Considerations

If we don’t cycle properly, the body and mind will become unbalanced, and will eventually consider the foreign compound as a poison rather than a medicine. This is why over time, we build a “tolerance” to things like caffeine. This is the body trying to protect itself from the danger of harmful substances. If your tolerance has gone up, this means the body is responding to physiological damage that it has noticed even if you have not.
