If gravity could patented and prescribed it would probably be used more by the medical industry today. However gravity can and does alleviate medical problems. Take, for instance, the Amish cure of climbing down stairs head-first on hands and knees for an appendicitis attack. Since your appendix are sort of a pocket, the motion and effects of gravity when crawling down a flight of stairs head-first can help the body remove infected material, much like dumping a water-filled boot.
Another gravity remedy used for hiatal hernias is to jump off a chair after a meal. The gravity will tend to pull the stomach, and contents, down to relieve the pressure on diaphragm and upper portion of the stomach.
I do not advocate or recommend these home remedy but offer them as examples of what some people have found to work for them. Obviously, you can break a leg jumping off a chair or tumble down the stairs while performing a folk remedy. Furthermore, these remedies came about when there were fewer options for medical cures. It would be foolish to not utilize modern medical treatments for ailments today.
