i was wondering if you took large enough quantities of growth hormone like GABA or something would it make you grow?

only if you are young.. 12-14. They have to be injections too.

Ok, why did we get into Acromegaly any way?? He isn't asking how he can get a disorder, and you wouldn't want Acro any how?? Acromegaly is caused by prolonged overproduction of GH by the pituitary gland. The overproduction is caused by a tumor of the pituitary.
So, I don't think he is looking for this route, and any way you don't just get taller like you mentioned.
Again, if you are young, and can get blood work done and the doc finds the you are GH deficient, you can be prescribed protropin for subcutaneous injection. Price is about 25k per year, and normal growth rate is about 1" every 3 months.

Ok, I don't know how Mantecas post applies to this subject, but if you are young like I stated; more then likely you aren't but disregard that post. We are talking about GH for height, NOTHING ELSE.
