Height genes : The weight yes, the height close to impossible by natural means. Some spine specialist claim they can add some height with manual manipulative adjustment of the spine. Can add about an inch by adding custom soles to your shoes. Would not recommend it for just anyone, but limb length surgery can help add 1-2 inches.

NO!!: At 22 years old, you will not grow taller. It is impossible for anyone to "make" themselves grow taller. If you want to gain weight, there are plenty of sites online that show you how to do this safely - build protein and weight train.
