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

Selenium is an essential micronutrient required for healthy metabolism, as well as prevention, and treatment of selenium deficiency diseases. The experiment aimed to evaluate the influence of the Trivedi Effect-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the physicochemical and thermal properties of selenium using modern analytical techniques. The selenium sample was divided into two parts, one part of the test sample was called the control sample, while the second part of the test sample received the Biofield Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Gopal Nayak, and was called the treated sample. The particle size values were significantly decreased by 37.69% (d10), 14.36% (d50), 4.31% (d90), and 11.58% [D(4,3)], hence, the specific surface area was significantly increased by 33.64% in the treated sample compared to the control sample. The PXRD peak intensities and crystallite sizes were significantly altered ranging from 5.23% to 100% and 75% to 111.7%, respectively; whereas 7.81% significantly decreased the average crystallite size in the treated sample than the control sample. The latent heat of fusion of the treated sample was significantly increased by 12.37% compared with the control sample. The results suggested that the Trivedi Effect might generate a new polymorphic form of selenium which would offer better solubility, bioavailability and be thermally more stable compared with the control sample. The Biofield Treated selenium would be more useful to design novel nutraceutical/pharmaceutical formulations and might offer an enhanced therapeutic response against cardiovascular disease, cancer, neuromuscular disorders, diabetes, stress, aging, male infertility, viral diseases, degenerative ailments, etc. DOI : 10.14302/issn.2377-2549.jndc-18-1933 Corresponding Author: Snehasis Jana, Trivedi Science Research Laboratory Pvt.

Introduction
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element nutrient for humans and animals. It regulates a healthy metabolism and inhibits the toxic effects of heavy metals in the body [1]. The rich natural sources for Se are meat, fish, mushrooms, cereals, nuts, etc. This can be obtained from mineral supplements [1,2]. It is one of the key components of unusual amino acids selenocysteine and selenomethionine; selenium enzymes, and about 30 selenoproteins [3]. It is a potent antioxidant, which protects against oxidative damage, infections, nervous system; plays critical roles in reproduction, DNA synthesis, and thyroid hormone metabolism [1,4,5]. A poor selenium containing diet and/or genetic problems may lead to selenium deficiency in the body [6]. Se deficiency in the body is responsible for the critical pathophysiology of many diseases, i.e., cancer, diabetes, male infertility, muscle disorders, neurological disorders, cardiovascular disease, degenerative ailments, viral diseases, etc. [7][8][9].
Therefore, Se is recommended as a daily supplement in a number of countries. But, excess intake of Se may cause adverse health effects [9,10]. It is absorbed by the body in the form selenite which is more than 80 percent.
The physicochemical properties of any pharmaceutical/nutraceutical compound play a crucial role in its stability, solubility, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy in the body [11]. The biggest challenge for pharmaceutical scientists is improving the quality of pharmaceutical/nutraceutical compounds for better therapeutic efficacy. Scientifically, the Trivedi Effect ® -Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment (Biofield Energy Healing Treatment) has been proven to have a significant impact on the particle size, surface area, thermal properties, and bioavailability of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical compounds [12][13][14].
The Trivedi Effect ® is a natural and the only scientifically proven phenomenon in which an expert can harness this inherently intelligent energy from the Universe and transmit it anywhere on the planet through the possible mediation of neutrinos [15]. "Biofield" is a unique, population with several advantages [17,18]. Similarly, the Trivedi Effect ® Treatment also has a significant impact on the characteristic properties of the metals, ceramics, and polymers, organic compounds, crops, livestock, microorganisms, and cancer cells [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].
These outstanding experimental results motivated the authors to determine the impact of the Trivedi Effect ® -Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the physicochemical and thermal properties of selenium using particle size analysis (PSA), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Chemicals and Reagents
The selenium (Se) powder sample was procured from Sigma Aldrich, USA and the other chemicals required during the experiments were of the analytical standard available in India.

Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment Strategies
The test sample Se powder used in the experiment was divided into two parts. One part of the Where k is the equipment constant (0.94), G is the crystallite size in nm, λ is the radiation wavelength Where ΔH Control and ΔH Treated are the latent heat of fusion of the control and the Biofield Energy Treated Se, respectively.
