short 17 year olds

[Guest guest]

Dear Dr Bhate

 

Which of your recent recommendations would best suit a 5' 17 year old grandson of a patient of mine. He has considerable facial hair growth typical of his Italian heritage but I am sure that the lack of height is difficult for him and would appreciate any suggestions you might offer for him.

 

Thanks

Puberty is a new milestone in life. Building up of Dhatus by body was

being used by body to grow before puberty. After puberty, same dhatus

are being used to create the material to grow another body, a replica

of the present one. The presence of seventh dhatu "Veerya or Rajas(in

case of girls)" can be seen in moons at the root of nails. If Veerya

or Rajas are carefully preserved till age 24 in boys and 18 in

girls, then they become unbreakable "bullet proof" jacket against all

diseases for lifetime. This is the "Ojas". But even wet dreams can

cause holes in the jacket.

 

Our highest growth rates were after birth, while on mothers milk

alone, totally low fat, low protein diet. As soon as carbs(grains) appear in

picture, growth rates start slowly reducing, as more energy is burned

up in movements, thinking etc. Add proteins and growth rate drops

further, though weight may build up by way of muscle density.

 

This does not, however, mean that if we restart mothers milk, growth

rate may get restored to childhood rate, we cant alter the

programming of our cells carried out by God.

 

google using key-words "precocious puberty". some literature may get

thrown up on

what causes rapid height increase in case of precocious puberty, but

then children lose the height gain which will occure later after

puberty sets in fully. The proverb "slow and steady wins the race"

stands true here. The onion and honey slightly increases growth

hormones, to boost the height, but author has seen that testosterone

may also get boosted!
