In the present study, the effectiveness of treatment of selected populations of bacteria using an immaterial and non-energetic method called Fara-darmani Consciousness Field treatment is investigated. Population growth was assessed by turbidimetry, colony counting and tetrazolium chloride reduction assays in non-treated control and Fara-darmani-treated groups. Our results suggest effectiveness of the Fara-darmani Consciousness Field on reducing various types of bacterial strain growth rates (up to 46%). In addition, along with a decrease in bacterial population, evidence of increased survival can be seen in the larger healthy population (up to about 60%). Thus, in this study, we confirm the effects of the Consciousness Field on bacterial population survival. This study also warrants additional research.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
