What is it about?

The current research work aimed to evaluate the effect of the biofield energy treatment on the isotopic abundance ratios of PM+1/PM and PM+2/PM in PTBP using gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Why is it important?

The current research work concluded that biofield energy treatment has the potential effect for altering the isotopic abundance ratios ofPM+1/PM and PM+2/PM in PTBP. The GC-MS spectra of the both control and biofield treated PTBP indicated the presence of molecular ion peak [M+] at m/z 150 (calculated 150.10 for C10H14O) along with the same pattern of fragmentation. In addition, the relative intensities of the parent molecule and other fragmented ions of the biofield treated PTBP were significantly altered as compared to the control PTBP. The isotopic abundance ratios of PM+1/PM and PM+2/PM in the biofield treated PTBP at T4 were significantly increased by 120.13% and 123.08%, respectively with respect to the control PTBP. On the other hand, the percentage change of the isotopic abundance ratios of PM+1/PM and PM+2/PM was changed in the biofield treated PTBP at T1, T2, and T3 with respect to the control sample. In summary, 13C, 2H, and 17O contributions from (C10H14O)+ to m/z 151 and 18O contribution from (C10H14O)+ to m/z 152 in the biofield treated PTBP were altered and was found to have time dependent effect. The biofield energy treated PTBP might exhibit isotope effects such as altered physicochemical and thermal properties, rate of the reaction, selectivity and binding energy due to the altered isotopic abundance ratio with respect to the control sample. Biofield treated PTBP could be advantageous for the designing new chemicals and pharmaceuticals through applying its kinetic isotope effects.
