I went through puberty very early and I stopped growing when I was 11 yrs old. Or so I thought.
In my first 3 months of going raw I noticed my pants seemed a tad bit short. I measured myself and found that I'd grown about 1/2 of an inch.
At the doctor's office today I was officially measured and I've grown 3/4" in the past 9 months that I've been raw. I'm now 5'2" tall, while before I was only 5'1.25" .
It's not that much of a height difference, but I'm thrilled none-the-less. It's exciting to have some proof that my body is finally getting the nutrition it needs to do extraordinary things. Hopefully I'll keep growing even taller, but I'm also happy where I'm at.
My doctor also commented that I had great low blood pressure and good iron levels. Yippee! :D

rawstrength, yes, it proves that raw provides the building materials your body needs. I hope your success continues!

Good for you Rawstrength!!

Yeah, I've gained an inch in height. My boobs got bigger to. Went from 38C to 36D. Don't know how that happened. :)

I had bad nails and hair growing up, I"m sure due to vitamin deficiency. I seem to have grown in all directions - even my teeth have grown wider apart - I"m going to need braces to get them close together like before. That's OK. I"m happy about the boobs and getting taller.

Just curious...does your doctor know you're raw?

Nope. My doctor asked me about my recent trip to China, mentioned that the food in China was bad and I said that I was a vegetarian.
She said that she would probably go vegetarian if she went to China, to avoid eating dog and chicken feet.
So, she only knows I don't eat meat, and seems to support that.

Wow, I want rawxtasy's results... One reason I allowed myself to gain weight in the first place was because I was always a stick before. I got to about 140 lbs and wow, I had boobs and hips! Not huge, but they were there! Unfortunately, I did not stop at 140 lbs... and I've sort of half-heartedly tried to lose the weight before but really wished I could keep it in a couple of spots and only take it off the tummy... :rolleyes:
