Resources

This page houses the collection of all of the resources, references, and sites that I have found in my journey which has been extremely useful or interesting that is related to height or height increase. It is broken up into 4 parts, Message Boards, Blogs/Personal Sites (like this one), Informative Sites, and Medical Clinics. If any new resources or sites are found, I will be sure to add and edit this page.

I had written maybe 2-3 posts already listing quite a few links  and sites. I decided that it would be too much of a hassle to go back and find those posts and edit them but instead to put a resource page at the header toolbar for easy access. All the information and data from those old posts have been transferred to this page.

I. Message Boards & Forums

Most of what is listed will be old, outdated, or rarely posted upon. If however there are any big forums or discussion boards I do find, I will be sure to make a note of that on the ride side beside the name and link I post here.

About half of the forums and message boards I have posted above, half I found from the Short Support website which you can get an even longer list HERE. Of the resources and references I have found, they are the largest that I have found so far. If you happened to know another forum or board that the Height Increase Seeker can join, give me a message or email and I will promptly post it on the site to inform the other members and readers where to go. Thank You.

II. Blogs, Personal Sites 

I also try to find other Height Increase Seekers (H.I.S) who are also blogging and talking about their journey, path, or quest. Here is a list of the people who I have found.

  • Acromegaly Bloggers – a community of bloggers who suffer from acromegaly
  • AllAboutHeight.wordpress.com – This website I recently found is one of the most informative and resourceful blogs or website around. The posts are few but good.
  • El Zar De La Estatura or Czar of Height– spanish language based old website which was seeking height increase solutions and doing great work.
  • Got To Grow – One of the very first websites created to try to increase height. On the old Geocities platform. Has a chat room & a message board.
  • Grow Taller Routine (Tumbler)– A very short blog with maybe only 2 posts. However, they makea reference to Zixia and her blog which is at #5. Zixia’s blog and method is quite possibly the most interesting and most promising method I have found so far.
  • Grow Taller Secrets – http://grow-taller-secret.blogspot.com/ – Note: This blog has not been updated in over 3 years but does have some useful information. Doesn’t seem to be selling the usual scam products but still might be selling some other type of scam product that is not height increase related. Just be careful with this resource.
  • Grow Taller With Me – Zixia/Nicole – http://zixialinmm.blogspot.com/
  • Grow Taller With Me And Change Your Life – http://growtallerwithmeandchangeyourlife.blogspot.com/
  • growtallerok.net – Note: Although extremely informative and full of useful content, the product they sell (Company that is not named) is a scam.
  • Height Blog – (www.heightblog.com/)
  • Height Catalyst – heightcatalyst.com/ – an old research site which was recently put back on but again was taken down.
  • Human Body Size (www.humanbodysize.com/) – Thomas T. Samaras – to focus on the ramifications of a world   population that is constantly increasing in height and body weight
  • Kazlina.com – Fellow collaborator Kazlina’s website
  • Lsjltester – used to test the Lateral Synovial Joint Loading method on the fingers.
  • My Grow Taller Journey – An informative but not content intensive blog with all of the major height increase ideas on it. Uses Tumbler as the blog platform
  • My-Grow-Taller-Journey – Is the same blog by the same creator as the one above. Also uses tumbler. The main difference seems to be the name and the graphic design.
  • Project 10.0 – Layan – http://project10-0.blogspot.com/
  • Quest For Height – (www.heightquest.com/)
  • Ramifications Of Increasing Body Size – samarasbodyheightweight.blogspot.com/ – the personal blog of Thomas Samaras looking at how increasing body size may be better for the overall human race. – currently no new posts.
  • Str8gt – (www.str8gt.com ) – the site overall is a blog which talks about a few strategies and methods about height increasebut lacks much detail and and specifics, or depth on the content. It seems t skim over the most general things. What makes it difficult to trust is that it does promote and probably markets a scam “Grow Taller 4 Idiots”. I was unsure where to put the site, whether in the scam section or the resource section.
  • The Incredible Shrinking Man – www.the-incredible-shrinking-man.net/ – The Incredible Shrinking Man is a speculative design research about the consequences of downsizing the human species to 50 centimeters.
  • Yasers Horna – a Norwegian based wordpress blog/website which talks about height and height increase research sometimes in its posts

V. Legitimate Surgery & Medical Clinics

This post will list as many valid and legitimate limb lengthening and leg lengthening hospitals and institutes as possible. It would be near impossible for myself alone to review all of the resources and links that are available.

Note: I am human so I can be fallible. If I state that a listing below is valid or legitimate does not mean that it really is. Please be careful when making any form of decision that involves a medical procedure as big as surgery. I would advise one to consult one’s personal doctor first before going through with anything as big as limb/leg lengthening surgery. However, it is your life so you can do whatever you want. If you over the age of 18, you are a full adult in the eyes of the USA government legal system so you are fully responsible for any actions you take. I can only give you the information as cleanly and truthfully as I can. 

Please be careful. To get a more complete listing of Hospitals and Clinics around the world who does the limb lengthening Surgery, please refer to the Short Support website located HERE.

VI: Shops 

The online shops offer a way to buy legitimate products which are supposed to help you increase your height or at least look and be perceived to be taller.

VII: Useful Websites

This is just going to be a subsection where a bunch of websites and webpages that is not informative and content rich enough to be in the resource section end up. Most of the sites have information that is ok but don’t go into detail or depth in explaining stuff. This webpage will be edited and added upon over time.

  • www.deeptrancenow.com – (I am not sure about this site, its products are very controversial, so I also put this site on the “scams website list” section
  • growingtallerstretches.com – overall the site is nicely design with some weak information selling a scam with only half a dozen really short articles with little data.This website might have to go in the scams or and/or useless websites section.
  • www.height-increasing.com/category/facts-growth-height/ – (it only has two articles but the articles have tables for heights and weights)
  • heightathypnosis.blogspot.com/
  • HGH Blog – Human Growth Hormone Supplements – blog.hgh.com – the website is well designed page with the articles written so that the reader would go and buy the HGH supplements from them. It is not focused on height increase but on muscle mass increase, lossing weight, and gaining energy.

VIII: A Quick Note About Naming, Terminology, and Name Shortening

I wanted to save some time and have noticed myself getting lazy recently so I decided to write down a list of names, terms, and shortened terms and names to save me time in the future.

Again, this post will be also continuously changed, edited, and added to make room for future changes and developments.

So here is the list. It is in alphabetical order…

  • BGRI – Biomedical Growth Research Initiative
  • BMP/BMPs – Bone Morphogenetic Proteins
  • Distal – Away from the center
  • ER-α/ER-alpha- Estrogen receptor alpha
  • ER-β/ER-beta – Estrogen receptor beta

  • GT4I – Grow Taller 4 Idiots (a popular grow taller scam)
  • HGH/hGH/GH – Human Growth Hormone or Human derived Growth Hormone
  • HI/H.I. -Height Increase
  • HIS/H.I.S. – Height Increase Seeker (refers to most of us who who come here and read the blog/site)

  • Hypertrophic Zone (HZ) – another zone found on the growth plate that is distal of the proliferative zone.
  • IGF-1 – Insulin like Growth Factor Type 1
  • IGF-2 – Insulin like Growth Factor Type 2
  • IHH/ihh – Indian Hedgehog
  • Lateral – from the side, or on the side
  • Ligand (for biochemistry & pharmacology usage) – a substance (usually a small molecule), that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve a biological purpose. In a narrower sense, it is a signal triggering molecule, binding to a site on a target protein. (from Wikipedia definition)
  • LLS – Limb-Lenghtening Surgery aka Distraction Osteogenesis
  • LSJL – Lateral Synovial Joint Loading
  • M.M.T./MMT – www.makemetaller.org
  • MSCs – Mesenchymal Stem Cells
  • N.H.G.H./NHGH – Natural Height Growth  (this is the site/blog’s name. It is a play and pun off of HGH. I thought it was clever )
  • PDGF – Platelet-Derived Growth Factor
  • Proliferative Zone (PZ) – another zone found on the growth plate that is distal of the resting zone.
  • Proximal –  Toward the center
  • PTH – Parathyroid Hormone
  • PTHrP -Parathyroid Hormone receptor Protein

  • Stress – a measure of the internal forces acting within a deformable body. Quantitatively, it is a measure of the average force per unit area of a surface within the body on which internal forces act. Similar to pressure. Units are Force/Area or N/m^2, pound-force/ inch^2, psi.
  • Strain – a normalized measure of deformation representing the displacement between particles in the body relative to a reference length. Is expressed as del(X2-X1)/delX1 where X2=f(X1). Symbol is epsilon. Unit is unit less, comes out as a fraction.
  • TGF-Beta/TGF-β – Tranforming Growth Factor Beta
  • T.I.M.I.M./TIMIM – The Impartial Height Increasing Message Board (I know, I left out the B for Board)
  • VEGF – Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

IX: Conversion Units and Approximations

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

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

US/UK Standard Units

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

Rest of the world Standard Units

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Hi!,Could you take a look into metal-vapour laser cutting ? My idea is if a laser could cut though a femur bone, but some how not flesh,Then we could make multiple cuts on the femur and once the healing process starts it would add a couple millimeters within each cut making the bone longer.
