Follow-Up to inversion table and glucosamine discussion. 2-3 CM gain in spine

Edit Post

Hello All,

I found this forum on the cure zone, stating that people have gained up to 1.5" of temporary spinal height by using inversion tables.

http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1115847&s=

I have checked a lot of anecdotal sources on the net, and it also seems that some other folks have gained a few CM (usually 2-3 CM). It was found that glucosamine sulfate alone can increase height by up to .8 CM (check my other post for the study), but this is most likely retained morning height.

Anyone feel that glucosamine can assist the gain from inversion to make it more "permanent"?

I'm 176 cm and only looking for a .5" to 1.5" gain, so this may be my strategy.

I do question the legitimacy of this curezone forum btw, but I feel there is a sliver of hope  that at least some of these success stories are legitimate

I guess they don't call this part I'd the forum "off topic" for no reason. Seriously guys, if there is one place we shouldn't judge each other it is on this forum. I am 5 9", so you could make the arguement that spending $60k+ for me is dumb as well, especially since 80-90% of girls won't reject me because of my height.

I posted this stuff to try to get some ideas about spinal elongation, and did not intend  it to turn into pointless bickering. We are all brothers (and maybe sisters here) as we all share a close (and rare) common bond.

Please  check my other post on glucosamine. I provided a  link to the  clinical study that  proved it can increase height

 The idea of this post is to generate critical thinking. Astronauts grow taller in space (up to 2 inches), glucosamine can make you .8 cm taller, gravity boots, inversion, and stretching may be able to make a  slight difference

But if you're 5' 9.2" and only want to be a solid 5' 10" (dream is 5' 11", but I'll compromise), than every fraction of a cm is worth it. Everyone has height neurosis for different reasons. I don't NEED to be tall, but there is a psychological component of calling myself a 5' 10" man, rather than a 5' 9" man. Slightly shorter than avg in US to slightly taller.

Guys, I found this relatively convincing story about someone who increases his morning height by .75 inches.

There is no product placement so it seems relatively believable and sincere.

Take a look:

Panda, have you ever tried also using glucosamine? That may be able to help you retain the temporary height from inversion

Surely a single CM could be possible?

The greater your diurnal spinal shrinkage, the greater the benefit of inversion. 1CM seems to be a realistic goal.

I have 1.5 CM of diurnal spinal shrinkage (177.25 CM to 175.75 CM), so I'm also expecting 1CM from inversion and glucosamine (going to start in the summer). Honestly, with consistency and dedication, that's probably a conservative estimate.
