Re: [Phys-l] Cancer - cell phones, again! ?; No a variation.



Actually a substance does not necessarily have to be "carcinogenic" to cause cancer. Anything that causes long term irritation can cause a variety of problems including cancer. If there is a link with the RF, then the problem may not occurr in domestic animals because the transponders are not used very often. But if the link is the material one should see similar statistics in domestic animals. Many veterinarians are no implanting these chips into domestic pets, so one should be able to analyze an even larger sampling of data.

This is interesting, but it does not necessarily indicate that it is the RF radiation causing the cancers. They could also be caused by some carcinogenic substance in the material that encapsulates the chip.

REPORT FINDS CONNECTION BETWEEN IMPLANTED RFID CHIPS AND CANCER IN ANIMALS

CASPIAN - A new paper titled "Microchip-Induced Tumors in Laboratory Rodents and Dogs: A Review of the Literature 1990-2006" has been released by CASPIAN. The full, 48-page paper provides a review of the academic literature showing a causal link between implanted radio-frequency microchip transponders and cancer in laboratory rodents and dogs. In addition, a brief, four-page synopsis of the full report is being made available.

In six of the articles, between 0.8% and 10.2% of laboratory mice and rats developed malignant tumors around or adjacent to the microchips, and several researchers suggested the actual tumor rate may have been higher. Two additional articles reported microchip-related cancer in dogs.

In almost all cases, the malignant tumors, typically sarcomas, arose at the site of the implants and grew to surround and fully encase the devices. In several cases the tumors also metastasized or spread to other parts of the animals.

Dr. Robert Benezra, head of the Cancer Biology Genetics Program at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, was quoted as saying, "There's no way in the world, having read this information, that I would have one of those chips implanted in my skin, or in one of my family members."

bc found not clear it's the RF (or the potting).
