Despite great contributions of the livestock sector to the economy and livelihood of the people, the livestock sector is constrained by many challenges especially helminth infestation. Cestodiasis which substantially affects the poultry productivity is caused by digenetic cestodes. Cestodiasis has debilitating effects on the host and proves to be one of the constraints for poultry husbandry. Histopathological studies revealed that the intestine of infected fowl showed haemorrhages, less growth of villi, ulcerations, incisions, nodular growth, eroded mucosal epithelium and load dependent mild to moderate enteritis. In general, the degree and extent of enteric changes corresponded to the parasitic load. Attachment of the parasite caused traumatic lesions which might have favoured secondary bacterial infection and hence more severe cellular reaction in the infected area was found. However delineation of local effects and species specific studies are needed. The most heavily infected segment of the intestine was the lower small intestine followed by the duodenum. The least populated segment was the rectum. The infected hosts were found weak withless weight, down carrying feathers, ruffled plumage and increased appetite. Most of the infected hosts were infected by only one cestode species. This may be due to the immunity provided by one species against other species. The higher prevalence of the parasites and observed pathology directly reflects their economic importance and warrants conscious intervention for its control in backyard poultry.

The study was investigated to find out the impact of the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation on the function of vital organs viz. bones, heart, liver, lungs, and brain in various cell-based assays. The test formulation/ test item (TI) and the cell media (Med) was divided into two parts; one untreated (UT) and other part received the Biofield Energy Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Vicki Lynn Kindy, USA and was labeled as the Biofield Energy Treated (BT) test formulation/media. Cell viability data suggested that the test formulation was safe and non-toxic in nature in six different cells. The experimental groups of untreated medium (UT-Med) + Biofield Treated Test Item (BT-TI), BT-Med + UT-TI, and BT-Med + BT-TI groups showed 116.4% (at 1 µg/mL), 84.1% (at 63 µg/mL), and 98.5% (at 63 µg/mL) restoration of cell viability, respectively in human cardiac fibroblasts cells (HCF) compared to the UT-Med + UT-TI group. Moreover, UT-Med + BT-TI group showed 62.5%, 156.8%, and 82.4% restoration of cell viability at 0.1, 1, and 10 µg/mL, respectively in human hepatoma cells (HepG2) compared to untreated. Furthermore, 224.2% and 295.6% restoration of cell viability was observed in adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells (A549) by UT-Med + BT-TI group at 1 and 10 µg/mL, respectively compared to the untreated. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level was significantly increased by 85.3%, 72.2%, and 79.4% in the UT-Med + BT-TI, BT-Med + UT-TI, and BT-Med + BT-TI groups, respectively at 10 µg/mL in human bone osteosarcoma cells (MG-63) compared to the untreated. Additionally, the level of ALP was significantly increased by161% (at 0.1 µg/mL), 84.5% (at 25 µg/mL), and 63.9%(at 50 µg/mL) in the UT-Med + BT-TI, BT-Med + UT-TI, and BT-Med + BT-TI groups, respectively in human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells (Ishikawa) compared to the untreated. The percent protection of HCF (heart) cells (decreased of LDH activity) was significantly increased by 189.7% (at 0.01 µg/mL) and 51.7% (at10 µg/mL) in the UT-Med + BT-TI and BT-Med + BT-TI groups, respectively compared to the untreated in HCF cells. The percent protection of HepG2 (liver) cells (decreased of ALT activity) was significantly increased by 95.1% (at 25 µg/mL), 63.2% (at 1 µg/mL), and 112% (at 63 µg/mL) in the UT-Med + BT-TI, BT-Med + UT-TI, and BT-Med + BT-TI groups, respectively compared to untreated in HepG2 cells. The percent protection of A549 (lungs) cells (increased of SOD activity) was significantly increased by 36.9% and 44.1% in the BT-Med + UT-TI and BT-Med + BT-TI groups, respectively at 0.1 µg/mL compared to untreated in A549 cells. Serotonin level was significantly increased by 199.5%, 168.7%, and 83.9% in the BT-Med + BT-TI group at 0.1, 1, and 10 µg/mL, respectively as compared to untreated in human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y). The relative quantification (RQ) of vitamin D receptor (VDR) was significantly increased by 205.2% (at 10 µg/mL), 189% (at 0.01µg/mL), and 315.6% (at 10 µg/mL) in the UT-Med + BT-TI, BT-Med + UT-TI, and BT-Med + BT-TI groups, respectively compared to the untreated in MG-63 cells. Overall, these results suggest that Biofield Treated test formulation significantly improved the bones, heart, liver, lungs, and brain-related functional enzyme biomarkers. Altogether data suggest that the Biofield Energy Treatment (The Trivedi Effect®) can be useful to protect and maintain the normal function of each vital organ such as lungs, liver, heart, brain, and bones. Therefore, The Trivedi Effect® can be used as a complementary and alternative therapy against several disorders such as coronary artery disease, heart attack, heart failure, arrhythmias, congenital heart disease, cirrhosis, cardiomyopathy, liver cancer, Wilson disease, hemochromatosis, pneumonia, asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, osteoporosis, cystic fibrosis, etc
