Help needed on childs growth development

Posted By Mvaha (Delhi, India) on 08/20/2011

My daughter is 5 years old and weighs 13kg and her height is 98 cm. Her bone age shows 3 years. She eats well. She is doing well in class, very active. My height is 152 cm and my husband is 168 cm tall. I don't want to give my child growth hormones because of the side effects... Please help

Hi Mvaha, EC's page https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/grow_taller.html#RN would be worth looking at, Dianne from Tampa had success with Aloe Vera. My personal opinion (I have no real evidence) is that iodine may play a part in growth. As a lot of people are iodine deficient you could try iodine painting. Please do some research first though. The other question is does she have any kidney problems as some of them can cause stunted growth. Lack of Zinc has been known to cause stunted growth in children. Potassium and magnesium can play a role in growth too. I have read that lack of B-12 can cause it, not sure where I read that.

In Egypt a group of 107 children with stunted growth were examined and found that serum haemoglobin, alpha-tocopherol, retinol and magnesium levels were significantly decreased and zinc was also decreased. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15339114
So it may be worth looking at shilajit. All the best in your search.
