Answer
Hi I was wondering if you know anything about growing taller? Yes, see below

I'm an 18 year old female and I'm 5'5 not to short but I would like to be taller,Is there anything I can do to grow taller or is it impossible to grow once you havent grown in a while? Yes, see below, it works until you are at least 25 years old.

Everyone in my family is tall except me, my mom is 5'9 and my dad is 6'3 and I have cousins that are 6'8 shouldn't I be taller considering that information? Yes, it is expected.

also my feet are growing bigger recently does that mean I might grow? It means you can grow if you do everything below everyday for the next couple of years.

and could you tell me if this web site ( kimiheight.com ) is medicaly correct it sounds legitimate. Not really, it is bogus product site.

Ask your doctor but this is what I use for my patients:
1) Fish oil 2000mg (600 mg EPA/DHA) before each meal and at bedtime
2) High Potency B complex, (B-50) before each meal
3) Magnesium oxide 250 mg before each meal and at bed
4) Calcium carbonate with Vit D at dinner and bed
5) Vit C 500 mg before each meal
6) Vit E 400 IU twice a day
7) Cinnamon 1/4 tsp in food or 2 500mg cinnamon capsules before each meal if over weight
8) for best growth you need the arginine in 2 packets of Knox gelatin in warm water at dinnertime to stimulate increased growth hormone but you need to be asleep at least 2 hours before midnight for the best growth since the human growth hormone shuts down at midnight.

You can grow for 2 years but must do it all if Ok with your doctor.
