Chip Implants Linked To Animal Tumors (AP)

Posted September 09, 2007 3:30 PM

From Yahoo! News: Technology News:

AP - When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved implanting microchips in humans, the manufacturer said it would save lives, letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients' medical records almost instantly. The FDA found "reasonable assurance" the device was safe, and a sub-agency even called it one of 2005's top "innovative technologies."

In several countries identification chips are routinely implanted in pet dogs. It should be relatively easy to collect chip associated cancer data from the attending vets.

They also chip allot of horses.

I wounder if the chip is the problem or the proximity to the RF transponders signal output. The Inverse square rule and you can't get much closer.

If this is true then: the excitation of the chip causes →out put→causes RF in cells→ causes DNA damage leading to cancer.

To induce cancer read the chip how many times?

Just a thought.
