She reports on her experiences; the results of the experiment. "How much your life is going to be different" is at this moment merely an unsupported belief. I prefer when people separate these.

Okay, maybe for you it had life-changing effects. I would like to read an article about it, because you seem to know a lot. Preferably one that focuses on the technical "how to" parts. The effects, if they are real, I would then experience myself.

It's just that saying "your life is going to be different" and not supporting it with evidence... gets you a downvote on LW. Not because the topic is taboo, but because of the way it is presented.
