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 receiving here in Mundo Deportivo, Rafael Padilla, global CEO of Fagron Group, the leading Dutch pharmaceutical company in personalized medicine. A Spanish CEO, what an honor that someone from our country leads this company. We have invited him so that you can talk about Immuno Efe. We have learned during the last months how different elite athletes have used a treatment to combat COVID and to improve the symptoms of COVID, and we want Rafa to explain what this treatment consists of, which is the Immuno Efe formula.

Well, good morning Christina and Pep, good morning. It's a pleasure to be here with you. And what we were talking about, Immuno Forma Immuno 13, which we have seen in the news these last days, is a personalized treatment that is made individually for each patient. What we want is that the syndrome, the disease, does not progress. So this is very important, that it does not progress. It's typical: the first days we have symptoms - headache, fever. When we stop them here, we are doing very well. Obviously, the best is that you never develop symptoms. So prevention is the best treatment.
I
Interviewer1:30
Let's go step by step. Prevention, you talk about prevention. How can we prevent COVID? Beyond washing hands, wearing a mask, the separation that Fagron offers us to prevent? What we have to understand is the virus, what it is and how it develops. If we see that there are symptomatic, asymptomatic, and the three phases, first, second, third, which we all understand very well now. So the immune system, which is like our body's police, a system that weighs one kilo out of the 60-70 kilos a person can weigh... when we have it trained, we will not develop COVID as such, nor other pathologies. But also that it does not progress. So the personalization of the treatment can make the system fully trained and prepared, like a personal trainer. What does that treatment consist of? What is the preventive treatment based on?
R
Rafael Padilla2:37
We can work with products and ingredients, active raw materials of non-synthetic origin, because we have to respect the body's idiosyncrasy. It's very important, Christina, that we understand that we respect this idiosyncrasy with natural, non-synthetic products, and we can modulate the immune response. So to understand immunity, let's 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 innate immune system, which is what your mother gave you when you were born. That's the first phase with macrophages and natural killers. When you have it trained, it's spectacular. Then comes the adaptive or acquired system, which takes about 14 days, on average two weeks, and activates humoral immunity, immunoglobulins, antibodies. In this period from 0 to 14 days, we have to try to make our body react to this intrusion of SARS-CoV-2 that develops COVID. Those 14 days...
I
Interviewer3:57
We have been infected, we have seen that it is very easy. Can I go to the doctor to prescribe this Immuno Efe? What does it consist of? Because if so many elite athletes have used it and it worked for them...
R
Rafael Padilla4:14
I think we have to make it known to everyone. In the end, it's a prize that many people, especially those who live off their bodies, can use. What does the treatment consist of? It is Immuno Efe. Let's focus on that. We have done the treatment here in Spain, it's very important that it is here. We have it globally. It's a global company. We have done it in Brazil, Mexico, Croatia, Greece, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada. It's important as a global company to have our solutions globally. And to your question, being very specific, in these 14 days what we do is reduce it to 24 hours. So imagine that if your second system, the innate one, could not fight SARS-CoV-2, this vanguard comes. Imagine that instead of 14 days, it treats in 24 hours. That's what Immuno Efe does: transfer factors and a technology that we developed at Fagron to make this immune response go from 14 to 24 hours. That's why all these patients who had been infected, in 24 hours maximum, with the right hours, the symptoms disappeared. We have done a very interesting study approved by the ethics committee of the Hospital del Mar here in Barcelona, which is also a pride, because we are going to take the word Barcelona to the rest of the world. What we have seen is a very significant reduction in fever, normally from 2-4 days to 30 days? Actually, from 2-4 days to 2 days? The typical loss of taste and smell, which is normally 45-50 days, we have reduced to 34 days. So we have drastically reduced the days of expression of these symptoms.

Immuno Efe is not only prescribed alone, but also comes with other types of products. Explain to me what this formula consists of that we have explained to different athletes who prescribe it specifically for them.
R
Rafael Padilla6:24
Correct. Then, as it is now, 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 offer them the possibility to go to these prescribers, doctors, and what we do with other active ingredients, other ingredients of non-synthetic origin, natural, respecting the body's idiosyncrasy, is to help all the mechanisms of action we have so that SARS-CoV-2, which develops COVID-19, does not progress.
I
Interviewer7:10
And what other compounds are we talking about?
R
Rafael Padilla7:13
Well, look, we will be working with spirulina, for example, which is a very powerful algae. We will 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 powerful antioxidant. And then, thinking about the adjustment of doses, the prescriber will adjust these doses. How important it is to have the immune system regulated. All processes of aging, or a genetic cancer process, when the mechanism is a trigger in epigenetics that wakes it up, also immune. Immunotherapy. Autoimmune diseases, psoriasis for example, colitis, also immune. All systems are very important, the nervous, digestive, circulatory, but the immune system is like the police of the body. Obviously, we are exposed to different microorganisms, but also to the body's own degeneration. So when a cell is not well, who cleans it? That is the immune system.
I
Interviewer8:30
How many things we are learning through this epidemic, this pandemic, that has changed our lives so much. The esteem that we have acted before to prevent, prevention is a better treatment. Health is typical: you don't know you have it until you lose it. So I think that among all 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.
R
Rafael Padilla9:21
Exactly. This is like a car. You have a car, Christina, right? So what do you normally do? You do those revisions. The car can work very well, but you do your revisions, and when you have years, you pass the ITV. Well, here it would be the same. Here we go to the doctor when we are very, very old and we do check-ups, or when we have a pathology. But if you don't have it, you know the cure. The ambition and the mission in positive is to say: I am going to take care of my health because it is the best legacy I can leave to myself. And that is prevention. And in many countries like the US, Japan, Brazil, it is the day-to-day. I think that in Europe it is also arriving and installed to stay.
I
Interviewer9:59
What habits do we have to change in our lives, besides the prevention? Not only is there the help of medicine, we can also do things individually in our normal habits.
R
Rafael Padilla10:12
Exactly. First, the emotional part. That is, how you think, how you speak, how you act. The emotional part is fundamental because when you think, the brain works, consumes 25% of the body's energy. If the brain does that, imagine. The emotion will determine how your physical system, your metabolic system, will act. On the humor topic, as we talked before about cellular and moral, with this menu, the same. First is sleep. It is fundamental to sleep well, 6, 7, 8 hours, deep sleep like a child, without any worries. You can, because you are not going to solve anything in bed. Sleep is the second thing. Third, physical exercise, very important, aerobic and anaerobic. I go running, but now it's very trendy, but also strength training, very important to maintain bone structure, and also because doing sports, both aerobic and anaerobic, you take care of the emotional part that we mentioned. And then, very important, eat well. The typical: 'Hey, I'm going to eat well, yes, but eat what you also need.' So for that, nowadays there are many techniques like nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics that help you choose what you have to eat. It's very important, and also eat what the food of your food ate. I'll explain: if you go to tomatoes, where do they come from? The soil has been exhausted, there are no more minerals, nothing.
I
Interviewer12:08
Well, very interesting everything you have explained. The global CEO, a person 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, Rafa. Because in the end, the virus may pass or stay, but we are surrounded by viruses. We have to think not only about this pandemic, but other pandemics can come. We have to protect our body.
R
Rafael Padilla12:45
Exactly. That is in history. Humanity knows that there will be others. We have already seen that there is a mutation in the UK, and there are cases here in Seville, Madrid, Logroño. So this goes fast. Evolution comes from how animals interact with microorganisms. It will always be there. That's why the importance of having a fully trained immune system, a physical system that is not completely given, and an emotional system that is very stable to help us face everything that may come.
