Default Can you make yourself taller?

I am 5' 11", but I would prefer to be 6' 2". How would I do that? Is there anything to eat, drink, wear (besides big shoes) to make myself taller?

Just curious. I don't think there is, but I thought I would post.... somehow I am now on page 3 for top "posters", and I prefer to be on page 1 or 2.

I'm 6'4" although I was'nt this tall until the 10th grade. No one else in my family is over 6'. I know I ate alot of frozen pizzas back then. Stand tall and be confident and you'll gain at least an inch.

well for little people they've lengthened their shins by cutting through the bone, affixing rigs and having them turn it "x" amount over the duration of healing... this way new bone slowly grows in so eventually they can reach a height where reaching things isn't as much of a chore.

sounds painful!

That would cost more than penis surgery

No, there's no way of being taller, excluding some kind of surgery, but that's only for people who have disability or who are really really short, I don't think eating or drinking has anything to do with growth, it's just heriditary.. besides, 5'11 isn't too bad..
