there isn't much to say, all it does it thickens the cartilage. In my opinion, glucosamine is a must with any stretching routine u follow, if taken long enough it should make inches permanent. I still stand by stretches since so many have succeeded by doing them but u really have to be consistent. If lets say u stretch for 3 months and gain an inch or two and suddenly stop u will obviously loose it all because ur skeleton isn't strong enough to support it and ur body simply isnt used to ur new height it maybe because biologically u arent meant to be that height therefore ur body will do anything to go back to its comfort zone, u get what im saying? Also, ur age is an important factor if lets say u haven't grown for many years and u start stretching it will certainly take a while before ur body to respond so u gonna have to deal with that resisting force but the good news is that eventually ur body will respond to that force or stress and will do all sort of things to overcome that stress in terms of increasing blood supply to that area etc.. and thats when growth will take place but u gotta give it sometime this is reality and reality takes time. Wirey Spindell is an example he grew like 2 inches within a year I know many people who have actually grown by doing the stretches. I personally never tried coz as many of u out there Im looking for a quick fix thats just how I am but I know for a fact that it works. I personally knew a girl who grew nearly 4 inches within a year and guess how old she was?24 yeah no joke. All she did was, hanging , jumping, and different stretching exercises , didnt eat anything after 6pm ,and took amino acids before bed. She also said that she ate lots of cottage cheese . She looked like a different person . One thing for sure u gotta let go of that comfort zone once u feel uncomfortable thats when u gonna see changes happening to ur body.

woow 4inches in a year 24 yr old

thats amazing! lol. but yeah i get your point on it takes time and its not a quick fix. I've haven't grown for at least a year and i started stretching and exercising about a month ago and haven't gained even a quarter inch

gary a month is nothing give it some time especially if u haven't grown for a year. I never believed that stretching can help trust me but that girl made me a believer I just couldn't believe my eyes I was totally shocked . It works u just have to be patient and consistent with ur routine, there r gonna be time when u gonna feel really down and that's understandable but dont let it get to. I see that u're kinda obsessing over " this whole thickening cartilage thing" u've asked this question before , as if u need to be reassured that this whole thing is 4 real. Look just do it , after I met that girl I am more motivated than ever, I now know that its possible . Good luck buddy

you are awesome

wow, that is just amazed by that 24 year old and gre 4inch story...
just curious did you grow any throught stretching? I was stretching before for a like 2 weeks then i stop, lol just kinda hard to keep it up everyday and not seeing alot of result.

kevkevwantall,
honestly I never even gave it a try. when i was 13 years old I was told by my dr that i wont grow anymore so I just gave up on it. I read all the different theories on natural HI but never really had enough motivation to put into practice. I always had this materialistic mind and im also a very stubborn person like I have to be 100% sure about things otherwise I cant never commit to iit. It wasnt until recently I started taking philosophy, psychology classes that made think outside the box. Sometimes u just have to be able to ignore ur rationale as crazy as sounds u just have to coz otherwise u wont get anywhere but not to the point where u set up unrealistic goals.
I swear to u I would give anything to be ur age again and give it all i got, I spent years obsessing over my height and not doing anything about , ugh I just wasted so much of my precious time. I just wish I had this level of thinking when I was younger . Try not waste ur time, u just dont know how lucky u r to be at that age u still have a big chance to grow. When i was ur age I would always search for success stories and stuff like that but still wasnt convinced enough to try them out I and I regret it big time . take my word . You were stretching for two weeks and u stopped? how about if u stretch for a couple of months and then make up ur mind of whether or not u wanna continue but 2 weeks is not enough time. as for now u dont have any reasons to quit. U got it all, u're young, im sure u're healthy u just need to set ur mind That it.
as for that girl, she actually changed my life I only wish I had met her earlier in my life.
Im gonna start following her routine i have nothing to loose . ( just to let u guys know not eating before bed is very important thats what she said , so make sure u have a good meal before 6pm, with a protein shake so that u dont feel hungry. Remember were trying to create artificial growth conditions here,( how I see it least), some can eat late at night at still grow coz they're just genetically programmed to so and so they're gonna grow regardless as for the rest of us we gonna have to find ways to make it happen.
