The only known setting in which zero gravity can be sustained is in outer space. Certainly major shifts of body fluids occur in astronauts on sustained missions. Although space flight has never actually been tried for treating venous insufficiency, it is reasonable to predict that all symptoms from the disorder would improve. Of course, the earth-bound sufferer must adapt methods of treatment which necessarily compromise this theoretically perfect solution.
