MICROCHIP IMPLANTS CAUSE FAST-GROWING, MALIGNANT TUMORS IN LAB ANIMALS
Damning research findings could spell the end of VeriChip

The Associated Press will issue a breaking story this weekend
revealing that microchip implants have induced cancer in laboratory
animals and dogs, says privacy expert and long-time VeriChip opponent
Dr. Katherine Albrecht.

As the AP will report, a series of research articles spanning more
than a decade found that mice and rats injected with
glass-encapsulated RFID transponders developed malignant,
fast-growing, lethal cancers in up to 1% to 10% of cases. The tumors
originated in the tissue surrounding the microchips and often grew to
completely surround the devices, the researchers said.

Albrecht first became aware of the microchip-cancer link when she and
her "Spychips" co-author, Liz McIntyre, were contacted by a pet owner
whose dog had died from a chip-induced tumor. Albrecht then found
medical studies showing a causal link between microchip implants and
cancer in other animals. Before she brought the research to the AP's
attention, the studies had somehow escaped public notice.

A four-month AP investigation turned up additional documents, several
of which had been published before VeriChip's parent company, Applied
Digital Solutions, sought FDA approval to market the implant for
humans. The VeriChip received FDA approval in 2004 under the watch of
then Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson who later
joined the
company's board.

Under FDA policy, it would have been VeriChip's responsibility to
bring the adverse studies to the FDA's attention, but VeriChip CEO
Scott Silverman claims the company was unaware of the research.

Albrecht expressed skepticism that a company like VeriChip, whose
primary business is microchip implants, would be unaware of relevant
studies in the published literature.

"For Mr. Silverman not to know about this research would be negligent.
If he did know about these studies, he certainly had an incentive to
keep them quiet," said Albrecht. "Had the FDA known about the cancer
link, they might never have approved his company's product."

Since gaining FDA approval, VeriChip has aggressively targeted
diabetic and dementia patients, and recently announced that it had
chipped 90 Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers in Florida.
Employees in the Mexican Attorney General's Office, workers in a U.S.
security firm, and club-goers in Europe have also been implanted.

Albrecht expressed concern for those who have received a chip implant,
urging them to get the devices removed as soon as possible.

"These new revelations change everything," she said. "Why would anyone
take the risk of having a cancer chip in their arm?"

The Associated Press will issue a breaking story this weekend

That weekend was two weeks ago. Can you point us to the actual breaking
story rather than the press release that says there will be a story?

Can you please point us to the actual peer-reviewed research?

Thanks so much.

Evidently the breaking story about the breaking story on the 'anti
chip' website http://www.antichips.com wasn't that impactful.

VeriChip wrote this a couple of days later:
