AB The  ideal  treatment  of  venous  valvular  reflux  disease  is  the  elimination  of  gravity.  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.
