Well, it does seem like it could make sense. Though if someone argued the opposite, I'd see how that could make sense, too.
> I don't know, and I don't think that any theory was offered by the abstract I read, ...but it's been suggested to me that taking drugs irregularly causes excessive stress on the body--cells, organs, everything. The theory seems to be, from that point of view, that if a drug regimen is regular, the body can adapt to it predictively. This is apparently supposed to be healthier, as well as causing less tolerance. Some docs clearly have an opposing view, though.
