Answer 1

It's interesting that you should ask this. I just read of something to help this only yesterday. Must be fate.

I ordered a book through interlibrary loan by the same author, I had been very impressed by over 20 years ago. Dr. Jarvis was an MD who studied Vermont folk medicine. He wrote a lot about apple cidar vinegar. He studied calves and when they were born small, he fed them apple cidar vinegar over their feed and in their water. He also studied other animals and children. When one was undersized drinking apple cidar vinegar caused growth by making the calcium available.

In fact, I went upstair and look it up to give you more info..It starts on page 29..He speaks of several incidences. One an animal with no appetitie that went on to win a 4 H exhibition it grew to such a fine specimin.

Another incidence involved two calves--the 2nd and younger one as very small and the vinegar treatment soon caued it to grow so rapidly that within 10 months, she was larger than any other calf her age that had not been so treated. She developed a "long body and looked ;ike a minature cow. The 4 H supervisor told the boy who owned it that his animal was the best he had seen so far that season and it took first prize later at the fair..the judge said it was the nicest one he'd seen that year.

Another story of 2 Guernsey calves born 2 weeks apart..older was distinctly stronger the younger was a very delicate calf when born. After being given the vinegar in his water, the calf caught up in growth as it was nearly the full size of the other calf and looked unusually well.

He then moved on to children that had stopped growing or were growing slowly..taking a tablespoon in a glass of water at each meal generally resulted in an increased rate of grwoth..as much as 2 inches in 6 months.

He then returned to study cows given vinegar during pregnancy..they observed the cows had easy labors lasting 10 minutes. The calf was of good size, strong, and vigorous. Strong legs, lot of hair on body. It got up quickly within 5 minutres of birth and nursed before a half hour old. It was also very alert and intelligent. No one had to teach it to drink from a pail. When grown they had good milk and fat production in the milk and vigerous digestion and a good nervous system. Pregnant human moms given one tsp in weater at each meal also have an easy labor. Babies have a lot of hair and can raise head off pillow before a week old. They did normally and as they grew had good digestion and nervous system. They all seemed very bright mentally and alert...having strong bodies and minds.

Sometimes Vermont folk medicine teaches to drink the vinegar (about a tbs) with honey (one tbs) in water. This has a large variety of positive effects. You can take a little more if desired.

It is best to only consume RAW apple cidar vinegar (with the cloudy "mother". This is bought at the health food store or health section of some supermarkets like Kroger's. Spectrum and Braggs are two brands. Also use raw honey if you can. (health food store).

Good luck! The child will likely like it as Jarvis noted that children instinctly loved and sought out sour drinks. Another way to take it that I loved as a kid was vinegar over sliced cucumbers with salt (sea salt best). I remember I loved this so much I would lick the plate to get all the vinegar. Back then it was neat (straight vinegar..I certainly don't really like straight vinegar now, but I did then. Jarvis said kids also like dipping bread in vinegar and in Vermont the kids would sneak in the barn and drunk big sips of the cow's vinegar water they sought it out so much. Pickles would also be a good source. Unfortunately, they usually have other ingrediants that are not so great, but if you eat pickles, include lots of those. Maybe that is why pregnant women instinctively want pickles and ice cream lol. One could also make coleslaw with a dressing made of mayo and vinegar.

The book may be obtained here...see sources.

Answer 3

There is nothing wrong with being short, some people wish they werent so tall. there is really no telling what height anyone will be. My daughter is shorter than i am and my son taller than me. some say this is normal but i am taller than my mum and near the same height as my dad but i am also taller than 2 of my older sisters but the same height as one of the 3 and im near the same height as one of my 5 brothers but shorter than 4. my mothers n fathers family are not very tall and for the answer you got that i read... our new generation is getting taller each year

Answer 4

As a wise parent firmly keep this in your mind that shortcut remedies against NATURE may give happy instant results but in the long run ???
Let the child grow with normal growth of body and mind with timely nutritious natural food covering all fruits, proteins, coarbohydrates etc etc, NAtural nutritious food takes care of all that we keep calculating for nutrition.
Keep him under full Physical and mental development activities
BUT from natural sources do not make him a victim of PHARMA prescriptions at this tender age

It is the fact that some African women extend the length of the neck awfully long for beauty, but maintaining it has more problems

Answer 5

Nope, no less than no longer inside 100 actions. It's fortunate that you did not have any issues, first-cousin youngsters are two times as more likely to have beginning defects and 13 occasions much more likely to have genetic problems than the leisure of the populace.

Answer 6

There's nothing wrong with being short and if your child does take after you two, you need to encourage and instill that or they will suffer great insecuritys. There is no definite certainty that they will be short though, especially with all the chemicals and hormones used in food now a days.

There are medical treatments you can do, but these can cause side effects and may do more harm than good. It is expensive, intensive and unecessary. Your child's success and happiness depends on you, not how tall they'll be. Best luck.

5'2 and dang proud here!

Answer 7

Does it matter if your child is short?
It hasn't harmed you or your wife and you both found someone to love and marry and it will be the same for your child

Answer 8

Youv've got to be kidding me? Yeah, you can make these tables where you lay your child on it and tie there hands and feet at each end and stretch them more and more each day!!!Height is completely determined by genetics so love your short kids!!!!!!

Answer 9

standard good nutrition will help the child attain full genetic height. You might find a doc who will give HGH to increase adult height, but it's not strictly ethical.

Answer 10

Every generation seems to get taller. Don't worry we are all supposed to be different. Don't be so body conscious
