Thermal, Spectroscopic and Chemical Characterization of Biofield Energy Treated Anisole

What is it about?

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of biofield energy treatment on the thermal, spectroscopic, and chemical properties of anisole by various analytical methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The anisole sample was divided into two parts, control and treated. The control part was remained same while the other part was treated with Mr. Trivedi’s unique biofield energy treatment. Mass spectra showed the molecular ion peak with five fragmented peaks in control and all treated samples. The isotopic abundance ratio of 2H/1H, and 13C/12C [(PM+1)/PM] in treated sample was increased by 154.47% (T1) as compared to the control [where, PM- primary molecule, (PM+1)-isotopic molecule either for 13C or 2H]. The HPLC chromatogram showed retention time of treated anisole was slightly decreased as compared to the control. Moreover, the heat change in the sharp endothermic transition of treated anisole was increased by 389.07% in DSC thermogram as compared to the control. Further, C-C aromatic stretching frequency of treated sample was shifted by 2 cm-1 to low energy region in FT-IR spectroscopy. The UV-Vis spectra of control sample showed characteristic absorption peaks at 325 nm, which was red shifted and appeared as shoulder in the treated sample. These results suggested that biofield treatment has significantly altered the physical and spectroscopic properties of anisole, which could make them stable solvent for organic synthesis and as a suitable reaction intermediate in industrial applications.

Why is it important?

Anisole, phenyl ether (Ph-O-Me, Figure 1) usually used as a starting material for various pharmaceutical/flavonoid products and as solvent in organic synthesis and physical studies [1]. It is used for the synthesis of raw material for drugs such as cyclofenil, in treating Raynaud’s phenomenon in people with scleroderma [2], and tramadol hydrochloride, that is used for the relief of moderate or severe pain [3]. 4-hydroxyanisole and t-butylhydroxyanisole are the most popular derivatives of anisole and used extensively as depigmenting agents and antioxidant respectively [4,5]. The anisole was used selectively in various steps as a solvent in the synthesis of cefoxitin [6] and latamoxef an antibiotic administered intravenously has a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [7]. Anisole is a weakly polar aprotic solvent with lower electric permittivity (εs=4.33), which allows its usability in cyclic voltammetric studies as an alternative to tetrahydrofuran and dichloromethane [8]. The use of hazardous and toxic solvents in synthesis and characterization is regarded as a very important point for the safety of lab-workers and pollution. Nowadays, a relatively green solvent, anisole, have been successfully applied to process organic/polymer solar cells [9]. Hence, the stability of anisole is important to perform organic reactions at moderate temperature, and its applicability in pharmaceutical products. The chemical and physical property could be altered by Mr. Trivedi’s unique biofield energy treatment which is well known to modify the physical, and structural characteristics of living and non-living substances [10,11]. The electrical current generates through internal physiological processes like blood flow, brain activity, and heart function etc. exists inside the human body in the form of vibratory energy particles like ions, protons, and electrons and they generate magnetic field in the human body [12]. The energy fields that purportedly surround the human body is called the biofield. Currently, researchers have been exploring the potential benefits of integrative energy medicine in a variety of situations to promote overall health and wellness of individuals. The energy medicine is regarded as one of the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and defined under the subcategory of energy therapies by National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) [13]. The practitioner of energy medicine can harness the energy from the environment/universe and can transmit into any object around the globe. The object(s) receive the biofield energy and responded in a useful way. This process is called as biofield energy treatment. Mr. Trivedi’s unique biofield treatment is also called as The Trivedi Effect®. The Trivedi Effect® has been well studied in various research fields like microbiology [10,14] biotechnology [15,16] and agricultural research [17]. Based on the outstanding results achieved by biofield treatment on microbiology and biotechnology, an attempt was made to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment on various properties of anisole.
