Well... for the body to stay healthy and stay fit, logically, one should allow the body to adapt to something it is 'interested' in and fares well in, only then would the maximum potential be reached. Nutrition is a contributing factor, if one don't take the proper nutrition, how then would one grow...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:After what you say, I start to have doubts whether I can continue growing taller because I very picky about food. For sports, I am not that picky. In fact, I play all kinds of sports.
I think need to wait for miracles.
Playing all kinds of sports doesn't necessarily means that it can help you grow taller, it just helps you to stay fit and away from all the cardiovascular and respiratory ailments. -
Dr Renorenal ineffective? hehe.
I think Dr Renorenal is suggesting healthy lifestyle and some supplements to increase height. The supplements are very frightening.
Got any second opinions? -
He say his family doctor told him he was a late bloomer mar... that was first opinion...Originally posted by alexkusu:waiseh...u keep count ah?
Then he came here... second opinion... but I didn't give him any tips lar... just told him how the body works... after I give advice d then cannot work, he will start suing... so common now...
So if he goes on to another one...

Nutrition very hard for me to do. As I said, I am very picky about food.

Nevertheless, your height will still increase, but it will be much slower and may even arrest much earlier... it may not reach it's maximum potential...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Nutrition very hard for me to do. As I said, I am very picky about food. Supplements will scare me off, and I am left with no choice.
Generally for Asians, height does not matter that much, it is not a prominent focus of topics to talk on... we are genetically meant to be not that tall... If you are able to reach about 1.6m and above, you are considered the cream of the crop liau...
Never take supplements! It's unhealthy and there are side effects towards it. Playing with hormones are not always beneficial... there are loads of side effects... -

This is for alfagal about your acne problems...
Over-the-counter medications: For milder forms of acne. They come in the form of soaps, washes, and cleansers. Many contain a compound called benzoyl peroxide...
It has two actions:-
First, it kills the acne-causing bacteria, which are thought to play a role in acne.
Secondly, it causes drying and flaking off of skin, which can help prevent the pores from becoming plugged. Plugged pores can develop into acne blemishes...
Note however:
Scrubbing excessively with any over-the-counter preparation can actually cause acne to worsen by additionally irritating the hair follicles
Prescription medications: For moderate to severe or is not controlled by over-the-counter medications. Can be used solely or combined with the OTC medications.
Antibiotics: Effective in treating most inflammatory (infected) acne (papules and pustules). Kills bacteria and also by decreasing the redness and swelling seen in the inflammatory forms of acne.
Antibiotics may be applied to the skin in the form of gels and lotions, or by taking it orally. We now know that using a combination of 2 medications together may be very effective in treating acne. Using a topical antibiotic with topical benzoyl peroxide, for example, may prevent bacterial resistance to the antibiotic. Giving an antibiotic by mouth is often needed for acne that is more extensive, red, and tender.
Antibiotics taken orally can be associated with more side effects than if applied to the skin and may interact with other medicines such as birth control pills. There may also be an increase in photosensitivity leading to sun burn or rash...
Retinoids: Medicines made from vitamin A (retinoids) are useful in treating several types of acne lesions. Topical retinoids are effective in treating the noninflammatory (non-infective) types of acne (blackheads and whiteheads).
Topical retinoids help to open clogged pores by creating a mild peeling effect. Drying of the skin can be a frequent side effect. Oral retinoids are reserved for treating the more extensive nodular type of acne or severe inflammatory acne, which has not responded to other treatments. Oral retinoids not only have a peeling effect but also decrease the production of oil.
Some documented facts...
They can also be associated with a number of serious side effects including birth defects in babies of women who become pregnant while taking the medicine. They can also cause elevated blood fats (triglycerides) and damage to the liver. Your doctor may recommend certain blood tests to check for these problems (and to make sure you are not pregnant) if you are given oral retinoids. Depression and suicidal thoughts have been reported while taking oral retinoids.
Other medications: A doctor may recommend other types of drugs to improve acne. For women, medications such as birth control pills or certain "water pills" may be helpful. These drugs counteract the acne-causing effect of testosterone. -
numb with what? joy and excitement?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:My knees went numb on reading this website. -
The instrument used to fix those broken pieces of bone is called an EXTERNAL FIXATOR (type this in google to search for a picture)...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:My knees went numb on reading this website.
It helps to pull the two parts of broken bone ends in place, but close enough to allow new blood vessels to enter the area and start remodelling the bone and form a callus in between. For the lower limbs, it may take up to 6-9 months... they take on the principle of fractures...
Such drastic measures are not proven that effective in long term yet, as there has not been much studies and samples on it, not of my personal knowledge...
