Taking control of one's own health is always the first step, and as we get more tools to track and eventually get the means to cure ourselves, imagine what the world will be like then...

Let me guess, someone who started an "institute", which is an official sounding term that means nothing. Wiley Brooks, the founder of the Breatharian Institute "states that his potential followers must first prepare by combining the junk food diet with the meditative incantation of five magic [more gibberish]". Jasmuheen, a "prominent Breatharian advocate" couldn't even manage to go a week when 60 Minutes monitored her. Certified by who?

Whether it be seeding of clouds for the prevention of rain, as the article above examines, or attempting to create rain over a certain area by similar actions (as the previous commentator covers), both are done with only a very limited understanding of the bigger picture environmental outcome. I sincerely doubt whether we know what we are doing up there, folks. From chemtrails to weather games, some nasty stuff is going on up there that we know nothing about. No one is asking us for our input any day soon, mark my words. That Americans and other nations are involved in similar questionnable activities you can be darn sure.

One can read about such effects now everywhere on the internet. Colin Andrews, for one, is a researcher who has shown that tampering with clouds in one place can have disastrous effects elsewhere, let alone quite unexpected results in the very place the action is performed (recent case in point: weather tampering in Australia has played havoc with the continent, creating flood type conditions in dry areas,negating whatever good might have been achieved by causing a little rain to fall where it was needed). This is definately a one-sided article we have here, conveniently avoiding even a 'nod' to the environmental repurcussions that can come from 'playing god' in such a manner. It should be added here also that throwing cement, let alone chemicals of any and all kinds, into the earths atmosphere is a truly frightening act. Whatever is placed into the atmosphere RETURNS to earth again, as we are these days only too aware. The chemicals always reappear below, contaminating the precious water and coating vegetation in 'invisible' muck. Animals and humans breathe this stuff in, for heavens sake. Thus let us not glibly joke about 'adjusting the weather' for weddings and so forth. Are we truly such a self-involved and ignorant bunch here on earth that we would participate in the continued destruction of this beautiful planet for the sake of yet another 'good time' on the parade grounds? When will we see the error of our ways...
