RE: RFID

Someone responded to my blog on RFID technology by pointing out that not only has animal tagging been going on for years, but also that people have been piercing themselves with metal all over there bodies for years, and that in both instances there has been no reported evidence of the negative impacts of inserting (sterile) foreign objects into living creatures. Here's my response!

You bring up an interesting point! I was thinking more on the lines of the radio-frequencies effects on living creatures more than the actual physical chips. But you are absolutely right that I should investigate it a little further and back up my fears with some stats!
I found that some studies have been done on the "Biological Effects From Radiofrequency Non-Ionizing Radiation" and some effects found were:
EEG brain waves in humans were altered from exposure to cell phone signals. Mice that were exposed to these signals also began to develop irreversible infertility. Other effects of radiofrequency waves on humans were decreased motor function, memory and attention of children and adults, an increase in childhood leukemia from AM-FM exposure, negative changes in the immune system, 18% interference in REM sleep, and a 26% drop in insulin (Wave-guide.org).
Now these effects were all found from different experiments, with varying levels of radiofrequency waves, however, the implications of having radiofrequency devices inside of us seem considerable. Especially when our brains are such delicate wave devices themselves!
I think it would be interesting to further investigate these studies in detail and the effects of radiofrequency levels over time. Here’s the link I found those stats on - if you want to check out the individual studies then take a gander and by all means let me know what you think!
