Some biologicals consider mere radio waves as slim pickins. They prefer gammas:

Shades of "The Andromeda Strain".

Hmmmm. Fungal goo as a gamma shield fer me space hopper...

Katherine Pollard: "Massive Data Sheds Light on Your Microbiome" | Talks at Google
Published on Jan 26, 2016
The most influential “organ” in the human body might be made up of foreign cells—six pounds worth of microorganisms. Katherine Pollard discusses how her lab at the Gladstone Institutes uses big data and high-performance computing to study the human microbiome and learn how it influences health and disease.

The human microbiome plays a role in processes as diverse as metabolism, immune function, and mental health. Yet despite the importance of this system, scientists are just beginning to uncover which microorganisms reside in and on our bodies and determine what functions they perform. The development of innovative technology and analytical methods has enabled researchers like Dr. Pollard to decode the complex interactions between our human cells and microbial brethren, and infer meaning from the staggering amounts of data 10 trillion organisms create.
Really insightful talk yielding insight for those who still think in terms of human genetics and disease, so 20th century...

It is amazing how these researchers can grasp the existence of the Microbiome without grasping the cause of chronic disease, intracellular bacteria and fungi and innate immune system dysfunction. She does seem to be almost there though.

Then the second elephant herd in the room which is ubiquitous RF and its incredible spectrum and signal type which overlays this unfathomable dogs dinner. In that regard she hasn't made that connection at all.

Instead the researchers retreat to reductionism data Matrix.

For those who are not convinced of the importance of the microbiome of humans. at the very least they should look at the importance in other creatures.

I'm a beekeeper. Bees can't live without the microbiome. We're just beginning to understand how it works, but it is essential for producing honey and processing pollen into food they can use.

Like burgers? Thank a smelly mix of anaerobic micro-organisms, mostly protozoa, that digest cellulose.

Similar organisms also digest cellulose in termites and some roaches. Expose the insect to high oxygen concentration and the anaerobes die, and shortly thereafter the insect starves.

Humans are not quite so dependent, but we're not complete without healthy microbes in our guts, and even on our skins. We disrupt them at our peril.

It also goes the other way too, Microbiome overgrowth...

Here is an article that shows how something that effects the vagus nerve suppresses the immune system through reduction of TNF-Alpha. Remember the article above where lost limbs can make a person feel pain in the presence of cell signals?

Single low-magnitude electric pulse successfully fights inflammation

Summary:
The results of research on the therapeutic potential of vagus nerve stimulation have now been released. Prior to this study, it was not understood which vagus nerve fiber types were responsible for reducing the body's inflammatory activity. The paper's findings indicate that activation of either motor or sensory vagus nerve bundles can diminish inflammation.

The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, the research arm of the North Shore-LIJ Health System, and SetPoint Medical Inc., a biomedical technology company, released the results of research on the therapeutic potential of vagus nerve stimulation. In a paper published by Bioelectronic Medicine, Kevin J. Tracey, MD, and his colleagues at the Feinstein Institute, explore how low-level electrical stimulation interacts with the body's nerves to reduce inflammation, a fundamental goal of bioelectronic medicine.
Prior to this study, it was not understood which vagus nerve fiber types were responsible for reducing the body's inflammatory activity. The paper's findings indicate that activation of either motor or sensory vagus nerve bundles can diminish inflammation.
"Identifying the exact role of the different nerve bundles in the inflammatory reflex bolsters our understanding of the relationship between the central nervous system and the vagus nerve," said Dr. Kevin J. Tracey, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institute. "Furthermore, we now know that stimulating the vagus nerve for as little as half a millisecond is enough to inhibit tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production."
After establishing the neural bundles activated in vagus nerve stimulation, the researchers found that only low-intensity, short-duration, electric pulses were needed to reduce the production of inflammation-inducing cytokines. Repetition of the pulses did not increase the success of the treatment in this experiment indicating that a single stimulating pulse is potentially sufficient.
"Seeing successful results with low-level electrical current is a significant finding," said Yaakov Levine, PhD, senior research scientist, SetPoint Medical. "This indicates the potential for limited side effects, as well as promise for device miniaturization, both of which will be important to bringing vagus nerve stimulation into the mainstream."
