Will Ayurveda Be Helpful In Treating Growth Hormone Deficiency?

Hello Dr. My daughter's height is 4'-9". She will be 15 yrs in Aug 2011. She was diagnosed of Growth Harmone deficiency some 8 months back. I started to give GH by daily injection since last Nov 2010. But after that only 1.25" height is increased. Now she is 4'9". My height is 5.9 and My wife height is 4.11. Her bone age is about to fuse. Now I want to stop this GH therapy. Whether Dr Ayurveda's Growth Medicine is helpful for her.

1. be under constant/regular supervision of Pediatrician and since there is no alternative to of hormone in any - pathy thus regular check up/follow up and observation will decide the outcome, at her age [15 years] fusion of long bones still have 2-3 years to fuse thus increase in height is still possible by eating a healthy-balanced and nutritious diet and practicing pranayam,yogasanas, back exercises that stretches the spine along with Growth Medicine.

PS.
i. Height of an individual also depends upon the height of the parents [genetic], if they have short stature, their siblings can/may have the same height. [as described in your history].
ii. No Pharma company will ever describe his/her product not to be authentic, and as you know 90% of knowledge is attained through eyes, this is the reason of showing their products on television.
