Evaluation of the Effect of Biofield Energy Treatment on Physicochemical and Thermal Properties of Hydroxypropyl ?-Cyclodextrin

Hydroxypropyl ?-Cyclodextrin (HPBCD) has many applications in the foods, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals industries. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the Trivedi Effect® on the physicochemical and thermal properties of HPBCD using modern analytical techniques. The HPBCD test sample was divided into two parts. One part did not receive the Biofield Energy Treatment and was called as a control sample, whereas, the other part received the Biofield Energy Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Alice Branton and was called as a treated sample. The particle size values of the treated HPBCD were decreased by 5.32%, 1.51%, 0.36%, and 1.12% at d10, d50, d90, and D (4,3), respectively compared with the control sample. Thus, the surface area of the treated HPBCD was significantly increased by 6.67% compared with the control sample. The evaporation and melting temperature of the treated HPBCD were increased by 4.76% and 1.92%, respectively compared with the control sample. However, the latent heat of evaporation and latent heat of fusion of the treated HPBCD were significantly decreased by 7.95% and 33.85%, respectively compared to the control sample. The total weight loss in the treated HPBCD sample was decreased by 1.83% compared with the control sample. But, the residue amount was 40.55% more in the case of the treated HPBCD compared to the control sample. The Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment introduced a new form of HPBCD which may show better stability, solubility, dissolution rate, absorption, and bioavailability compared to the control sample. The treated would be more useful for the improvement of solubility of the lipophilic drug, stabilize volatile and unstable compounds, preparation of cholesterol free food products, weight loss supplements, and other anti-obesity medication, and also for the industry using it as a raw material.

The Trivedi Effect® Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment has shown a significant impact on the particle size, surface area, and thermal properties of hydroxypropyl ?-cyclodextrin. The particle size values of the Biofield Energy Treated HPBCD were decreased compared to the control sample. The specific surface area of the Biofield Energy Treated HPBCD was significantly increased by 6.67% compared with the control sample. Due to reduced particle size and increased surface area, the surface-active properties of the Biofield Energy Treated HPBCD would be very high. The evaporation and melting temperature of the Biofield Energy Treated HPBCD were increased compared with the control sample. However, the ?Hevaporation and ?Hfusion of the Biofield Energy Treated HPBCD were significantly decreased by 7.95% and 33.85%, respectively compared with the control sample. The total weight loss in the Biofield Energy Treated sample was decreased compared with the control sample. However, the residue amount was 40.55% more in case of the Biofield Energy Treated HPBCD compared to the control sample. It can be concluded that the Trivedi Effect® Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment introduced a new polymorphic form of HPBCD which may show better stability, solubility, dissolution rate, absorption, and bioavailability. This quality would be more useful for the improvement of solubility of the lipophilic drug, stabilize volatile and unstable compounds, preparation of cholesterol free food products, weight loss supplements, and other anti-obesity medication and also for the industry using it as a raw material.
