About Rafael Padilla

In a May 2020 webinar on returning to the office during the COVID-19 pandemic, Padilla described the virus's mechanism of action in the body, stating that it is "pro-thrombotic, pro-inflammatory, and exacerbates oxidative stress." He said that in the third phase of infection, the virus attacks organs including the lungs, heart, kidneys, and brain. Padilla also stated that the pandemic presents "an opportunity... to rethink our lives" in areas such as work, sustainability, and work-life balance.

Today we have the pleasure of welcoming here on the Mundo Deportivo program Rafael Padilla, who is the global CEO of Fagron Group, the world's leading Dutch pharmaceutical company in personalized medicine. A Spanish CEO—what an honor that someone from our country leads this pharmaceutical company. We invited him to talk to us about Immuno F. We have learned in recent months how different elite athletes have used a treatment to fight COVID and to improve the symptoms of COVID, and we want Rafael to explain what this treatment consists of, what the symbol formula is, what Immune F is.

Very well, good morning Cristina and also good morning. It's a pleasure to be here with you. And what we were talking about, Immuno Formula and 113 that we have seen in the news these days, is a personalized treatment that is made individually for each person, each patient. And what we want is that the syndrome, the disease, does not progress, correct? So this is very important that it does not progress. The typical few days when we have symptoms, headache, fever, when we stop it here, we are doing very well. Obviously the best is that it never develops symptoms, correct? So prevention is the best treatment. Let's delve into parts.

Interviewer1:37
Prevention, you talk about what we can prevent. How can we prevent COVID, and beyond choosing hand washing, masks, and social distancing, what does Fagron offer to prevent? What we have to understand is COVID, how it develops. We see symptomatic and asymptomatic, they advance in three phases: first, second, third, we all understand that very well, right? So the immune system is like our body's police force, a system that weighs a kilo out of 60-70 kilos for an average woman, a kilo of the immune system. When we have it trained, we will not develop COVID as such, also other pathologies. That interests us a lot with COVID, but also that it does not progress. So the personalization of the treatment can make the immune system fully trained and prepared, like a personal trainer. So what does that treatment consist of? What is the preventive treatment based on?
R
Rafael Padilla2:42
Well, we can work with products and ingredients, active raw materials of non-synthetic origin, because we have to respect the idiosyncrasy of the body. It is very important, Cristina, that we understand that we respect this idiosyncrasy with natural products or of non-synthetic origin, and we can modulate the immune response. To understand immunity, think that there are three phases, three very important things. The first is the body, the gastric acid and physical barriers. Then there is the second barrier, which is the immune system, an innate one that your mother gave you when you were born. The first phase involves macrophages, which are prodigious cells that eat large things. The innate system includes macrophages, natural killers. When it is trained, it is spectacular. Then comes the adaptive or acquired immune system, which would take about 14 days, around two weeks, which makes the humoral immunity, immunoglobulins, antibodies—all that we hear—become activated. In this period from 0 to 14 days, we have to try that our body reacts to this intrusion of SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID. Those 14 days... We have become infected, we have seen that it is very easy.

Can I go to the doctor so that he prescribes me Immune F? What does it consist of? Because if so many elite athletes have used it and it has worked for them, I think we have to make it known to everyone. In the end, it is a treatment that many people have used, and moreover, they live off their bodies. What does the treatment consist of? What is the Immune F?
R
Rafael Padilla4:31
Now we focus on it, perfect. And we have done the treatment here in Spain as well. It is very important, Cristina, that we have it at a global level. As we have done, we are a global company. We have done it in Brazil, Mexico, Croatia, Greece, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada. It is something that as a global company we have a global solution, correct? And Immune F, to answer your question very concretely: the 14 days, what we do is reduce it to 24 hours. So imagine that if your system suppresses its second system, the innate one could not combat SARS-CoV-2, this vanguard that comes. Imagine that instead of 14 days, it takes 24 hours. So what Immune F does is transfer factors and solates, a trilogy that we rolled out from Fagron, so that this immune response goes from 14 to 2 hours. That is why the symptomatology of all these patients who had been infected disappeared in 24 or maximum 48 hours, correct. And we have done a very interesting study approved by the ethics committee of Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, which is a pride because we are going to take the word Barcelona to the rest of the world. What we have seen is a very, very significant reduction. Fever normally median of 24 days, 30 days to two days, yes. The typical loss of taste and smell, permanent up to 45 days, we have reduced it to 34 days, correct. So we have drastically reduced this symptomatology, the days of expression.

Interviewer6:10
And your Immune F is not only prescribed alone, but it is also accompanied by other types of products. Explain to me what this Immuno Formula consists of, which different athletes have told us they were prescribed specifically for them.
R
Rafael Padilla6:29
So as you say, specifically, personally, each person is different. So the prescribers, the doctors who work with magistral formulation or personalized medicine, they adjust the products and doses for each individual. Obviously in Spain there are many doctors with a lot of knowledge to work with this technology. If a person does not find it from Fagron, we give them the possibility to go to these prescriber doctors, and what we do with other active ingredients, I repeat, of non-synthetic origin, respecting the idiosyncrasy of the body, is to help all the mechanisms of action we have so that SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID does not progress.
I
Interviewer7:13
Correct, and what other compounds are we talking about?
R
Rafael Padilla7:16
Well, we would be working with spirulina, for example, which is a very powerful algae. We would be working with vitamin D, also very important for immunity and for other mechanisms of the body. We are working with ferulic acid, a very potent antioxidant. And then thinking about the adjustment of doses, the prescriber will do that. When it is important to have the immune system regulated—all processes of aging or a cancer process that is thought to be genetic—the trigger that activates it is also immune and immune therapy. Autoimmune diseases like psoriasis, colitis also. So the immune system is very important. The body, all systems are important: nervous, digestive, etc., but the immune system is like the police of the body. And obviously we are exposed to different microorganisms, but also to the body's own degeneration. When a cell is not well, the immune system...

Interviewer8:35
How many things we are learning through this epidemic, this pandemic of COVID that has changed our lives so much. What a shame we didn't act earlier to prevent. If prevention is the best treatment, and health is typical—you don't know you have it until you lose it. So I think among all of us we have to think that we are going to protect the most precious thing we have, which is our health, so that we don't have to work on something not nice, which is disease. What a shame because we are used to going to the doctor only when something hurts, and they put a patch to remedy it. When the world was moving towards personalized medicine, in the end what it encourages us is to prevent before curing, right?
R
Rafael Padilla9:26
Exactly. This is a car. You have a car, Cristina. So what do you do? 90% of those check-ups—the car may work very well, but you do your check-ups, and when it gets older you pass the MOT. Here it would be the same. Here we go to the doctor when we are very old and do check-ups, or when we have a pathology. But if you don't have that, you know the ambition and the positive mission to say: I am going to take care of my health because it is the best legacy I can leave myself. And that is prevention. Many countries work on this daily: United States, Japan, Brazil. I think in Europe it is also arriving, and it has come to stay.
I
Interviewer10:03
What habits do we have to change in our lives, besides that, to prevent? Not only is there the help of medicine, we can also do things ourselves, individually, in our normal habits.
R
Rafael Padilla10:17
Exactly. First, the emotional part. How you think is how you speak, how you act, and things can heal. Not the opposite. The emotional part is fundamental because when you think, the brain works, consumes 25% of the body's energy. The brain takes it, imagine. Emotion will determine how your physical system, your metabolic system acts. For the mood aspect, as we talked about before about the humoral, with the immune topic the same. This is one: sleep.
Fundamental to sleep well. The 6, 7, 8 hours you sleep, sleep well, deeply like a child, without any worries, and you can because you won't solve anything in bed. Sleep is the second thing. The third, physical exercise, very important, aerobic and anaerobic. I'm going to run, the run is very trendy now, running, but also the strength part, very important to maintain bone structure, and also because when you do sports, both aerobic and anaerobic, you are taking care of the emotional part of the brain. Correct. And then very important: eating well. The typical 'I'm going to eat well', yes, but eat what you need. Now there are many techniques like nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics that help you choose what to eat. It is very important. And also eat what the food of your food ate, if I explain myself. If you go to tomatoes, where do the tomatoes come from? The soil has been exhausted, there are no more minerals. Well, I think very good, right?
I
Interviewer12:12
Well, very interesting everything that the global CEO is explaining to us. A person, a pharmacist from Tarragona who emigrated to study first and then leads this pharmaceutical company that has brought us one of the treatments for COVID. But we go much further, Rafael, because in the end COVID will pass or stay, but we are surrounded by viruses. In the end, we have to think not only about this pandemic but that other pandemics may come. We have to protect our bodies.
R
Rafael Padilla12:49
Exactly. In history, humanity knows that COVID stays and others will come. We have already seen mutations with names in English, and there are cases here in Seville, Madrid, Logroño. So this goes fast. It is evolution. Evolution also comes from how animals interact with microorganisms. It will always be there. So the importance of point one: have a fully trained immune system. Point two: have a physical system, the chassis, not completely misaligned. Point three: the emotional system. It is very important that we have it super stable, that helps us face everything that may come, without a doubt.
