        <p>Vitamin D<sub>3 </sub>(cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin, which widely used for the prevention and treatment rickets, osteoporosis, arthritis, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, autoimmune disease, dementia, glucose intolerance, etc. The impact of the Trivedi Effect<sup>®</sup>-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the structural properties and the isotopic abundance ratio of cholecalciferol were evaluated using LC-MS and GC-MS spectroscopy. The test sample cholecalciferol was divided into control and treated parts. Only, the treated cholecalciferol was received the Trivedi Effect<sup>®</sup>-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi. The LC-MS spectra of both the samples at retention time (R<sub>t</sub>) ~22 minutes exhibited the mass of the molecular ion peak at <italic>m/z</italic> 385.25 (calcd for C<sub>27</sub>H<sub>45</sub>O<sup>+</sup>, 385.35). The LC-MS based isotopic abundance ratio of P<sub>M+1</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> in the treated cholecalciferol was increased by 0.74% compared with the control sample. But, the GC-MS based isotopic abundance ratio of P<sub>M+1</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> and P<sub>M+2</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> in the treated cholecalciferol was significantly increased by 66.39% and 62.69%, respectively compared with the control sample. Hence,<sup>13</sup>C, <sup>2</sup>H, <sup>17</sup>O, and <sup>18</sup>O contributions from C<sub>27</sub>H<sub>44</sub>O<sup>+</sup> to <italic>m/z</italic> 386 and 387 in the treated cholecalciferol were significantly increased compared with the control sample. The isotopic abundance ratios of P<sub>M+1</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> (<sup>2</sup>H/<sup>1</sup>H or <sup>13</sup>C/<sup>12</sup>C or <sup>17</sup>O/<sup>16</sup>O) and P<sub>M</sub><sub>+2</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> (<sup>18</sup>O/<sup>16</sup>O) in the treated cholecalciferol were significantly increased as compared to the control sample. The increased isotopic composition of the Trivedi Effect<sup>®</sup>-Consciousness Energy Healing Treated cholecalciferol might have altered the neutron to proton ratio in the nucleus <italic>via</italic> the possible mediation of neutrino. The increased isotopic abundance ratio of the treated cholecalciferol may increase the intra-atomic bond strength, increase its stability. The new form of cholecalciferol would be better designing novel pharmaceutical formulations that might be more stable and more efficacious for the prevention and treatment of various diseases such as vitamin D deficiency, rickets, osteoporosis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, diabetes mellitus, mental disorders, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, infections, influenza, cognitive impairment in older adults, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, autoimmune disease, dementia, glucose intolerance, multiple sclerosis, etc.</p>

      <p>Vitamin D<sub>3 </sub>(cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin and a hormone precursor. Vitamin D<sub>2</sub> is found naturally in the sun-exposed mushrooms and humans synthesize vitamin D<sub>3 </sub>in the skin on exposure to UV light from the sun <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841986860">2</xref>. Vitamin D synthesized in skin and diet is biologically inert. It gets activated by hydroxylation in the liver and kidney to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol). Vitamin D<sub>2</sub> and D<sub>3</sub> differ chemically in their side chains. These differences in the structure alter their binding to the vitamin D binding protein (DBP) and their metabolism. DBPs are found in most of the body parts, <italic>i.e., </italic>heart, lungs, kidney, brain, liver, pancreas, intestines, muscles, nervous system, gonads, etc. Vitamin D regulates the various functions of the brain, muscles, lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, pancreas, intestines, and immune system. Vitamin D receptor response elements with hundreds of genes directly or indirectly influence cell-to-cell communication, normal cell growth, cell cycling and proliferation, cell differentiation, neurotransmission, hormonal balance, increase calcium (30-40%) and phosphorus (80%) absorption, skin health, immune, and cardiovascular functions <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841996796">3</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841773820">4</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841777780">5</xref>. </p>
      <p>Children, young and middle-aged people are equally high risk for vitamin D deficiency worldwide. Inadequate exposure to sunlight, high body mass index (&gt;30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>), fat malabsorption syndromes and bariatric patients, patient taking anticonvulsants and anti AIDS/HIV medications, chronic liver disease, familial hypophosphatemia, and hypocalcaemia is associated with hypoparathyroidism are the cause of the vitamin D deficiency <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841986860">2</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841773820">4</xref>. Vitamin D deficiency may cause abnormalities in calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism, rickets, osteoporosis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, diabetes mellitus, mental disorders, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, infections, influenza, cognitive impairment in older adults, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, autoimmune disease, dementia, glucose intolerance, multiple sclerosis, etc. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841922116">1</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841986860">2</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841777780">5</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841765804">6</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841764436">7</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841762564">8</xref>.

High dose of vitamin D supplementation may cause toxicity like hypercalcemia, polyuria, polydipsia, weakness, mental retardation, and insomnia <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841762564">8</xref>. The stability of vitamin D is more concerned as it is more sensitive to heat and light <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841743612">9</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1841747068">10</xref>. </p>

      <title>Conclusions</title>
      <p>The Trivedi Effect<sup>®</sup>-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment has shown a significant impact on the isotopic abundance ratios of cholecalciferol. The             LC-MS spectra of both the samples at retention time (R<sub>t</sub>) ~22 minutes exhibited the mass of the molecular ion peak at <italic>m/z</italic> 385.25. The LC-MS based isotopic abundance ratio of P<sub>M+1</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> in the Biofield Energy Treated cholecalciferol was increased by 0.74% compared with the control sample. But, the GC-MS based isotopic abundance ratio of P<sub>M+1</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> and P<sub>M+2</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> in the Biofield Energy Treated cholecalciferol was significantly increased by 66.39% and 62.69%, respectively compared with the control sample. Hence,<sup>13</sup>C, <sup>2</sup>H, <sup>17</sup>O and <sup>18</sup>O contributions from C<sub>27</sub>H<sub>44</sub>O<sup>+</sup> to <italic>m/z</italic> 386 and 387 in the Biofield Energy Treated  cholecalciferol were significantly increased compared with the control sample. The isotopic abundance ratios of P<sub>M+1</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> (<sup>2</sup>H/<sup>1</sup>H or <sup>13</sup>C/<sup>12</sup>C or <sup>17</sup>O/<sup>16</sup>O) and P<sub>M</sub><sub>+2</sub>/P<sub>M</sub> (<sup>18</sup>O/<sup>16</sup>O) in the treated cholecalciferol were significantly increased compared to the control sample. The increased isotopic composition of the Trivedi Effect<sup>®</sup>-Consciousness Energy Healing Treated cholecalciferol might have altered the neutron to proton ratio in the nucleus <italic>via</italic> the possible mediation of neutrino. The increased isotopic abundance ratio of the Biofield Energy Treated cholecalciferol may increase the intra-atomic bond strength, increase its stability. The new form of cholecalciferol would be better designing novel pharmaceutical formulations that might be more stable and more efficacious for the prevention and treatment of various diseases <italic>viz.</italic> rickets, osteoporosis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, diabetes mellitus, mental disorders, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, infections, influenza, cognitive impairment in older adults, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, autoimmune disease, dementia, glucose intolerance, multiple sclerosis, etc.</p>
