Quote from: The Dreamer on January 19, 2018, 11:21:22 AMIs this a joke ? Height is almost all due to genetic,malnutrition can take away max 1 cm,not more
What a load of crap. I wish people would stop talking about something that they have no idea of.
Malnutrition is clearly not a problem in the USA. If you are in middle class you can give to your child a decent nutrition, no excuse. Also somalian people are not short. Probably a good genetic.
For hormone therapy, it's seems that people here think it's easy and without any risks. If you're child have no problems, he will not magically win 20 cm. You're dreaming. If you are a 5'4 father you can still have tall children, genetic is strange and fascinating. But here you should ask a specialist.
You should read medical studies about it to be convinced it's not a magic potion. And results are not sure. I saw here some people say that the therapy would bring a 5'5 child to a 6ft tall. He is dreaming.

Clearly there's some misunderstanding. Let me quote myself, with emphasis:
Quotemaybe we first need to tackle bigger problems like malnutrition, which has an immediate impact in addition to increasing height over time.
This means over generations, not in one person's lifetime. The point was that I'd rather spend my money on a well-rounded charity that's also tax deductible. Like I said, for individuals, there's CLL. I even said "consider" growth hormones for my hypothetical kids.
I have lost respect to some of the members here...
If people here actually believe this is not a scam "first donate, and afterwards you will get information" than their level of stupidity is beyond repair....

The point is not if this is a scam or not
The point is that people that want to pay more than 10.000€ for LL are not willing to donate 100€ for a crowdfunding
If it would have been legit, they would have donated much more trust me

The point is that I prefer to give 100 euros to a homeless person than for something that is IMPOSSIBLE for the next 50 years at least, even if someone gathera now 1 billion dollars.
So no, I personally don't believe that my money would go to a realistic cause thats why I won't support it even if it is not a scam.
There is a way to get taller, relatively safe with good results but pricey and needs a lot of time.
Thats the way it is for all of us and the next generation for sure.
That won't change no matter how much money will give for research for tenths of years.
So I don't care what will happen when I will be very old or dead, I prefer to give my money for something that will help someone in the present that research of the distant future.
If you think that by giving 100 euros there will be a result in less than 50 years in how people get taller then donate, noone prevents you.
Dear TIBIKE200,
of course it wouldn´t work with donating before getting additional information, That´s why I said, that I would have to find a researcher, who doesn´t want to protect his ideas with strict confidentiality agreements. Of course this researcher would have to explain his research project idea to the general public. Only if we find such a researcher, a small donation attempt would make sense.
Dear Body Builder,
I don´t think, that it would take so long to develop a safe and effective biomedical height increase therapy, if sufficient funding was available, e.g. the Hong Kong research proposal is based on rabbit studies with a tissue engineered growth plate implant. The bioengineered growth plate was implanted into partially damaged proximal tibial physes of adolescent rabbits. The implanted 3-D chondroycte pellet incorporated well with the host tissue with no sign of rejection. The next step would be to produce artificial growth plate in a larger size for complete growth plate reconstruction and future clinical application in humans. As there are already promissing animal studies, human clinical trials could be realistic within 3-4 years after we find a funding source.
Concerning short term possibilities I am also quite optimistic concerning spinal disc regeneration research. With some specific modifications for the indication "height increase" this could lead to a safe and effective torso lengthening method. A very interesting biotech company in this field of research is e.g. Mesoblast. They are currently doing phase 3 human clinical trials with a disc regeneration therapy: http://www.mesoblast.com/product-candidates/spine-orthopedic-disorders/chronic-discogenic-low-back-pain We haven´t contacted Mesoblast yet, but we will surely do so, if we find a funding source.
Best wishes

Now i ask someting.
if you have to mold/ re-code a genome or DNA
Isent it the same technic you would/could use for Everyting in the human Body ?
Not just hieght but eye color, hand size , skin color and so on ?
It Sounds like a vary big project to me to chance the human Body from within the genome
And a projekt with even greater posebelities Then just hieght increase.
It sounds like a side-projekt on the allready ongoing CRISPR research
best of luck with it.
I just Think you could get more funding if you did the project on a wider field.
That being Said im not a professor so its just what i Think about it.
