Is there a way to make changes to toggles in my .emacs file apply without re-starting Emacs?

I want to be able to make the changes to my .emacs file without having to reload Emacs. I found three questions which sort of answer what I am asking (you can find them here, here and here), but the problem is that the change I have just made is to a toggle, and as the comments to two of the answers (a1, a2) to those questions explain, ...

Why would W32 Emacs insert "/Application Data/Application Data/" into a filepath starting with ~/ when I use C-x C-f?

I just installed Emacs Speaks Statistics, which is when this error started showing up. Uninstalling hasn't fixed it.
