Sodium selenate is a common ingredient in nutraceuticals/pharmaceuticals as a source of selenium. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the impact of The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness (Biofield Energy Healing) on the physicochemical, spectral, and thermal properties of The Trivedi Effect ® Treated sodium selenate using various analytical methods such as PXRD, PSD, FT-IR, UV-vis, DSC, and TGA. Sodium selenate was divided into two parts. One part was denoted as the control, while the other part was defined as The Trivedi Effect ® -Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received The Trivedi Effect ® Treatment remotely from eighteen renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The PXRD analysis of the treated sample showed the significant alteration of the crystallite size in the range of -16.63% to 42.9% compared with the control sample. However, the average crystallite size of the treated sodium selenate was increased by 1.01% compared with the control sample. The particle sizes d 10 , d 50 , and d 90 values of the treated sample were significantly decreased by 6.14%, 16.56%, and 18.82%, respectively compared with the control sample. Consequently, the surface area of the treated sample was significantly increased by 10.52% compared with the control sample. Both control and treated FT-IR spectra indicated the presence of sharp and strong absorption bands at 888 and 887 cm -1 , respectively due to the Se=O stretching. The UV-vis spectroscopic analysis displayed that the wavelength for the maximum absorbance of the control and treated sodium selenate were at 204.8 and 204.9 nm, respectively. The TGA of the control and treated samples exhibited two steps of thermal degradation, and the total weight loss was slightly increased by 1.16% in the treated sample compared with the control sample. The DSC thermograms showed the latent heat of fusion (∆H) was significantly elevated by 6.37% in the treated sample compared with the control sample. The current study revealed that The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness (Biofield Energy Healing) might generate a new polymorphic form of sodium selenate which could be more soluble, thermally more stable, and higher absorption rate compared with the untreated sample. Hence, The Trivedi Effect ® treated sodium selenate would be very useful to design the various forms of nutraceuticals and/or pharmaceutical formulation which might be providing a better therapeutic response against heart disease (i. e. Atherosclerosis), viral diseases (i. e. Hepatitis), infectious Advances in Bioscience and Bioengineering 2017; 5(1): 12-21 13 diseases (i. e. Dermatitis, Psoriasis), Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, etc.
Abstract:Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) root extract possesses a broad range of pharmacological activities. The aim of current study was to explore the impact of The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment (Biofield Energy Healing Treatment) on the physical, spectroscopic, and thermal properties of ashwagandha root extract using PXRD, PSD, FT-IR, UV-vis spectroscopy, TGA, and DSC analysis. Ashwagandha root extract was divided into two parts. One part was denoted as the control, while the other part was defined as The Trivedi Effect ® -Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received The Trivedi Effect ® Treatment remotely from eighteen renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The PXRD analysis exhibited that both the control and The Trivedi Effect ® -Biofield Energy Treated samples were amorphous in nature. The particle size values at d 10 and d 50 of the treated sample were decreased by 4.66% and 6.02% and at d 90 slightly increased by 0.99% compared with the control sample. The average surface area of the treated (0.130 m 2 /g) sample was increased by 4.84% compared with the control (0.124 m 2 /g) sample. The FT-IR results suggested that the force constant of O-H (stretching), and C-O (stretching) functional groups of the treated sample were reduced compared with the control sample. The UV-vis analysis revealed that the wavelength for the maximum absorbance of the control and treated samples were at 205.4 nm and 205.6 nm, respectively. The TGA thermograms exhibited three steps of the degradation process, and the total weight loss of the treated (86.45%) sample was increased by 1.44% compared with the control (85.22%) sample. The DSC analysis revealed that melting point of the treated (201.67°C) sample was reduced by 0.87% compared with the control (203.43°C) sample. The latent heat of fusion of the treated (6.77 J/g) sample was significantly decreased by 21.82% compared to the control (8.67 J/g) sample. Hence, the treated sample would be more advantageous for the better therapeutic responses compared to the control sample. These findings suggest that The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment might have the astounding capacity to enhance the solubility, dissolution, absorption, and bioavailability of ashwagandha root extract in various forms of pharmaceutical/nutraceutical formulations by modifying its particle size and surface area. Thus, The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness Healing Treated ashwagandha root extract might provide better therapeutic response against inflammatory diseases, immunological disorders, stress, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, sexual disorders, aging and other chronic infections.
Bone disorder like osteoporosis is an important risk factor for fragility fractures. The main objective of this study was to find the potential of Consciousness Energy Healing based vitamin D 3 and DMEM medium on bone health. The test items (viz. vitamin D 3 and DMEM), were divided into two parts. One part of each sample received the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment by Cathryn Dawn Nykvist and those samples were labeled as the Biofield Energy Treated (BT) samples, while the other parts of each sample were denoted as the untreated test items (UT). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen, and bone mineralization activities were performed to assess bone health in human bone osteosarcoma cells (MG-63). The test samples were found as safe in the tested concentrations by MTT assay. ALP was significantly increased by 88.68% and 166.1% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item and BT-DMEM + UT-Test item, respectively at 10µg/mL than the UT-DMEM + UT-Test item group. Moreover, the ALP level was significantly elevated by 51.99% and 58.32% in the BT-DMEM + UT-Test item and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item, respectively at 100µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Collagen was significantly increased by 135.60%, 149.72%, and 95.90% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item, BT-DMEM + UT-Test item, and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 100µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Further, the collagen level was significantly increased by 83.43% in the BT-DMEM + BT-Test item group at 10µg/mL, while 43.00% and 82.81% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 50µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Besides, the percent of bone mineralization was distinctly increased by 103.28%, 120.78%, and 84.26% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item, BT-DMEM + UT-Test item, and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 1µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Further, percent of bone mineralization was distinctly increased by 104.41% and 81.71% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item and BT-DMEM + UT-Test item group at 0.1µg/mL, respectively compared to the untreated group. Overall, the Biofield Energy Treated vitamin D 3 was significantly improved the bone health parameters and it could be a powerful alternative nutraceutical supplement to combat vitamin D 3 deficiency and fight against various bone related problems including rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, Paget's disease, bone and joint pain, low bone density, bone fractures, osteoma, chondrodystrophia fetalis, stress management and prevention, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and anti-aging by improving overall health.
