Description

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is very much important for the essential metabolic reactions in the body. This study was performed to investigate the impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the structural properties and isotopic abundance of vitamin C using LC-MS, GC-MS, and NMR spectroscopy. The test sample vitamin C was divided into two parts. One part was considered as control (no Biofield Treatment was provided), while second part received the Trivedi Effect® Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a famous Biofield Energy Healer, Mr. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi and termed as treated vitamin C. The LC-ESI-MS spectra of both the samples of vitamin C at the retention time 1.8 minutes exhibited the mass of the protonated molecular ion at m/z 176 [M+H]+ (calculated for C6H9O6 +, 177.04) in both the sample. Similarly, the fragmented ion peaks near m/z 158.91, 141.04, 129.19, and 95.10 correspond to the molecular formula C6H7O5 +, C6H5O4 +, C5H5O4 +, and C5H3O2 +, respectively were proposed for both the samples. The LC-MS based isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM in the treated vitamin C was significantly increased by 119.57% compared with the control sample. Thus, 13C, 2H, and 17O contributions from (C6H8O6)+ to m/z 177.99 in the treated vitamin C were significantly increased compared with the control sample. On the contrary, the isotopic abundance ratio of PM+2/PM in the treated vitamin C was significantly decreased by 15.07% compared with the control sample. Therefore, 18O contributions from (C6H8O6)+ to m/z 179.05 in the treated vitamin C was significantly decreased compared with the control sample. The GC-MS analysis indicated that the intensities for the mass peak at m/z 95 and 140 were significantly increased by 90.91% and 97.09%, respectively in the treated vitamin C compared to the control sample. The isotopic abundance ratios of PM+1/PM (13C/12C or 2H/1H or 17O/16O) and PM+2/PM (18O/16O) along with the mass peak intensities in the treated vitamin C might have altered the physicochemical properties compared to the untreated vitamin C. The increased isotopic abundance ratio of treated ascorbic acid would stronger the chemical bond, increase the stability, shift the chemical equilibrium constants, and alter the rate of metabolic reactions in the body. The Trivedi Effect®-Biofield Energy Healing Treated vitamin C would be very useful to design better nutraceutical/pharmaceutical formulations which might offer better therapeutic response against scurvy, cancer, obesity, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and autoimmune diseases.
