Growing taller with hypnosis?

[Mythical Eagle]

Hello,
I'm going to be 17 this August and I'm really short. I'm only 5ft. Is it possible to grow taller with hypnosis?
I found this website ... which sells a CD for $99 and it claims that it will help me grow taller with hypnosis. Do you think it will actually work or is a fraudulent way of trying to get me money? And is there any cheaper way of increasing me height?

[Simon]

First read this two sections:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hormone
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hormone_treatment

As I believe it may be a problem to stimulate physical response such as release of needed hormons to resume your growing.

[Don]

If their CD worked they could charge $50,000.00 for it. You do the math.

Also, you must not want to grow taller very much if you think you'd only like to spend less than 99 bucks on it. I know people who spend ten times that for senior prom.

Of course I want to grow taller, but I don't want to spend $99 if it is a scam. If it's not a scam, then I don't mind spending.

[Poodle]

I'll make you one for $50 but I'd bet my bottom dollar that it would not work -- why? I do not know you and all about you. It is possible to grow taller with hypnosis and only being 17 you have some more years to grow. Why not be patient and see what happens and then seek QUALIFIED SKILLED HELP! NOT A CD!!

[Merlin]

Hello,

Hypnosis could possibly help.
You'd need to have your hypnotist coordinate with your regular MD.

>is there any cheaper way of increasing me height?

Expect to pay $hundreds or even thousands!
Don't be cheap!
At your age time is running out.
by time you try & fail all the other methods (like CDs) it'll be too late.

[Terry (existing)]

Help me out a little here if you will. First you say you want to grow taller, and I believe you. Then you ask about the cheapest method of doing it. What I don;t understand, is why so cheap? Have you consulted your doctor for example? There are treatments that work, and work well, but they cost in some countries, while being part of the health system in others, and cost you nothing but time. Can hypnosis work for you? Yes, but note the word CAN, because it depends on the reason for your small size, and the skills of the practitioner at finding the cause in YOUR case. THERE IS NO BLOODY CD FOR COMPLICATED PROBLEMS THAT WORKS......Got it? Good......By the way, I am five foot four inches, and the happiest man alive. I have the perfect wife, wonderfull kids and grandkids who bike over to see gramps frequently during the summer. I have friends who love me, and have never bothered to wonder what it would be like to be my son in law, who is six foot six, he loves me too by the way, as does his five foot wife, my oldest daughter... Even his daughter who also would love to be six foot, but has had to settle for five five, and blames me for that fact, still loves her gramps.... It aint what you got, but the way that you use it, and that applies in so many ways (EG).....

[AnthonyM83]

Go see your doctor. There's are hormones that you're probably qualified to receive and might be covered my medical insurance.

[Merlin]

What I wouldn't give to be shorter...

Oh well.

[Guest]

Why do you experienced people always insist that if people don't want to spend money, they must not REALLY want what they're after? The fact that they want something doesn't mean they shouldn't try to get the best price for it.

And to Mythical Eagle, it's your brain, and you don't need to pay to use it. Perhaps you should learn self-hypnosis, or find a generous person willing to teach you. If you like the CD idea, why not record your own? Then it would be customized. (If, like me, you don't like your own voice, make a friend do it)

[skip]

With apologies to Jesus, for the same reason he did.

I know plenty of people who want something. And they want it a lot.

But not enough to get off their ass and do something about it.

And certainly not enough to spend any money on it.

Makes you wonder how much they really want it, doesnt it?

Guest complains that we are too hard on those wishing to do things on the cheap, and that could be fair comment in some circumstances, but never when we say it. BEWARE OF ANNONYMOUS POSTINGS, those who choose to remain in the background, do so for a reason, usually because they know so little that they fear to come out into the open to post. That too is fair enough, until they decide to offer direction to others, then they step out of line with poor comments and recomendations. I would personally like to see comments posted by an annonymous poster, erased from the board. If you don't have the courage to put your name to a post, why should it be imposed on others? As for cheap, is you are too cheap to take a chance on a tape, is it likely you will go to the trouble of seeking out a GOOD practitioner, and getting the job done properly? If no, why waste our time?

I worked for a man who's teen age sons were short, and wanted to be taller.
His doctor told him that Human Growth Hormone would work at this time, but that the ultimate result would be that neither of them would be any taller than the limit set by their genes.

[Merlin]

Many people have such limiting beliefs.

[Don]

Hi, Guest.

I like your question, so I'll give my answer.

I like nice things in my life, but I also like to get the best value. Spending $1,000 extra to get 1/10 of 1% increase in value, to me, is foolish.

I don't think anyone here is against either saving money or getting a deal. In fact, I would suggest that most people here want that.

Now money today, in and of itself, has no real value. The only value it has is the value we give it. It represents an exchange of work or energy.

In this case--and in most of the other cases--people claim the really want something, but are only willing to spend a pittance on it. In this case, the person not only wanted to change his life for $99, but wanted to see if there was anything less.

Now, let's say you're drowning. The most important thing in the universe to you would be to get saved. How much would that be worth to you? Is $99 too much? If a guy comes by in a boat and says "I can save you for $1,000," would you say "Oh, I want to be saved, but I don't want to spend $1,000, I only want to spend $50. So I'll just wait her until someone comes by and will save me for $50, and if nobody comes by, I'll just drown."

Doesn't make much sense, huh?

So how much did the original poster really want to change? Not much. You couldn't pay for a good set of Nikes for $99. You couldn't get a good skateboard for $99. You couldn't get a PS2 or XBox for $99.

So what he was saying was that encouraging growth wasn't worth the price of a damn PS2!

It doesn't matter that he was saying that to me--he is constantly saying that to his unconscious. So every time he listens to the CDs his unconscious knows that even though he says he wants to grow, the fact it, he couldn't care less about it. And so, his unconscious mind will actually work to prevent the growth he claims he wants!

Guest, my guess is that you don't now squack about hypnosis, suggestion, or hypnotherapy. If you did, you'd understand this. Perhaps the most famous contemporary hypnotherapist would give people ordeals to go through before he would even consider them as patients. He would have them climb mountains or pay attention to every cigarette they smoke and write down information about it. It was time consuming and sometimes exhausting. But if they did it, he knew--and more importantly, their unconscious knew--that they really wanted to change.

How many video games does the original poster have at $50 a pop? How many $150 pair of shoes? How about a bicycle? What about an iPod?

You want to change, my friend? Prove it! And saying you're not worth two video games ain't gonna cut it.

Sorry, but that's the way it is.

[Poodle]

Excellent point and that is exactly why things don't happen. The SC LOVES to be fed good information and can we ever thank it enough for all that it does in spite of what we do to ourselves. It's always there for us 24/7/365. Tell yourself good things and you get good results! It's amazing how much we influence our own bodies with our own language.

His doctor told him that Human Growth Hormone would work at this time, but that the ultimate result would be that neither of them would be any taller than the limit set by their genes. That'd be fine with me. Why not use it to find out what that limit set by your genes actually is?

[Simon]

Imagine how much money can 17 year old boy have. And imagine that he doesn't want to tell about his frustration to his parents or if they think its a silly idea - if they lived through life short sized, why the hell can't he?

Think again.

But, he must know that solving this kind of problem might be a bit more expensive - in any case, go to doctor and state your problems.

[Merlin]

Well said Don!

I believe McDonalds pays around $5.25/hr. That means, during the three months of summer, a person could easily save $1500. If he takes a weekend job, he can probably earn another $700. Then, still working part time after school at McDonalds (as well as the weekend job), he could pull in another $500 a month. Of course, this means NO buying of XBox or PS2 games, no going to movies, etc.

I know of 17-year-olds who work all summer to get a new guitar or even a new car.

It just depends upon how much somebody wants something.

[Terry (existing)]

I wonder at the workings of the mind of youth, but understand the frustration. Simon, most of us live in the real world, and that must annoy you when we point it out. NOBODY works for free, some of you don;t even work to help yourself of course, but please don;t complain when you are told that goods and services cost money, this is just plain fact. If our poster is only willing to complain, and do nothing to help himself, why pray tell should anyone else give a damn? We expect to help those who are willing to help themselves, and fact is, we do just that. If you don;t like facts, dream on, you hurt nobody but yourself, but when reality strikes, the cold hard facts come to the 'for. There aint no free ride for any of us. I worked both hard and smart to retire with sufficient to satisfy my needs. Nobody needs to worry about me because I did what was needed. You do likewise, or suffer the consequences. I told the poster clearly, what was required of him, and if he chooses not to do it, but continue to complain, I don't mind in the least. My only job in this board, is to tell the facts as I understand them, nothing more.

It just depends upon how much somebody wants something.It's not always that simple. When I was in college, I was told not to get a job because it would lower my financial aid at school. It really wasn't worth it to work, because they'd want pretty much all the money to go toward your tuition. And if you spent any of that money you made even if was spending it on trasportation to get to work or to summer school, you could end up almost in the negative for working that summer. It was the same in high school (I went to a private school that I could never afford full-price for).

[Poodle]

Has anyone else noticed that Don is responding more metaphorically than before or is it that I have grown? Really GREAT!! Love reading those posts.

[Don]

Thank you very much.

I've just finished a forced move (my landlord was tearing down the building) and my new house is starting to become a home. I'm becoming a bit more relaxed.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Don]

You're right, Anthony. What was important to you was staying in college and you would have done anything to do that, wouldn't you?

So if getting enough money to buy a car was the most important thing to you, wouldn't you have worked two, maybe more jobs to get the car?

And if someone says to you, "I really want to try hypnosis to grow, but I think paying $99 is too much," does that really imply that growth is important to him?

It sure doesn't mean that to me.

[AnthonyM83]

It sure doesn't mean that to me.I agree in this case he should be willing to pay more than $99 (if he knew it'd work). I just felt like I needed to stand up for other college students who might have been in my situation. This topic tends to be brought up now and then on this board.

Sure, if one really wants something they can give up everything and I mean pretty much everything to get it...going to unhealthy extremes. But you have to maintain a balance in life, so if someone doesn't go to the extreme another might go it, it might not mean they "don't really want it".

In this case, though...I agree with you.

[naphere]

but possible maybe.
ok imagine you bones becoming more like a liquid flowing instead of solid.
now imagine them flowing so that they grow longer.

btw im thinking dont do your spine with that one

for your spine

stretch out your spine now imagine blocks snapping into place like a lego set
holding up your spinal column

[Merlin]

>stretch out your spine now imagine blocks snapping into place like a lego set holding up your spinal column

Are you suggesting new vertebra to be created?

Hello,
I'm going to be 17 this August and I'm really short. I'm only 5ft. Is it possible to grow taller with hypnosis?
I found this website ... which sells a CD for $99 and it claims that it will help me grow taller with hypnosis. Do you think it will actually work or is a fraudulent way of trying to get me money? And is there any cheaper way of increasing me height?

I’m not an expert on hypnosis but I know a lot about bodybuilding and the effects of substances such as HGH. I like to keep an open mind to most things but it seems absolutely ludicrous that a CD can help you grow taller. These people shouldn’t even be allowed to advertise and try and take advantage with such offers.
Now a word of warning on HGH and other growth hormone precursors, if your looking at CD’s to improve your height you might well be looking adverts that sell growth hormone online. Please don’t buy this stuff, if you need growth hormone or any other substances as powerful as this stuff you MUST go to your medical doctor to ensure that you do not do irreversible damage. Now you did the right think by asking about this CD which shows you have your head screwed on because as strong is your desire to be taller you weren’t pulled in, you investigated first. But if you then take the second step and look up HGH and other substances which you can buy online for 100 bucks you could find yourself into big trouble. For example if you look at the top bodybuilding pro’s of today you see they have huge stomachs. They ripped with a six pack but they are also distended. That’s because of the growth hormones they take which makes the bones and the intensities grow. It can also cause bone deformities and make your jaw bone become deformed. At 17 your body is rampant with hormones and that age you need to be very careful about upsetting it’s balance with artificial hormones you could do terrible damage that will be with you for life. Again I’m not saying your going to take this stuff, but just warning you of the terrible effects this stuff can have, especially with stuff you can buy online, a lot of which comes from China and Eastern block countries. I think Hypnotherapy could help someone come to terms with height issues if it makes them feel insecure etc. But I can’t for the life of me see how this could stimulate growth in the body.

I'm the original poster (Mythical Eagle).
You're example is invalid.
Would I pay $1000 to anyone who just CLAIMS that they can save me?

According to your example, if you wanted a million dollars and I told you "give me $1000 and I will show you how to make a $1,000,000" you would accept my offer just because I said so and you would just take my word for it, even though I'm some anonymous person on the internet.

Hi,
The doctor said HGH won't work since I don't have HGH deficiency. He told me it's genetic so I can't do anything about my height.
I'm just going to accept life as it is...

There's no practictioner of hypnosis in the 3rd world country that I live in.
It's amusing how a simple question about a hypnosis CD turns into a debate about money...

[Don]

Mythical Eagle, I wasn't talking about a get rich quick scheme, I was taking about your life. If you broke your leg and the doctor who was the best in setting bones told you he would charge $500 to fix you up, would you spend a couple weeks looking for someone who would do it for $400? I wouldn't. But I know I'm worth it.

If you had cancer and went to a doctor, the doctor, if honest, would tell you that his or her treatment is likely to get rid of the cancer and put it in remission, but the doctor would be lying to you by saying they guarantee it.

You're looking for guarantee's in a world where there's no guarantees.

However, you also missed the entire point of my post. As I wrote, everyone wants to save money. I know I sure do. Paying more does not guarantee anything. But saying, "I want to change this part of my life, but I don't want to spend $99 means you're telling your subconscious that the change is not worth that much to you. You're telling yourself that you're not worth the price of a skateboard.

Were you to come to me as a client, asking for this change, I'd ask you a bunch of questions (it's part of the pre-induction interview). From your answers I simply would not accept you as a client because although you claim you want this change, your answers show that on some level you're just not interested.

You've set yourself up to fail, and I have no desire to work with people who aren't ready to change.

Good luck on your path.

[Terry (existing)]

Mythical Eagle, when we tell you that a CD is unlikely to give you results, you get annoyed with us for telling you the facts of life. Dumb isn't it? When we tell you that going for cheap is cheating yourself of success, you go to the extreme, and say you will throw your money away on any CD you can find, typical tantrum tactics isn't it? You are asking the questions, and though you may not like the replies you get, at least they are honest, which is more than you are being with us, so excuse me if I choose not to waste more time on you. I have ten grandchildren who need my attention, as well as one great grandchild, and funnily enough, non of them complain at the advice I give when asked. Wonder why you, a total stranger, should feel you have such a right?

Good luck on your path.

If I came to you as a client, I wouldn't ask for lower prices since you with be giving me a quality service. Nor would I look for a cheaper doctor.

But if you were some anonymouse person on the internet selling me a tangible commodity (e.g. a CD) then I would ask people first if it'd work and check to see if there is a cheaper alternative, and if I can't find one then I would buy it.

If two commodities can get the job done, but one is cheaper, I'd choose the cheaper one.

You're comparing a CD to the professional advice of a doctor. And the person selling the CD probably isn't even a doctor.

Mythical Eagle, when we tell you that a CD is unlikely to give you results, you get annoyed with us for telling you the facts of life. Dumb isn't it?

I have ten grandchildren who need my attention, as well as one great grandchild, and funnily enough, non of them complain at the advice I give when asked. Wonder why you, a total stranger, should feel you have such a right?

Basically, all I was asking was:
i) Will the CD work? (Yes/No)
ii) Is there are cheaper alternative? (Yes/No)

You didn't have to waste time on me. You could've ended it with (i) No (ii) No.

Just because I'm asking if there is a cheaper alternative doesn't mean that I don't want to spend more than $99 on my height.

This is just a CD that I don't even know if it will work. And if it did work, there could be cheaper CDs. I don't know, so I asked.

If I came here and said "I want professional help and the doctor wants $99 but I don't want to pay $99" then that is cheap, but we're talking about a simple CD and not professional help.

You've just assumed that my budget for everything is $99. I could pay more for a professional, but if it's a CD that I don't even know if it will work and there is a possibility of a cheaper alternative, then I'd ask people first.

[Mythical Eagle]

I forgot to mention, last month I spent $200 to visit a doctor regarding my height. He said I can't do anything about it since it's genetic.

The cost doesn't matter since I know he's a qualified person who will give me reliable advice, rather than some person on the internet selling me a CD for $99.

[Mythical Eagle]

By the way, it's not dumb to ask if the CD would work and if there is a cheaper alternative. But it would be dumb to not listen to the doctor's advice and ask people for a cheaper doctor or treatment.

So your doctor has told you you no longer have growth plates has he? Well if this be true, he is correct, nothing can be done. If on the other hand, he is telling you that you are doomed to being short because your parents are short, he is offering you a limiting belief which is not always true. Sorry, I respect doctors, especially good ones and know many, but even doctors have their limits, and good ones know it...Google "human growth" or some such and read how we grow before giving up.

If on the other hand, he is telling you that you are doomed to being short because your parents are short, he is offering you a limiting belief which is not always true. Sorry, I respect doctors, especially good ones and know many, but even doctors have their limits, and good ones know it...Google "human growth" or some such and read how we grow before giving up.

Hi,
The doctor told me that I have one more year to grow and I would only grow 1 inch in that year (he did a bone x-ray on my hand to determine this).
He said that the only alternative is to do limb-lengthening (which involves breaking the bones and making them grow again).
I asked him if HGH pills or something would do the trick but he said I don't have HGH deficiency so it won't work.

I'll just accept my height as it is. It's not worth breaking my bones (which could be risky) to increase my height.

ME, it's impossible to tell if any particular CD will work for you. What you're asking is similar to asking a doctor, "Will Cipro help me?" The only reasonable response is "Maybe. What's your problem?"

In this case, we don't know what your "problem" is. Hypnotherapists work with changing the mind, not genetics. Each person is a unique individual and deserves a unique method of behavioral change.

It may be that a particular CD would have exactly what you need. In may be that a cheaper or more expensive CD would have what you need. I don't know you and I don't know the CDs.

There are a few people here who have had great luck with a particular CD and others complain bitterly that they tried one and it didn't work for them.

If you go to a hypnotherapist and say, "I want X," they will (or should!) either say, "I can help you" or "I can't help you." You won't get that from a CD at any price.

There are about 300,000,000 people in the U.S. If each one deserves a unique response to their issues, what are the odds that any particular CD will work for you?

Doctors have many incredible tools that help millions of people every year. I am immensely grateful to doctors and am in awe of their skills and knowledge.

For a moment, though, consider all of their tools to be a hammer. When confronted with a nut and bolt, they would have no idea of what to do with them. It's outside of their interpretation of the worlds. It can't be efficiently treated with their hammer.

Perhaps different people have a pliers or nut-driver?

HGH pills do not have HGH. They are called "precursors" which are supposed to encourage the body to create HGH. To the best of my knowledge, I've not seen any evidence that they actually work to encourage growth. Real HGH needs to be taken via IV drip or injection. You're not going to get it without a prescription.

I find it interesting that your doctor (was he a growth specialist?) determined that you had one more year to grow. Is that a leap year? A lunar year? An actual year takes 365.242199 days. When did your "last year of growth" start, from the exact moment you were born? Noon on that day? Does your doctor think that there is a switch so that exactly 365.242199 days from now any growth will suddenly stop?

Is it possible you'll grow for a year and one day? What about a year and two days? Or maybe only 11 months. Or maybe 13 months. Or maybe longer. Will your doctor guarantee that you'll stop at exactly one year?

Is your doctor guaranteeing one more inch? Will you sue if you only grow 0.9999999999999999 inches over the next year? Is it possible that you might grow 1.000000000000001 inch over the next year? How about 1.001 inches? What about 1.1? Or 1.2?

Or is it possible that your doctor simply made a generalization and that generalizations may not apply to any particular individual, such as you?

Perhaps he was basing his announcement of your fate on "averages." So let's say that of 100 people your age, 50 grow 1 inch, 25 grow .1 inch, and 23 grow 1.9 inches, and 1 grows 3 inches and 1 grows 5 inches. The average of the 100 people would be 1.042 inches which, for all practical purposes, would be 1 inch. But one person grew 5 inches.

The important figure is not the average, but the potential deviation from the average. In this example, such a deviation could be a minus .9 inches or a positive 4 inches. And any individual could fall anywhere within that range.

So where will you fall? How do you know?
