One of the most important and practical applications of the emerging understanding of the role of cycles in biology is the treatment of diseases. The abnormalities associated with virtually every disease - from allergy, arthritis and asthma to cardiovascular disease and cancer - are themselves organized cyclically and, in particular, along circadian lines. The treatment of such illnesses according to daily rhythms is commonly referred to as chronotherapy. ... A growing body of evidence suggests that therapy could be improved and toxicity reduced by administering drugs at carefully selected times of day.

CONT
