters.

The Democratic Presidential Candidate for this 2012 election is our current president Barack Obama who stand at 6′ 1″ and is around 81 kg in weight but is actually reported between 185-186 cm (source 1). Even the official White House physician has reported president Obama’s measurements HERE. so he might be actually more like 6′ 1.25″ since many people have stated that he seems to be taller then the 6′ 1″ inch height that has been reported about him for so long now. He is indeed charismatic and most women in the older generations mostly agree that he is good looking for a man his age and his position and power is attractive to women who like men who display alpha male behavior like confidence, warmth, and charisma.

The Republican party presidential Nominee for this 2012 election Mitt Romney is stated to be 6′ 2″ (188 cm) (source 1, source 2). I remember hearing about Romney in 2008 when he was running as well and he has always been reported to be 6′ 2″ and he has been described by many people who have known him throughout his life to being “tall” and “good looking” which are nice attributes to have when you are vying for quite possibly the mosty powerful position in the free world.

As stated by the sources on Romney…

– Riley admits the study has validity “when all other things are equal,” but he was hesitant to use the caveman rule to speculate on who might be the Republican nominee. “Romney looks like a president,” he said. “He is handsome, telegenic with good hair. He looks like someone right out of central casting.” –

Let’s begin the height comparison analysis

If we put these guys right next to each, there are some clear differences you see.

First, Obama goes with the traditionally clean closed shaved head where his hair rises about 1/4th-1/2 inch above the tip of his head. This type of hair style is very popular for many adult African American males.

As for Romney, we see that his hair is pulled back in a manner that gives him an extra 1 inch in height. If we then assume that Obama and Romney both are wearing professional dress shoes, then we can say that they are probably wearing the same type of shoe with the same amount of height elevation, which is usually around 1.25-1.5 inches in height.

This puts Obama around the 6′ 3″ mark adding his dress shoes, his full height and his hair style. For Romney, We say his hair plus his height plus his dress shoes puts him at the 6′ 4.5″ mark. Since we will be watching these two candidates standing next to each other a lot, we would guess they would both be standing up straight to project an image of power and authority.

Now, 1.50 inches is a little over 4 cm which when you see it from far away is noticeable of a difference. From this type of judging system where the measuring tape is the true judge, it would be clear that Romney would win the election and become the next president. However, I would assume that people probably care more about what their leader should be besides being “tall”. The country is currently in a bad economic state and we need a good strong leader to lead us out of this depression and make the country better and bring more people out of poverty.

I know I will never make a judgement on who my leader should be just from judging them by the measurement of their body size.
