The study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the Biofield Energy Treated Proprietary Test Formulation and Biofield Energy Treatment per se to the animals on Cecal Slurry, LPS and E. coli-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) model in Sprague Dawley rats. In this experiment, different antioxidants biomarkers such as myeloperoxidase (MPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), lipid peroxidase (LPO) and cytokines like interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) were analysed using ELISA assay in brain homogenate. A test formulation was formulated including minerals (magnesium, zinc, calcium, selenium, and iron), vitamin C, B6, E, B12, D3, β-carotene, cannabidiol isolate,and Panax ginseng extract. The component of the test formulation were divided into two parts; one section was defined as the untreated, while the other portion of each constituent and three group of animals received Biofield Energy Healing/Blessing Treatment remotely for about 3 minutes by Mr. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi, a renowned spiritual Energy Healer. The level of MPO was significantly (p≤0.001) reduced by 19.43%, 34.91%, 25.43%, 25.29% and 30.33% in the G5 (Cecal Slurry, LPS and E. coli + Biofield Energy Treated test formulation); G6 (Cecal Slurry, LPS and E. coli + Biofield Energy Treatment per se to animals from day -15); G7 (Cecal Slurry, LPS and E. coli + Biofield Energy Treated test formulation from day -15); G8 (Cecal Slurry, LPS and E. coli + Biofield Energy Treatment per se + Biofield Energy Treated/Blessed test formulation from day -15), and G9 (Cecal Slurry, LPS and E. coli + Biofield Energy Treatment per se animals + untreated test formulation) groups, respectively as compared to the untreated test formulation (G4) group. Moreover, the level of SOD was significantly increased by 45.02% (p≤0.001), 16.59%, and 35.99% (p≤0.001) in the G6, G7, and G9 groups, respectively as compared to G4 group. The level of TNF-α was significantly decreased by 12.66%, 46.92% (p≤0.001), 26.57% (p≤0.001), 23.22% (p≤0.001), and 54.28% (p≤0.001) in G5, G6, G7, G8, and G9 groups, correspondingly with reference to G4 group. Moreover, the level of IL-6 was significantly (p≤0.001) decreased by 37.51%, 20.28%, 21.55%, and 33.4% in the G6, G7, G8, and G9 groups, respectively as compared to the G4 group. Additionally, the level of MIP-2 was significantly (p≤0.001) reduced by 47.97%, 17.08%, 20.16% and 26.84% in the G6, G7, G8, and G9 groups, respectively as compared to the G4 group. Together, the data imply the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation and Biofield Energy Treatment per se along with preventive measure on the animal with respect to various inflammatory conditions that might be beneficial various types of systemic inflammatory disorders specially sepsis, trauma, septic shock or any types of injuries. Therefore, the results described a significant reduction of inflammation-related disease progression rate and its complications in the preventive maintenance groups (viz. G6, G7, G8, and G9).
