Spirulina certainly is not the cause of my great sleep, as that kicked in the very night I watched my first PATHS theater, 2 days before I got ahold of any spirulina. My sleeping problem is something I've been confronting since I was a little girl -- sleep therapy, regular therapy, exercise, relaxation techniques -- and none of these things made one whit of difference. What's happening now is lovely, and it grieves me not at all to imagine spending $35 a month for the rest of my life to keep sleeping like this. Even adjusting for inflation.
Neither spirulina nor PATHS is the direct cause of my sexy new little muscles; the cause of those is my cardio and weight-lifting, which have taken on breakthrough qualities since I've begun PATHS, and my great new eating habits, which are also the result of PATHS. These things, too, began to show up the first day, before I took my first dose of spirulina. (It's protein, so it might be contributing to muscle mass growth.) Would my newfound love of vegetables die, would I enjoy my workouts less, if I stop doing PATHS? maybe, but it wouldn't be a "problem" that I would "need to confront." I still have the satisfaction of working hard to sculpt my sexy little muscles -- I just don't have any of the old hesitation in getting my ass off the couch.
I'm feeling a great urge to organize, construct goals and see them to fruition, and throw myself into projects that I had been procrastinating about before PATHS. This is a shot-in-the-arm, not a replacement for hard work. If anything, I'm working harder now, and enjoying it much more! There was nothing wrong with me that needed to be fixed or "confronted"; it's just nice to have a super-booster.
I'm thinking now that maybe you think I think PATHS is going to do all my work for me, to solve all my problems for me. If that were the case, then I could see how what you're saying would really apply! However, I don't think of it that way. I think of it more as a super-charged vitamin pack. I could still be lazy, or eat poorly, or not work out; but when I choose to go after the things I want in my life, I have a little extra oomphability that I didn't have without it.
Vitamin P! (hee hee, it's okay if that stands for "placebo", Dor!)
