    The first is a medical condition called ‘gigantism’ - the pituitary gland secretes excessive growth hormone, and if this is before puberty it leads to gigantism.
    If it occurs after puberty, it is called acromegaly - the height does not change, but there are significant size changes in the hands, feet and also skull.
    Morteza suffered from gigantism and not acromegaly!

    i grew up in Shelbyville, Indiana and other than a couple visits to our house we saw Sandy Allen frequently. There is the little town of Waldron Indiana which always put on a 4th of July parade and state renowned fireworks show. During one of the 4th of July parades Sandy Allen, sitting in a chair, rode the parade route in the back of my grandfather’s restored 1949 Dodge pickup. This model of pickup wasn’t all that big compared to today’s standards but Sandy definitely filled up the bed. I believe she worked at Ripley’s Believe it or Not in Niagara Falls for a brief period before her passing.

    Tall is admired. But at 6"5 and closing on 60, it's very difficult to get off ground. Legs are the first to go. Shorter stature folks live longer and though they have their issues. Being tall has pro's and cons.

    I met Sandy Allen in the Ripley's museum in Niagara Falls, in the early '80's. She was sitting in an alcove at the front of the building. She saw me come in and she asked me, "How's the weather down there"? I'm 4'10" She and I talked for a 'short' time, and she loved meeting people.

    I had the pleasure of seeing Andre the Giant and a whole bunch of other wrestlers and I got all of their autographs, this had to be 1975 or early 1976. Bobo Brazil was there, Chief J Strongbow(I'm not sure of the spelling after all this time), George the Animal Steel and many many more. Thank you to whoever put this out, it brought back some great memories!

    I accidentally bounced off a guy who was 7'-1 when I was walking into a dark building on a sunny day. I thought I had hit a brick wall. His name was David Robinson. After banging into him I think I was blinking like Stan Laurel as my eyes were trying to adjust. Then looked up to see his smiling face as I apologized, said something stupid, and he and Tim laughed. Tim was kinda tall also. Both very nice guys.

    In 1986 & 1987 In Needles California, there was a full blooded Native American Police officer on the Needles Police force. His nickname was "Bear". He was at the time 7 ft.2 in. Tall and abour 700 - 900+ lbs.( minimum).
    He had a police cruiser that was modified just for him. He sat in the backseat when He drove. The cage was moved from the back seat to the front passenger side & back passenger side. The police cruiser would lean hard to the left when He was in the driver seat. This man is the largest man I have ever laid eyes on in my 52, soon to be 53 years of life.
    In 1986 I was a 16yr-old teenager who wasn't following my mothers rules. I wanted to do whatever I wanted to do! So, my mother spoke with the police department. She told them that she had a 16 yr old Son that was 6ft 2in tall & weighed 200 lbs. She did not want me getting in trouble and being influenced with the wrong crowd. I was staying out all night long & it was just a matter of time before something happened! Could they please have a talk with me?
    They told her they had a police officer that was plenty big enough to get me to listen to him. They said I guarantee you , your son will listen to your after our officer has a talk with him!
    The next day officer bear cane over & had a talk with me. He thanked me up against the law and said I hear you're not listening to your mother boy & you think you're tough now!
    He scared the crap out of me! This man could have literally grabbed me by the throat and lifted me in the air with one hand! I was not perfect after this by any means. I did start listening to my mother!
    Later in life I met a man that was 650 lb. This man was maybe half the size of bear at best. I have no idea how much bears weight was?
    All of my friends at the time told me do not try to run from bear. Can used to be a track runner & was very fast!
    They all told me that he could outrun all of us. They said when bear got going, he was fast & when he was close enough to you, he would throw his entire body weight on you, tackling you to the ground. They said you do not want that to happen!
    There may be 2 nches shorter than Andre the Giant but, he was still a larger man than Andre.

    The thing with Andre and what made him extra exceptional was the fact he was extremely athletic for quite a long time. Until the alcohol and bad habits caught up to him. Unlike the other giants. He could move, really move. Like he was always meant to be that size.

  • @bonnitaclaus2286
    @bonnitaclaus2286 ปีที่แล้ว +87

    True giants are people that are naturally tall, not a hormone problem of giantism. People with this problem are actually very tragic. Their struggles are subject all by itself. Nothing should be tracked by their individualism and their perseverance.

    i wonder why they didn't get this one: some of them in the video died, so this should have been added as well: Felipe Birriel Fernández, also known as "El Gigante de Carolina" (Carolina's Giant) (August 16, 1916 - March 15, 1994) is considered to have been the tallest Puerto Rican, with an unconfirmed height of 2.413 meters or nearly 7 feet 11 inches.

I'm told alot how people wished they were my height. Clothing & shoes aren't a problem because i wear skirts & my feet are normal sized as well as my arms.

    I was an expat for many years working exclusively in remote locations all over the planet. Having completed two contracts in Antarctica, I landed a contract at the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Test Range at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Unaccompanied personnel lived in barracks in two man rooms. Approx a year after I was hired, a new hire (Stew Lily) was assigned to my ground floor room which I'd already remodeled into one of the most hip, slick, and terminally cool bachelor pads on the island.
    We became best buds, best dive buddies, and generally just hung around. We must have looked extremely odd. I'm 5ft 4in & weighed 140lb soaking wet, while Stew stood 6ft 9in & 350lbs. The dude was literally a giant. Man-o-Man did we have some rocking parties in that hooch. Plenty of unaccompanied American females (round eyes), and of course Marshallese native girls who were quite promiscuous & legal requirement of consent according to Marshallese law was 65lbs.
