Evaluation of Physicochemical, Thermal, Structural, and Behavioral Properties of Magnesium Gluconate Treated with Energy of Consciousness (The Trivedi Effect<sup>®</sup>)

Abstract

Magnesium gluconate is a classical organometallic salt used for the prevention and treatment of magnesium deficiency diseases. The objective of the current research was to explore the influence of The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment (Biofield Energy Healing Treatment) on magnesium gluconate for the change in the physicochemical, structural, thermal and behavioral properties using PXRD, PSD, FT-IR, UV-vis spectroscopy, TGA, and DSC analysis. Magnesium gluconate was divided into two parts -one part was control, while another part was treated with The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment remotely by seven renowned Biofield Energy Healers and defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample. The PXRD analysis exhibited significant alteration of the crystal morphology of the treated sample compared with the control sample. The crystallite size of the treated sample was remarkably changed from range -69.99% to 71.40% compared with the control sample. The average crystallite size was significantly decreased in the treated sample by 13.61% compared with the control sample. Particle size analysis revealed that the particle size in the treated sample at d 10 , d 50 , and d 90 value was significantly decreased by 5.19%, 26.77%, and 18.22%, respectively compared with the control sample. The treated sample's surface area was significantly enhanced (12.82%) compared with the control sample. The FT-IR and UV-vis analysis showed that the structure of the magnesium gluconate remained the same in both the treated and control samples. The TGA analysis revealed the four steps thermal degradation of the both samples and the total weight loss of the Biofield Energy Treated sample was increased by 0.55% compared with the control sample. The DSC analysis revealed that the melting temperature of the treated sample (171.72°C) was increased by 0.21% compared with the control sample (171.36°C). The latent heat of fusion was increased by 4.66% in the treated sample compared with the control sample. This result indicated that the thermal stability of treated sample was improved compared with the control sample. The current study infers that The Trivedi Effect ® -Biofield Energy Healing might lead to a new polymorphic form of magnesium gluconate, which would be more soluble, bioavailable, and thermally stable compared with the untreated compound. Hence, the treated magnesium gluconate would be very useful to design better nutraceutical/pharmaceutical formulations that might offer better therapeutic responses against inflammatory diseases, immunological disorders, stress, aging and other chronic infections.

Physicochemical, Thermal and Spectroscopic characterization of the Energy of Consciousness Healing Treated Copper Chloride

“…The National Center of Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has been recognized and accepted Biofield Energy Healing as CAM health care approach in addition to other therapies, medicines and practices such as natural products, deep breathing, yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation, meditation, massage, special diets, homeopathy, progressive relaxation, guided imagery, acupressure, acupuncture, relaxation techniques, hypnotherapy, healing touch, movement therapy, Pilates, Rolfing structural integration, mindfulness, Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese herbs and medicines, naturopathy, essential oils, aromatherapy, Reiki, cranial sacral therapy and applied prayer (as is common in all religions, like Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism) [21]. The Trivedi Effect ® -Biofield Energy Consciousness Healing Treatment has astonishingly ability to transform the characteristic properties of several organic compounds [22][23][24][25], pharmaceuticals [26,27], nutraceuticals [28], metals and ceramic [29,30], culture medium [31,32] and improve the overall productivity of agricultural crops [33,34], skin health [35,36], modulation in the efficacy of various living cells [37][38][39], and alteration of the isotopic abundance ratio in the organic compounds [40][41][42][43]. Thus, this study was designed to analyses the impact of Biofield Energy Treatment (The Trivedi Effect ® ) on the physicochemical, thermal, and spectroscopic properties of copper chloride by using various analytical techniques such as, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), UV-visible, and FT-IR spectroscopy.…”

Evaluation of the physicochemical, thermal and behavioural properties of consciousness energy healing treated iron (II) sulphate

“…The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis of iron sulphate was performed with the help of PANalytical X'Pert3 Pro [34,35,38]. The average crystallites size was calculated using the Scherrer's formula (1) G = kλ/βcosθ (1) Where G is the crystallite size in nm, λ is the radiation wavelength, k is the equipment constant, β is the full-width half maximum, and θ is the Bragg angle [38,39]. The particle size distribution (PSD) analysis of iron sulphate powder sample was performed with the help of Malvern Mastersizer 3000, UK instrument using the wet method.…”

“…Similarly, the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis of iron sulphate was performed with the help of DSC Q200, TA instruments. The thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) thermograms of iron sulphate were obtained with the help of TGA Q50 TA instruments [34,35,38]. The % change in crystallite size, peak intensity, particle size, surface area, melting point, latent heat, weight loss and the maximum thermal degradation temperature of the Biofield Energy Treated iron sulphate was calculated compared to the control sample using the following equation 2:…”

“…The PXRD diffractograms of both the samples showed highest peak intensity (100%) at Bragg's angle (2θ) equal to 18.3° and 18.2°, respectively ( The relative intensity of each diffraction face on the crystalline compound changes according to the crystal morphology [40], and alterations in the PXRD pattern provide the proof of polymorphic transitions [41,42]. It has been reported that the Biofield Energy Treatment has the significant ability to produce a new crystalline polymorph by changing the crystal morphology of the pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals [34,35,38]. The significant variations in the crystallite size and relative intensities indicated the modification of the crystal morphology of the Biofield Energy Treated iron sulphate sample compared with the control sample.…”
