>His growth spurt was much better than mine
>6' vs 5'7.5" adult heights, so not a small difference
Anyway the science on growth and development is flawed and it's way more up to the environment than people are willing to admit (because it would mean that social policy, economic inequality, and habits literally sicken and stunt people in preventable ways). Sleep, diet, mood, all the difference between being a full-grown man and a manlet. Not that farfetched for a species whose close relatives don't even reach their last stage of sexual maturity if they're not the dominant male during a critical window.

Your bother probably had good genetics and other contributing factors.
If removing tonsils gave someone superpowers like that, I'd imagine the (((board certified doctors))) would make the procedure outright illegal or at the least heavily restricted because of some retarded "moral" reason.
Case in point CCR5∆32 gene knockout leads to HIV resistance and increased cognitive functions. But you can't do that on humans!

It's well-known, but they couch it as "it makes the kids gain weight".

Oh, to explain the chart: the kids that weren't already tall jumped between 0.5 and .75 SDs. The short kids were short because of however the tonsils were fucking them up (poor sleep and frequent illness), not because of "genes".

Really reaching for excuses. it sounds like you’re totally losing your mind over milk and tonsils.
You know, I’ve heard that drinking milk can make some people feel gross because they might be lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy products which is a genetic thing that runs in families.
Let’s get real here. Your brother might have naturally outgrown dairy earlier than you did but that doesn’t mean getting your tonsils removed will magically fix all your problems. Tonsillectomies help with recurring infections and sleep apnea. Guess what stopping recurring infections and sleep apnea does? Guess what stopping something that makes you feel ill does?

Yeah, that was my point. "It's genes" is a poor explanation for close-born siblings growing up in the same household. I've long thought that seemingly small and inconsequential differences might have a larger effect than people are willing to admit; small effects that compound. Catch-up growth spurts are also common for children with Celiac disease who cut out gluten. How many other environmental variables are silent stunters?

No thank you.

tonsils are good for you, they train the immune system
the reason for the growth spurts is that they take up space and prevent breathing in those with poor maxillofacial growth, especially during sleep
a lot of growth factors boil down to nutrient availability, especially protein, glycine and sleep
ADHD, ASD, MDD, SAD, TS, OCD and so on all indicate metabolic dysfunction, which is one of the major risk factors for the neurological issues that lead to those conditions
both sleep and metabolic function are directly linked to the nutrients contained in food - generally speaking sugar and grain is highly damaging to your metabolism, mainly by causing excess oxidative stress within the mitochondria
high sugar diets also lead to a cycle of high cortisol and high insulin and this is not only an additional cause of general illness and poor development, but it also damages sleep and thereby mental health in major ways
so it really all goes back to the idea that you cannot feed children a bunch of grain and expect them to grow up healthy
we feed grain to pigs in order to produce sick, fat animals and we somehow delude ourselves into believing that it will not result in sick, fat children also?
once you are away from cereal grain, you could look at other plants, but many are simply too hard to digest for children
in fact, they are born in ketosis
when you consider this you have to come to the conclusion that healthy growth in children requires mainly fatty meat, with an addition of some plants, (less than half of the caloric intake), if the children want to eat them
naturally the additional chewing required, combined with the reduced sugar intake also results in a better dental and facial development
genetics require a proper environment to function correctly, this is the environment we evolved for, which no longer exists
to evaluate individual genetics by adaptation to the current dysfunctional environment, is to doom the human species - only retards do this

>A total of up to 1 189 061 children were included in this study (48% female); 17 460 underwent adenoidectomy, 11 830 tonsillectomy, and 31 377 adenotonsillectomy; 1 157 684 were in the control group. Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy were associated with a 2- to 3-fold increase in diseases of the upper respiratory tract (relative risk [RR], 1.99; 95% CI, 1.51-2.63 and RR, 2.72; 95% CI, 1.54-4.80; respectively). Smaller increases in risks for infectious and allergic diseases were also found: adenotonsillectomy was associated with a 17% increased risk of infectious diseases (RR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.10-1.25) corresponding to an absolute risk increase of 2.14% because these diseases are relatively common (12%) in the population. In contrast, the long-term risks for conditions that these surgeries aim to treat often did not differ significantly and were sometimes lower or higher.

Circumcision-like propaganda, ironically in the other direction.
