Hello Practo User,
No hope..
Increasing height by the methods you think are impossible.
Only way is by limb lengthening surgery which has its own risks.
In the medicals if they find out that you have undergone a surgery they will disqualify you...
So accept what God has given and proceed.
Regards.

Height increase is natural
You cannot increase height like this, it's only done in select congenital disorders to correct deformity.
