Abstract

Folic acid is vitamin B9, which is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in cell growth, production of DNA and replication. This study was aimed to determine the influence of the Trivedi Effect^® Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the various physicochemical and thermal properties of folic acid by using the different analytical techniques. The study was done by dividing the folic acid sample into the control and treated parts; in which, no treatment was given to control, while the treated part received the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi. The analysis indicated that the particle sizes of the treated sample were reduced by 3.80% (d10), 5.18% (d50), 6.33% (d90), and 4.79% {D (4,3)}, respectively, which resulted in the increase in surface area by 4.60% compared with the control sample. The PXRD analysis indicated the changes in the peak intensities of the characteristic peaks of the treated sample and their corresponding crystallite sizes in the range from -45.76% to 277.50% and -87.55% to 15.88%, respectively, in comparison to the control folic acid sample.

The treated sample also showed a significant reduction in the average crystallite size by 19.37% compared with the control sample. The weight loss of the treated sample was increased during thermal degradation by 9.11% and therefore, the decreased residual mass by 36.56%, in comparison to the untreated sample. The DSC analysis of the treated sample revealed the increase in melting and degradation temperature by 10.48% and 7.32%, respectively; while the latent heat of fusion and decomposition were reduced by 2.27% and 34.35%, respectively, compared to the untreated sample. The overall study indicated that the Trivedi Effect^®- Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment has the significant impact of on the folic acid, which might be used as a novel approach for introducing some new polymorph of folic acid and thereby improving its solubility, bioavailability, and melting and degradation profile in comparison to the untreated sample. Hence, the Trivedi Effect^® could be used as a useful approach in developing the nutraceutical/pharmaceutical formulations of folic acid with improved performance and efficacy.
