Do some research!

It is important to do some thorough research first before committing to anything someone is selling because you could end up spending precious money on rubbish. Financial losses aside, you may end up hurting yourself using these fake solutions resulting in irreparable physical damage.

When it comes to grow taller scams, con artists have become quite creative, coming up with simple to complex techniques that appear quite logical scientifically but in truth are nothing more than just pure fantasy. Below are some of the most creative ones that many have fallen prey to.

Hypnotism

Hypnotism

Hypnotism is where you allow someone to bring your mind to a unique kind of relaxed state. While in this state you will be susceptible to what they say.

This one is a classic. Scam artists have sold the illusion to many, many victims that they can use hypnotism to convince the mind that you are indeed taller. And consequently, your mind will bring about the necessary changes to make you taller.

Hypnotism is aimed at the subconscious state of mind which is responsible for controlling your thoughts thereby manipulating your perspective on life.

The sad truth is though, your mind with just its thoughts alone cannot affect growth as this is a physiological process, not a psychological one!

Hypnotism is better suited to overcome habitual problems like addiction and other psychological problems.

Magnetic Insoles

Magnetic Insoles

There are some cons that claim that magnetic insoles can stimulate height growth. The theory is that these magnetic insoles stimulate certain nerves and organs in your body necessary for optimum height growth. They claim to also increase the overall body energy through increased blood circulation making you taller magnetically.

However, as of the present day, there is no proof that they do result in an increase in height. So far science has only proven that specific kinds of magnetic therapy can only offer limited pain relief.

Reflexology

reflexology

Reflexology is a technique performed by a specialist which involves focusing on individual pressure points found on the feet and hands with the aim of treating certain symptoms. The process begins with the specialist applying pressure to the identified spots on the patient’s hands or feet.

After a while specific changes will become apparent to the specialist. They then will continue to focus on these changes until after a period of time you will be able to sense some improvement. Sessions usually last for about an hour and depending on your exact needs, you may require more sessions to achieve the desired results.

The technique appears harmless enough, as the worst case scenario is a relaxing foot massage. Still it’s wise counsel to verify that the specialist is certified by the Association of Reflexology. Just remember that there is literally no medical proof that this kind of treatment will have any effect towards increasing your height.

There are reflexology insoles available that claim to have the same effect as that induced by a specialist. However, claims that these will trigger hormones to stimulate height growth are at best doubtful, and at worst, a scummy grow taller scam.
