Naturalheightgrowth a scam?
post #1

I believe that someday, there will be some kind of "magic pill" or operation that will get people to be taller after puberty other than leg legthening. The guy who operates this website "Natural Height Growth" has a large following even though it doesn't look like it by the comments (at least he claims he does).

 

He's been writing articles for years, maybe even a decade or more. But today, in a blog post he said that he has written the same articles a thousand different ways and that he has to call himself out on his own bullshit. Here is what he said.

 

"I think for a long time, I have been just going in circles, doing a dance of mental masturbation trying to say words which really doesn’t do much good. How many times can I write the words “Chondrocyte” or “Epiphyseal Cartilage” and still make the regular reader and visitor still interested and engaged in what I am saying?

I need to call myself out on my own bullshit, on the cognitive biases that have been making me procrastinate and not taking more action. I will say a hidden idea which so many internet bloggers don’t want to admit"

 

I appreciate all of the work that he his done and I think he visits this website. Do you think all of this work is legit or is the whole HI community full of themselves?

I don't have any desire to be taller, but I don't think the website is a scam in any way. This guy is doing what many others are not, and that is researching ways to achieve height growth in adults. I think if you bought this same subject up to doctors in reputable hospitals and medical facilities, they would laugh it off.

 

 

You need someone or a group to lobby for this kind of research because it will help a certain niche group and will potentially alleviate the need for the cost intensive invasive Leg Lengthening that so many are willing to undergo.

 

 

Then again, I'm 5'7. I get my share of Heightism, but those men 5'4 and under, I feel for them. I could understand why someone who was maybe 5'1 would opt for it.

Is the site NaturalHeightGrowth full of crap?

I've been to this site and it's full of research with pages and pages worth of posts. Don't know how long they've been at it but they suggest all of these things you can do to grow taller though none of the stuff there has been confirmed by anyone in the medical community nor has anyone commented "hey this works!" in any of their comments. Are they legit or full of s***?

NaturalHeightGrowth is such a scam I swear

I used to visit that site at least four times a week. The owner of that site, there might be two of them "research" ways on how to get taller. They go around and regurgitate all of this garbage about all of these "scientists" who are studying "growth plate regeneration" and all of these supposed "breakthroughs" on chemicals and procedures coming out to make people taller.

NEWSFLASH, it will NEVER HAPPEN. There is no way nor will there every be a way to get taller after you pass puberty and no one cares enough to fund some crapola like that.

The site has years worth of articles and not a single one that irrefutably gets people to grow taller. All they have are a bunch of scammy products with amazon links to make the site owners richer while playing on men's insecurities. It's a damn hoax. 

If you're over 30 then chances are you spent your 20s researching that "one thing that nobody knows about" or that "secret method that some rogue doctor has" to help you get that growth spurt you never got. Well, that's how they make money, but playing on those people.

TL:DR the only way to get taller is elevator shoes or some risky $100,000 that will break your legs and render you never to play sports again. Natural height growth is nothing but trash.

Naturalheightgrowth is a scam

People have been following that blog for years, buying some of his products, reading their long drawn out essays on height research topics, clicking on his affilate links and BAM, his site disappears without a trace. Wake up people!
