height pills or surgery, know of any safe-effective ones???

[Italian44]

Hey guys, ive been wondering lately about growth. Do u all know of any height pills that work and are safe, or surgery?? Im only 5'5, and im pretty stocky, which can be unattractive. Im 18, so i wont be growing much taller probably. But i looked online at shoe lifts that can make me look 2.5 inches taller, AND pills. These pills claim they can help u grow up to 4 inches taller. Your thoughts??? U can Instant Message me for quicker response at my AOL screen-name: VenezianPrince. Thanks.

Hey man, you are being way too self-conscious about your height. Being short is nothing to be ashamed of. Height is just one of the many factors that compute in "attractiveness". What you are lacking in height, you can make up for in muscle, personality, etc. Don't let it get to you.

Italian44: I went through much the same. I'm 20 now and my height (5 ft 7) really screwed me up. DO NOT fall for the pills from ANY site. It is all fake because they know guys like us are bothered by it, and that's how they make their money.

Those shoes may help temporarily but I bet they hurt, and isn't that a bit manipulative? It's like girls or guys who put tissue in their bras or down their pants...fine for a night out but what happens when it comes off?

Surgery: Leg-lengthening: very painful, a max of about 2 inches of height I think, and you can be in a wheelchair for over a year. Not only that but I believe the cost can range $30-100K. At least for me I know by the time I earn that amount I'll be too old for it to make any difference.

There will always be new companies coming out with 'revolutionary' products to cure height but you must realise it is all complete BS. You should take a look at this site before you fall into the trap that I did: www.shortsupport.org

All the best

ps: It does get easier

Don't worry about your height too much...and for nitro, 5'7"? That's not exactly short, just not tall...don't know why you'd even have worried about it. Then again I've been called "short and stocky" at 5'10" by people who were the same height or shorter lol, but then people are just too stupid to realize its right at the 50% line for avg. height in adults.

I guess But it goes with the mind of training...always wanna be the best you can be etc

The pills without a doubt will not work. If your growth plates have fused no pill fom some website probabley made in someones kitchen will not work.
