Abstract
A suitable antifungal therapy for successful patient outcomes is needed for all serious fungal infections. Only a few antifungal agents are available, so the appearance of resistance to a single drug and currently multidrug resistance has critically hampered the management of patients. Faradarmani Consciousness Field (CF) introduced by Taheri is neither energy nor matter and does not have a quantity, so it cannot be directly measured. Nevertheless, it is possible to assess their effects indirectly through controlled experimentations in the laboratory. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Faradarmani CF on the susceptibility of Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus to antifungal drugs. For this purpose, antifungal susceptibility was assessed via the disk diffusion method to evaluate the Faradarmani CF effect. Faradarmani CF significantly reduced the resistance of C. albicans and A. fumigatus to nystatin. As well as reduced, the resistance against amphotericin B was observed in both fungi but, compared to the control, was not significant. Considering the results, the drug resistance of C. albicans and A. fumigatus decreased under the influence of Faradarmani CF, and it can be examined in fungal infections in vivo. In addition, it is recommended that the effects of Faradarmani CF on other drug-resistant pathogens be investigated.
