... oh - and I forgot to add the OCCASIONAL 'EMP' impulse
which we are subject to and contains a  W I D E range of EM
frequencies - Lightning strikes!

I've still purporting that *any* EM field mankind can produce
external to a biological cell is miniscule, weak and meager
compared to the forces at work *within* the cell as well
as within a molecule ... leading me to wonder *just what*
is the 'affectation mechanism' whereby a man-made EM field
affects or upsets biological organisms or their functions.
