L-cysteine is an essential amino acid that helps in improving the overall health status of humans. The objective of the study was to determine the impact on the physicochemical and thermal properties of L-cysteine after the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment using modern analytical techniques. The control sample was kept without any treatment, while the Biofield Treatment was given to the treated sample remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Gopal Nayak. The particle size values were significantly reduced by 11.96%(d10), 9.01%(d50), 4.92%(d90), and 7.66% [D (4, 3)], thus, the specific surface area was significantly increased by 14.28% of the treated L-cysteine compared to the control sample. The peak intensities and crystallite sizes were altered ranging from -86.73% to 456.65% and -4.91% to 451.22% respectively, however, the average crystallite size was significantly increased by 87.58% in the treated sample compared to the control sample. The latent heat of decomposition for the 1st and 2nd peak of the treated sample was increased by 12.77% and 5.42% respectively, compared with the control sample. The weight loss was increased by 9.35%; however, the residual weight was significantly reduced by 85.32% in the treated sample compared to the control sample. The maximum thermal degradation temperature of the treated sample was increased by 2.87% compared to the control sample. Hence, the Biofield Energy Treated L-cysteine might show better solubility, dissolution, bioavailability, and be more thermal stability in the pharmaceutical formulations, which would be more efficacious in the treatment of diabetes, cancer, psychosis, and seizures compared to the control sample
The study results suggested that there was a significant impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on various properties of the Biofield Energy Treated L-cysteine sample related to their physicochemical and thermal profile. The PSD data showed that the particle size values of the Biofield Energy Treated sample were significantly reduced at d10, d50, d90, and D (4, 3) by 11.96%, 9.01%, 4.92%, and 7.66%, respectively, compared to the untreated sample. The specific surface area of the Biofield Energy Treated L-cysteine was significantly increased by 14.28% in comparison to the untreated L-cysteine. The PXRD peak intensities of the Biofield Energy Treated L-cysteine were observed to be changed ranging from -86.73% to 456.65% and crystallite sizes showed alterations ranging from -74.91% to 451.22% as compared to the control sample. The average crystallite size of the Biofield Energy Treated sample was significantly increased by 87.58%, as compared to the control L-cysteine sample. The DSC thermograms of the control and the Biofield Energy Treated sample showed two peaks in their thermograms that are related to the decomposition of L-cysteine sample during heating. However, the corresponding to 1st and 2nd peak were also observed to be significantly increased by 12.77% and 5.42%, respectively, compared to the control L-cysteine sample. The TGA/DTG data indicating that the Biofield Energy Treated sample showed 9.35% increase in total weight loss of the L-cysteine sample that causes a significant 85.32% reduction in the residue amount compared to the untreated sample. However, the of the Biofield Energy Treated sample was increased by 2.87% compared to the control sample. Thus, the overall data showed the reduced particle sizes and increased surface area of the Biofield Energy Treated sample with alterations in the crystal structure, which might increase the solubility, absorption, and bioavailability of L-cysteine within the body. Also, the results indicating significant changes in the thermal degradation and stability profile of the Biofield Energy Treated L-cysteine sample compared to the untreated sample. Therefore, the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treated L-cysteine might improve the properties that might ensure its better performance and therapeutic response against various diseases, i.e., diabetes, cancer, psychosis, and seizures.
