A Comprehensive Analytical Evaluation of the Trivedi Effect<sup>®</sup> - Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment on the Physical, Structural, and Thermal Properties of Zinc Chloride

Abstract

Abstract:Zinc chloride has an importance in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for the prevention and treatment of several diseases. The objective of the current study was to investigate the impact of The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment (Biofield Energy Treatment) on physical, structural, and thermal properties of zinc chloride using PXRD, PSD, FT-IR, UV-vis, TGA, and DSC analysis. Zinc chloride was divided into two parts -one part was control, while other part was treated with The Trivedi Effect ® remotely by eighteen renowned Biofield Energy Healers and defined as The Trivedi Effect ® Treated sample. A significant change of the crystallite size and relative intensities of the PXRD peaks was observed in The Trivedi Effect ® treated sample with respect to the control sample. The average crystallite size of the treated sample was significantly increased by 41.22% compared with the control sample. The size of the particles at d 10 , d 50 , and d 90 was increased by 8.33%, 6.27%, and 1.83%, respectively in the treated sample compared with the control sample. The surface area of the treated sample was decreased by 5.90% compared with the control sample. The FT-IR spectroscopic analysis revealed that Zn-Cl stretching in the control and treated sample were at 511 and 507 cm -1 , respectively. The UV-vis analysis exhibited that wavelength of the maximum absorbance of both the control and treated samples were at 196.4 and 196.3 nm, respectively. The TGA analysis exhibited that weight loss of the treated sample was reduced by 13.98% and 2.43% in the 1 st and 2 nd steps of degradation, respectively. Consequently, the DSC analysis revealed that the maximum thermal decomposition temperature of the treated sample (489.06°C) was significantly increased by 15.75% compared with the control sample (422.50°C). Moreover, a significant increase in the enthalpy of decomposition was noticed in the treated sample (∆H decomp = 131.40 J/g) by 137.10% compared with the control sample (∆H decomp = 55.42 J/g). The current study anticipated that The Trivedi Effect ® Treatment might lead to produce a new polymorphic form of zinc chloride, which could have better powder flowability and thermal stability. The treated sample could be more stable during manufacturing, delivery or storage conditions than the untreated sample. Hence, the treated zinc chloride would be very useful to design better nutraceutical and/or

Assessment of Physicochemical and Thermal Properties of Energy of Consciousness Healing Treated Ferrous Sulphate Using PXRD, PSD, DSC, and TGA/DTG Analysis

“…The data was collected in the form of a chart of the Bragg angle (2θ) vs. intensity (counts per second), and a detailed table containing information on peak intensity counts, d value (Å), relative intensity (%), full width half maximum (FWHM) (°2θ), area (cts*°2θ) using X'Pert data collector and X'Pert high score plus processing software. The crystallite size (G) was calculated from the Scherrer equation following the literature [11,12,[35][36][37]. The crystallite size (G) was calculated by using the following equation 1:…”

“…The particle size analysis of ferrous sulphate was conducted on Malvern Mastersizer 3000, UK with a detection range between 0.01 µm to 3000 µm using wet method [11,12,35,36]. The sample unit (Hydro MV) was filled with a dispersant medium (Light liquid paraffin oil) and operated the stirrer at 2500 rpm.…”

“…The DSC thermogram of ferrous sulphate was performed in DSC Q2000 differential scanning calorimeter, USA under the dynamic nitrogen atmosphere with flow rate of 50 mL/min with a sample mass of ~2.5 mg using aluminum pan at a heating rate of 10°C/min from 30°C to 400°C [11,12,35,36]. The % change in melting point (T) was calculated using following equation 5: …”

“…The solubility and bioavailability of the ferrous sulphate are the major concern for the effective therapeutic effect. The Trivedi Effect ® -Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment could be an economical approach for modifying particle size/crystallite size, surface area and thermodynamic stability that would be helpful for better design for pharmaceutical/nutraceutical formulations [11,12].…”

Evaluation of the Effect of the Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment on Physicochemical and Thermal Properties of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride

“…The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment significantly altered physicochemical properties such as crystalline structure, crystallite size, particle size, surface area, and thermal stability through introducing a polymorph of the pharmaceutical/nutraceutical compound. It was suggested that Biofield Energy Treated pharmaceutical/nutraceutical compounds could have more bioavailable and thermally stable compared with the untreated compounds [22][23][24][25][26].
