OTOH I was visiting my tame biochemist friend today and he is interested
in it as he has always suspected that there was a lot more to myelin
sheaths on nerves than they are usually given credit for. A QM mediated
higher transmission efficiency of signals *might* just be plausible.

 My theory is that the electrical pulses we see in long nerves are just
chemical refreshes, not the data carriers themselves.

That isn't any kind of scientific theory - it is too feeble even to be called a conjecture. Wild imagining is still far too polite. Crazy idea perhaps?
Direct sensor input of neuron pulses to the brain using a mesh of micro electrodes to stimulate the visual cortex has already been used to interface limited resolution sight and sound to humans creating in effect cyborgs. Problem is that even with the best biocompatible materials is gets covered in scar tissue and stops working.

They must understand the brain's basic signalling system to be able to make the link work. The brains plasticity allows it to learn to decode the signals sent and so get a crude image of the external world.
Likewise with the latest generation of bionic limbs that the user can control by thought much like they would a real flesh and blood arm.
