This question appeals to transhumanists, doctors, students, biotechnologists, and philosophers - basically anyone.

Once the epiphyseal plates of the long bones have closed, further bone growth is considered impossible. Considering that height, or lack thereof, has considerable sociological ramifications, will it be possible to one day "choose" our height? Many of you know that shorter people are on average paid less, date less, and are respected less. A recent study revealed that shorter people may even be less intelligent.

Can biotechnology, nanotechnology, future medical technology help allieviate this disease to the people it has already inflicted? We already have the "Ilizarov Method," or 'limb lenghtening' method as one form of primative invasive biotechnology.

Recently, an ultrasound device has been developed by scientists to regrow teeth. It may be one day used for people to gain height. Please read the attached link. When do you think this will happen?

Someone asked this questions a few days ago and was closed to answers. Someone answered no there were no natural remedies that work---they are dead WRONG!!! I have used Calm Forte for years with great success and no side effects. Insomnia (both by Hylands) on days when I can't seem to shut my mind down or I wake up in middle of night and can't go back to sleep, they melt in your mouth so you don't even have to get out of bed to take them. If you don't have access to a good Health Food Store you can also buy Simply Sleep over the counter it works good too but I tend to feel a little groggy the next day but not as bad as other otc products. You can also put lavender essential oils on a kleenex and put it near you it will help relax you, chamomile tea, valerian, melatonin are also other options you have (all also available at health food store). I have recommended these products to many of my friends and they are helping them so I hope this helps whoever is looking for sleep!!!!

I was told I only needed to take 1 or 2 pacs of Three-lac for Candida but 5 months later I still have it. On another site they mentioned taking a "therapuetic dose" until the candida is gone. Anybody have any clue how much that is? Thought I was gonna save money & get over this quicker but now I feel scammed.

I have found that making things for myself is a wonderful way to heal correctly. I moved from the south to the north and my skin became a disaster. A friend gave me a lotion bar. It was wonderful. It cured those places by my elbows that looked awful. I have made a couple of batches and love what it does. I have been giving these bars away. I would like to learn how to make other things too. Can anyone share recipes with me? I would love to learn how to make any things like this. I would like to learn recipes for acid reflux, for detergent that doesn't make you itch, soap, anything. I am allergic to soap and have always just scrubbed and rinsed very fast. Now I have hope. Thanks so much.

I have taken medication for Major Depression, Dysthymia, aniety and panic attacks for more than twenty years. I also work in mental health and I have some basic basic medical knowlege. I'm also interested in seeing if St. John's Wort can help me. Why can't I get it the way I want it?

I have found it two forms; gel caps and in drops that are mostly alcohol. I am a vegetarian and gelatin is made out of animal products. I don't drink alcohol; it's against my religion and I used to have a problem with it a long time ago.

Anybody know where I can get St. John's Wort that isn't in gel caps or alcohol? I know I can take it out of the gel caps or boil away the alcohol, but that seems like a lot of trouble.

ok. so, I heard this myth about if you take Zinc, your brain will react to it, thus making the brain smarter, and think faster, etc. Is this true? I saw this on Kron 4 News, but I didn't see the whole thing, so I don't know the details to it. But I know that they said Zinc helps your brain a lot. Is it true that if you take zinc pills you get smarter?
