I've researched your questions and have the answers.
A person's height is determined by how our genes interact with the
environment. If you live in a healthy way, you will achieve your
greatest potential height. The most important things you can do are to
get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, eat a well-balanced diet, and
avoid alcohol and drugs.
Your body will continue to get taller until the growth plates on your
bones close. People stop growing at different ages. You might stop
growing in your mid teens. Or you might continue growing into your
twenties. How tall you get is mainly determined by how long your long
bones are.
If you believe you are not as tall as you should be, you might have
have an absence of a growth hormone. Your doctor can run tests to find
out if you lack this hormone. It's quite possible! I've found that
some symptoms of this loss of growth hormone include arthritis and a
severe changing of your facial features.
An article written by Oregon State University researchers states, "For
persons with a documented absence of growth hormone, administration of
this hormone can help them to acheive 'normal' stature, but this is
indicated only for persons clearly way below normal growth curves and
a documented (by lab tests) deficiency. Growth hormone given after
bones have stopped growing (for example at 22) would be more likely to
induce acromegaly. This is a disease seen in persons that secrete too
much growth hormone. The symptoms are significant corsening of facial
features, hyperplasia of joints and severe arthritis."
If your doctor finds that your bones are abnormally short, this can be
corrected through a process called articial stretching. Your bones
will be broken and the bone parts will be attached piece by piece to
steel rods that can increase the length of your bones, and thus, make
you taller. This is said to have a high success rate but is painful.
You may read about PFFD, a syndrome in which bones don't properly
grow. The link is http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/kainen/pffdproj.html
You may read one child's story about PFFD at his web site. The link is

Some doctors are against limb lengthening. This web site sponsored by
Georgetown University, writes, "WHY SOME DOCTORS ARE AGAINST LIMB
LENGTHENING: There are many reasons for this. One is prejudice against
medical procedures from other countries. I'm not kidding. One doctor
told me "they" didn't believe in anything from "foreign countries". To
make things worse limb lengthening came from the former Soviet Union,
remember the cold war thing? Add to this the arrogance that American
medicine is superior because it's American. When the Ilizarov Method
was first discovered there was some excitement and doctors quickly
began trying the procedure in the 1960's without extensive training in
the method. When they didn't get the results they wanted, American
doctors seemed to give up on the technique and decided it didn't work.
Limb lengthening is a difficult and complicated procedure and when
done by an unskilled doctor or untrained in the procedure or in how to
deal with the complications, the results can be disastrous. Some
doctors are too arrogant, full of pride, or jealous to admit that
another doctor can help their patient and they can't.
Doctors are human after all but, unfortunately, a few tend to
think they are more superior than the average human. Some doctors may
be prejudiced against the procedure. Another reason is they may
believe that you or the child's particular case may have complications
that the doctor can't surgically repair and if he can't fix it then it
can't be fixed, right? They may also be too skeptical or unsure of the
limb lengthening procedure that they won't refer the patient to a
doctor experienced in limb lengthening. One important reason may be
you as a parent or the patient. Many doctors will follow your lead in
how you are dealing with the situation. It can depend on you. If you
are demanding to know all of your options they will give you that,
some will do so reluctantly. If you seem upset and can't deal with the
situation, they will offer you the quickest and easiest solution
possible. For example, in an unrelated situation, a doctor was giving
a young boy who had very severe mental retardation a stronger dosage
of seizure medication than was needed in order to keep him heavily
sedated. The boys' mother was complaining to the doctor that she could
never keep him awake. He finally told her that he was giving the child
more medication than was necessary to keep him sedated because some
parents wanted their child kept quiet and asleep. He assumed it would
be easier on her if her child was kept sedated and that she would want
it that way as well. By the way, judging by her raised voice, he
assumed wrong. Doctors not only consider the patients needs, they,
also, consider the family's needs as well and they sometimes make
assumptions. The point is they could be following your lead on
deciding what treatment they will offer.

Seems have a big turn in a person's life. The external form of a person is ideal in the eyes of the planet when every feature is assembled in flawlessness or very nearly there. Of all of them, height represents an important role.
Height is not just lots is one of the critical standards in plenty of areas: sports, being a part of the security force, wooing someone, obtaining a work or just bolstering one's assurance therefore, if you want to be slightly taller you just have to use this program https://bitly.im/aL3RW , grow taller 4 Idiots.
The combination of proteins with growth hormones, could certainly lead to a taller stature and this really is what you would study on this book, how you can set this mixture used because this system really work for nearly all people.

Since you are still young, there is the possiblity that you might be able to grow 6 inches in a few months but its a slim possibility at best.
There isnt really anything that you can do to grow, just eat healthy and drink milk.
I wish you the best of luck getting into NCC camp.

Stop taking cod liver pills, in that quantity they are dangerous.
6 inches in 4 months. Well, that's almost impossible, possibly dangerous and it will hurt. Your body isn't designed to grow that much that fast.
The only way to force your body to grow more than it will naturally is to take Human Growth Hormone. This is VERY EXPENSIVE.
Your not abnormally short for 13 so your just going to have to realize that this is not something that you can control. It may be your fathers dream but is it your?
You could see a doctor but you said money is tight and your doctor will tell you you are normal height and it would be expensive to have growth treatments.....

6 inches in 4-5 months? It is not good to think it in this way. You are still young and you can grow up to the height you want, not to be in hurry. But you have a growing mind. You will grow. Not to try any easy methods, which is harmful to your growth. Good luck!

Boys that age love cars and trucks while girls love princesses. Make sure it is bright and colorful and the pictures/objects are big enough that they can see them easily but can't reach up and pull them off (I lost a few mobiles that way until I learned to hang them higher).

You can't make yourself grow, especially 6 inches in 4 - 5 months. Your height is determined in your genes, and unfortunately that's something you don't have control over.

you could get HGH (Human Growth Hormone) injections, but they are expensive and risky. The other, even more risky approach would be pituitary gland modification/injection. This is how giants (7 ft+) grow.
