Natural Cures for Problems in People who are Big and Tall, Short and Small
Many people are short due to their genetic makeup, however there are a number of medical conditions that can cause dwarfism. These are beyond the scope of this introduction. However PLA Resource Center is a good source of information.
Similarly most people who are tall have inherited their stature but there are a number of medical conditions which can cause excessive tallness. These may broadly fall under the umbrella term of Gigantism, and include marfan's syndrome, soto's syndrome and acromegaly.
Most clothes, seats, beds, cars and other items are designed for use by a standard size of person of average build. If you vary much from this stereotype you will have difficulties in lots of areas of living. If you do have experience of such problems and importantly their solutions please help others in this community.
