Thanks for the immense list of references on the effects of gravity on
our body.

Of course it doesn't matter in the Zen sort of way. But it certainly
matters in scientific study.

Er... Your references just point that gravity has effects on the
physiological state of the human body, which no one doubts. But what
it doesn't show is: any clinical data how sleep position affects
multiple sclerosis.
If there is a reference for any such study, please cite it so I can go
and look at it.

Look, I'm not disputing that grvaity exists and that it affects living
beings. What I am disputing is whether or not you can claim it affects
us to such a scale. It's like saying "magnetic fields affect much of
life on earth, why aren't humans healed by it?" No logical link.

How do you measure the 'specific gravity of urine'?
