NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2022
Note 1 – Organization and Business Description
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (“TSI” or the “Company”) was organized August 6, 2007 under the name Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc., under the laws of the State of Nevada. In the first quarter of 2011 the Company changed its name from Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc. to Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., and acquired Splint Decisions, Inc., a California corporation.
Business Description
Currently, the Company is focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) one’s immune system.
Activating one’s immune system is now an accepted method to treat certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting one’s immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
TSI is developing a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, improve maternal and fetal health, fight periodontal disease, and for daily health.
Cellular Division – TSOI obtained exclusive rights to a patented adult stem cell for development of therapeutics in the area of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Lung Pathology (LP).
The stem cell licensed, termed “JadiCell” is unique in that it possesses features of mesenchymal stem cells, however, outperforms these cells in terms of a) enhanced growth factor production; b) augmented ability to secrete exosomes; and c) superior angiogenic and neurogenic ability.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repetitive concussive/sub-concussive hits to the head sustained over a period of years and is often found in football players. The condition is characterized by memory loss, impulsive/erratic behavior, impaired judgment, aggression, depression, and dementia. In many patients with CTE, it is anatomically characterized by brain atrophy, reduced mass of frontal and temporal cortices, and medial temporal lobe. TSOI has previously filed several patents in the area of CTE based on modulating the brain microenvironment to enhance receptivity of regenerative cells such as stem cells. On March 4, 2021 the Company received an IND Serial # 27377 for a clinical trial of 10 patients with CTE.
On August 4th, 2021, the Company announced clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase III pivotal trial for registration of the Company’s JadiCell™ universal donor stem cell as a treatment for COVID-19 associated lung failure under IND # 19757. In previous studies the Company has demonstrated the superior activity of JadiCell™ to other types of stem cells including bone marrow, adipose, cord blood, and placenta. Furthermore, the JadiCell™ was shown to be 100% effective in saving the lives of COVID-19 patients under the age of 85 in a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial with patients in the ICU on a ventilator. In patients over the age of 85 the survival rate was 91%.
In addition, the Company has filed data with the FDA, as part of IND #17448, which demonstrated that treatment of cancer patients with StemVacs™ resulted in enhanced activity of a type of immunological cell called “natural killer” cells, otherwise known as “NK cells.”
The Company has also developed an allogenic version of StemVacs and has filed patents to cover activating universal donor immune system cells called dendritic cells in a manner so that upon injection they reprogram the body’s NK cells.
Most recently the Company announced filing of a patent for a new hybrid cell created by the Company capable of training the immune system to kill blood vessels feeding cancer, but sparing healthy blood vessels. These discoveries are an extension of previous findings from the Company showing that StemVacs is capable of suppressing new blood vessel production.
On May 9, 2022, the Company filed an Investigational New Drug Application for Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Using JadiCell™ Universal Donor Adult Stem Cells under IND Serial # 28508.

THERAPEUTIC SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2022
Management does not expect existing cash as of March 31, 2022 to be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has incurred losses totaling $14.5 million since inception, has not yet generated material revenue from operations, and will require additional funds to maintain its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months through its existing financial resources and we may also raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations and/or licensing arrangements. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or curtail, our operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 – Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. No material activity in any subsidiaries.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606,”Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). In accordance with ASC 606, the Company applies the following methodology to recognize revenue:
1) | Identify the contract with a customer. | |
2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract. | |
3) | Determine the transaction price. | |
4) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. | |
5) | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
ASC 606 provides that sales revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generally satisfies performance obligations upon shipment of the product or service to the customer. This is consistent with the time in which the customer obtains control of the product or service.
Returns. We will gladly accept the return of products that are defective due to defects in manufacturing and/or workmanship.
Wholesale policies:
Delivery. The Goods shall be deemed delivered when Buyer has accepted delivery at the above-referenced location. The shipping method shall be determined by Seller, but Buyer will not be responsible for shipping costs.
Purchase Price & Payments. Seller agrees to sell the Goods to Buyer for Fifty Percent (50%) off Sellers listed retail price (see Exhibit A). Seller will provide an invoice to Buyer at the time of delivery. All invoices must be paid, in full, within thirty (30) days. Any balances not paid within thirty (30) days will be subject to a five percent (5%) late payment penalty. In the event Buyer exceeds the aggregate of $500,000.00 worth of aforementioned products having been purchased, delivered, and paid for, Buyer will be entitled to an additional Five Percent (5%) discount up to the aggregate of $750,000.00. In the event Buyer exceeds the aggregate of $750,000.00 worth of aforementioned products having been purchased, delivered, and paid for, Buyer will be entitled to an additional Five Percent (5%) discount up to the aggregate of $1,500,000.00. All future sales after initial $1,500,000 in aggregate purchases will be sold at 60% off retail.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2022
Inspection of Goods & Rejection. Buyer is entitled to inspect the Goods upon delivery. If the Goods are unacceptable for any reason, Buyer must reject them at the time of delivery up to five (5) business days from the date of delivery. If Buyer has not rejected the Goods within five (5) business days from the date of delivery, Buyer shall have waived any right to reject that specific delivery of Goods. In the event Buyer rejects the Goods, Buyer shall allow Seller a reasonable time to cure the deficiency. A reasonable time period shall be determined by industry standards for the particular Goods, as well as the Seller and Buyer.
Risk of Loss. Risk of loss will be on the Seller until the time when the Buyer accepts delivery. Seller shall maintain any and all necessary insurance in order to insure the Goods against loss at Seller’s own expense
Retail policies of e-commerce:
Shipping. Shipping Time — Most orders will ship the next business day, provided the product ordered is in stock. Orders are not processed or shipped on Saturday or Sunday, except by prior arrangement. We cannot guarantee when an order will arrive. Consider any shipping or transit time offered to you by this site or other parties only as an estimate. We encourage you to order in a timely fashion to avoid delays caused by shipping or product availability. Fulfillment mistakes that may be made which result in the shipment of incorrect products to you will also be accepted for return.
Out of Stock. We will ship your product as it becomes available. Usually, products ship by the next business day. However, there may be times when the product you have ordered is out-of-stock, which will delay fulfilling your order. We will keep you informed of any products that you have ordered that are out-of-stock and unavailable for immediate shipment. You may cancel your order at any time prior to shipping.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $0 and $0 in excess of the FDIC insured limit.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method, “FIFO”) or market. Inventories consist of purchased materials and assembly items.
Derivative Liabilities
A derivative is an instrument whose value is “derived” from an underlying instrument or index such as a future, forward, swap, option contract, or other financial instrument with similar characteristics, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.
As a matter of policy, the Company does not invest in separable financial derivatives or engage in hedging transactions. However, the Company entered into certain debt financing transactions in fiscal 2022 and 2021, as disclosed in Note 5, containing certain conversion features that have resulted in the instruments being deemed derivatives. We evaluate such derivative instruments to properly classify such instruments within equity or as liabilities in our financial statements. Our policy is to settle instruments indexed to our common shares on a first-in-first-out basis.
The classification of a derivative instrument is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.

Instruments classified as derivative liabilities are remeasured using the Black-Scholes model at each reporting period (or upon reclassification) and the change in fair value is recorded on our consolidated statement of operations. We recorded derivative liabilities of $487,661 and $531,525 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaids, convertible notes, and payables. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by level within the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3 – Inputs lack observable market data to corroborate management’s estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
When determining fair value, whenever possible the Company uses observable market data, and relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has level 3 fair value calculations on derivative liabilities. The table below reflects the results of our Level 3 fair value calculations:
The following is the change in derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2022:
Balance, December 31, 2021 | $ | 531,525 | ||
Issuance of new derivative liabilities | 211,532 | |||
Conversions to paid-in capital | (113,090 | ) | ||
Change in fair market value of derivative liabilities | (142,306 | ) | ||
Balance, March 31, 2022 | $ | 487,661 |
Use of Estimates
Estimates were made relating to valuation allowances, impairment of assets, share-based compensation expense and accruals. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss for the periods reported was comprised solely of the Company’s net loss.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares had been issued, if such additional common shares were dilutive. Since we had net losses for all the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, and additional potential common shares have been excluded as their effect would be antidilutive.

March 31, 2022
As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, a total of and , respectively, potential common shares, consisting of shares underlying outstanding convertible notes payable were excluded as their inclusion would be antidilutive.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization is computed using the straight line method over the term of the agreement. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1,163 and $195, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consisted primarily of intellectual properties such as proprietary nutraceutical formulations. Intellectual assets are capitalized in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or other changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $5,693 and $1,648, respectively.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
Research and Development
Research and Development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and Development expenses were $304,159 and $19,697 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” which codified SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Compensation expense for stock issued to employees is determined as the fair value of consideration or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-07 to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees. The effective date for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the effective date is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted during the year ended December 31, 2018 for which there was no impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company issues shares for multiyear consulting agreements which are restricted and nonrefundable shares.

Leases
On February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and eliminates certain real estate-specific provisions. ASU 2016-02 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 and was adopted on a modified retrospective transition basis for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company recorded a Right-of-use asset and a Lease Liability of $27,923 as of March 31, 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance improves and clarifies the fair value measurement disclosure requirement of ASC 820. The new disclosure requirements include the changes in unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurement held at the end of the reporting period and the explicit requirement to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The other provisions of ASU 2018-13 also include eliminated and modified disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, including in an interim period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. The Company has evaluated the impact of adoption of this ASU and determined that it will have no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 eliminated certain exceptions and changed guidance on other matters. The exceptions relate to the allocation of income taxes in separate company financial statements, tax accounting for equity method investments and accounting for income taxes when the interim period year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated full year loss. Changes relate to the accounting for franchise taxes that are income-based and non-income-based, determining if a step up in tax basis is part of a business combination or if it is a separate transaction, when enacted tax law changes should be included in the annual effective tax rate computation, and the allocation of taxes in separate company financial statements to a legal entity that is not subject to income tax. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact but does not believe there will be an impact of the adoption of this standard on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows and related disclosures.

Note 7 - Notes Payable-Related Party
At March 31 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has unsecured interest-bearing demand notes outstanding to certain officers and directors amounting to $969,285 and $965,285, respectively. Interest accrued on these notes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $6,478 and $6,478, respectively. Of these, $251,000 are convertible into common stock at prices ranging from $0.004 and $0.005.
Note 8 – Convertible Notes Payable
At various times during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company entered into convertible promissory notes with principal amounts totaling $156,250 with a third party for which the proceeds were used for operations. The Company received net proceeds of $145,000, and a $11,250 original issuance discount was recorded. As of March 31, 2022, the Company also had outstanding convertible promissory notes with principal totaling $196,250 issued at various dates throughout the year ended December 31, 2021. The convertible promissory notes incur interest at rates from 10% to 12% per annum and mature on dates ranging from October 1, 2022 to March 2, 2023. The convertible promissory notes are convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock 180 days after issuance. The conversion price per share is equal to 61% to 63% of the average of the three (3) lowest trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the fifteen (15) trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. The trading price is defined within the agreement as the closing bid price on the applicable trading market. The Company has the option to prepay the convertible notes in the first 180 days from closing subject to prepayment penalties ranging from 120% to 145% of principal balance plus interest, depending upon the date of prepayment. The convertible promissory notes include various default provisions for which the default interest rate increases to 22% per annum with the outstanding principal and accrued interest increasing by 150%. The Company was required to reserve at March 31, 2022 a total of common shares in connection with these promissory notes.
Derivative liabilities
These convertible promissory notes are convertible into a variable number of shares of common stock for which there is not a floor to the number of common stock we might be required to issue. Based on the requirements of ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the conversion feature represented an embedded derivative that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a separate derivative liability. The derivative liability is originally recorded at its estimated fair value and is required to be revalued at each conversion event and reporting period. Changes in the derivative liability fair value are reported in operating results each reporting period.
For the notes issued during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company valued the conversion feature on the date of issuance resulting in an initial liability of $211,532. Since the fair value of the derivative was in excess of the proceeds received, a full discount to convertible notes payable and a day one loss on derivative liabilities of $66,532 was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Upon issuance, the Company valued the conversion feature using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: conversion prices ranging from $ to $ , the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation ranging from $ to $ , an expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility ranging from 160% to 216%, risk-free interest rate ranging from 0.48% to 1.06%, and an expected term of one year.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, convertible notes with principal and accrued interest balances totaling $115,275 were converted into shares of common stock. At each conversion date, the Company recalculated the value of the derivative liability associated with the convertible note recording a gain (loss) in connection with the change in fair market value. In addition, the pro-rata portion of the derivative liability as compared to the portion of the convertible note converted was reclassed to additional paid-in capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $113,090 to additional paid-in capital. The derivative liabilities were revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: conversion prices ranging from $ to $ , the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation ranging from $ to $ , an expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility ranging from 166% to 185%, risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.51% to 0.89%, and expected terms of 0.49 years.

On March 31, 2022, the derivative liabilities on the remaining convertible notes were revalued at $487,661 resulting in a gain of $142,306 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities were revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise prices ranging from $ to $ , the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation of $ , an expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility ranging from 166% to 191%, risk-free interest rate of 1.63%, and an expected term ranging from 0.50 to 0.92 years.
The Company amortizes the discounts over the term of the convertible promissory notes using the straight-line method which is similar to the effective interest method. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company amortized $134,031 and $66,856 to interest expense, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, discounts of $248,019 remained which will be amortized through March 2023.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CURRENT BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (“TSOI” or the “Company”) was organized August 6, 2007 under the name Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc., under the laws of the State of Nevada. In the first quarter of 2011 the Company changed its name from Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc. to Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., and acquired Splint Decisions, Inc., a California corporation.
On December 17, 2020, Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. Board of Directors made a decision to move our corporate headquarters to Elk City, Idaho 83525 and has purchased real property at 701 Wild Rose Lane and 50 Bullock Lane, Elk City Idaho 83525. The Company will continue to maintain a satellite office at the current address of 4093 Oceanside Blvd., Suite B, Oceanside CA, 92056.
Business Description
Currently the Company is focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) one’s immune system.
Activating one’s immune system is now an accepted method to treat certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting one’s immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
TSOI is developing a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, traumatic brain injury, and for daily health.
Nutraceutical Division – TSOI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its current flagship product, QuadraMune® , is a multi-patented synergistic blend of pterostilbene, sulforaphane, epigallocatechingallate, and thymoquionone. QuadraMune has been shown to increase Natural Killer Cell activity and healthy Cytokine production. Our synergistic blend of ingredients help the immune system fight off common and complex ailments and promote healthy T Cell activity. Recently the Company was approved to sell certain nutraceuticals on the Amazon Platform.
Cellular Division – TSOI obtained exclusive rights to a patented adult stem cell for development of therapeutics in the area of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Lung Pathology (LP).
17 |
The stem cell licensed, termed “JadiCell” is unique in that it possesses features of mesenchymal stem cells, however, outperforms these cells in terms of a) enhanced growth factor production; b) augmented ability to secrete exosomes; and c) superior angiogenic and neurogenic ability.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repetitive concussive/sub-concussive hits to the head sustained over a period of years and is often found in football players. The condition is characterized by memory loss, impulsive/erratic behavior, impaired judgment, aggression, depression, and dementia. In many patients with CTE, it is anatomically characterized by brain atrophy, reduced mass of frontal and temporal cortices, and medial temporal lobe. TSOI has previously filed several patents in the area of CTE based on modulating the brain microenvironment to enhance receptivity of regenerative cells such as stem cells. On March 4, 2021 the Company received an IND Serial # 27377 for a clinical trial of 10 patients with CTE.
On August 4th, 2021, the Company announced clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase III pivotal trial for registration of the Company’s JadiCellTM universal donor stem cell as a treatment for COVID-19 associated lung failure under IND # 19757. In previous studies the Company has demonstrated the superior activity of JadiCellTM to other types of stem cells including bone marrow, adipose, cord blood, and placenta. Furthermore, the JadiCellTM was shown to be 100% effective in saving the lives of COVID-19 patients under the age of 85 in a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial with patients in the ICU on a ventilator. In patients over the age of 85 the survival rate was 91%. The Company also recently announced the launching of Phase III for IND # 19757 with Biorasi LLC, a global, full-service CRO, who will run the clinical trial.

1. | Treat innate immune suppression: Administration of oral apigenin/NanoStilbene (Cancer DeTox Product) to decrease immune suppressive toxic molecules made by tumor and tumor microenvironment. | |
2. | Treat adaptive immune suppression: Administration of MemoryMune to activate dormant memory cells recognizing the tumor. Administration of LymphoBoost to repair deficient IL-12 production. | |
3. | Stimulation of immune response to cancer stem cells (StemVacs). | |
4. | Consolidation and maintenance of immunity: Cycles of StemVacs, supported by innaMune and LymphoBoost |

StemVacs Autologous is a subcutaneously administered vaccine comprised of immune stimulatory peptides resembling cancer stem cell specific proteins.
StemVacs Allogeneic is a subcutaneously administered vaccine comprised of immune stimulatory peptides resembling cancer stem cell specific proteins.
Cancer Metabolic DeTox: This is an orally administered agent that is derived from various herbs termed apigenin. The unique property of apigenin is that it inhibits a cancer associated metabolic pathway that degrades the amino acid tryptophan. Specifically, apigenin inhibits the enzyme indolamine 2,3 deoxygenase (IDO), which is responsible for breaking down tryptophan in the vicinity of the tumor and generating by-products such as kynurenine. It is known that immune activation is dependent on tryptophan being present in the tumor environment. The depletion of tryptophan and generation of kynurenine by tumor cells and tumor associated cells is a major cause of immune suppression in cancer. By administering Cancer Metabolic DeTox, the innate arm of the immune system has a chance to regenerate. This positions the patient for better outcome after administration of specific immune stimulating vaccines.
MemoryMune: This is a product derived from a two-step culture process of donor blood cells. The product MemoryMune reawakens dormant immune memory cells. It is known that many cancer patients possess memory T cells that enter the tumor, however, once inside the tumor these cells are inactivated. MemoryMune contains a unique combination of growth factors specific for immune system cells called “cytokines”.
LymphoBoost: LymphoBoost is a proprietary formulation of Misoprostol, a drug approved for another indication, which we have shown to be capable of stimulating lymphocytes, particularly NK cells and T cells, both critical in maintaining anti-tumor immunity.
innaMune: This is a biological product derived from tissue culture of blood cells derived from healthy donors. It is a combination of cytokines that maintain activity of innate immune system cells, as well as having ability to shift M2 macrophages to M1.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) – Right To Try
On December 10, 2018 Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., announced the signing of an agreement between TSOI and Jadi Cell LLC for licensing of the Jadi Cell universal donor adult stem cell, as covered in US Patent No.: 9,803,176 B2 for use in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
In addition, on February 9, 2021 we obtained exclusive rights under the same for use of US Patent No.: 9,803,176 B2 in the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and other lung pathologies. The JadiCell was reported in a publication from the University of Miami following a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, demonstrating intravenous administration of JadiCells, resulted in a significant survival improvement in COVID-19 patients. The Phase 1/2 double blind, placebo-controlled trial treated 12 advanced COVID-19 patients with 100 million JadiCellsTM intravenously at days 0 and 3, and 12 patients received placebo control. At 28 days 91% of JadiCellTM treated patients survived whereas only 42% of patients in the placebo group survived. There were no adverse effects associated with JadiCellTM administration. For those treated with the JadiCell under the age of 85 the survival rate was 100% and in those over 85 the survival rate was 91% making the JadiCell the most effective therapy to date in the entire world to treat ARDS.
The Jadi Cell product, which belongs to the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) family of cells, is a unique adult stem cell, which produces higher levels of therapeutic factors compared to other stem cells. The cells have demonstrated safety in animal models and pilot human trials. The Jadi Cell product is generated from umbilical cords, which are a source of medical waste and available in large quantities at inexpensive prices.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repetitive concussive/sub-concussive hits to the head sustained over a period of years and is often found in football players. The condition is characterized by memory loss, impulsive/erratic behavior, impaired judgment, aggression, depression, and dementia. In many patients with CTE, it is anatomically characterized by brain atrophy, reduced mass of frontal and temporal cortices, and medial temporal lobe.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an insult to the brain, not of a degenerative or congenital nature, but caused by external physical force that may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness, which results in an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning.
CTE represents a significant unmet medical need which we believe is amenable to stem cell intervention. We are eager to accelerate treatments and potential cures for debilitating conditions such as CTE and traumatic brain injury and plan to leverage New regulatory pathways such as the recently approved “Right to Try” Law to deliver these medicines as soon as possible to patients which currently have no other options.
25 |
The Jadi Cell product because of its advanced stage of development in contrast to other stem cell types, which require years, if not decades of development before entry into American patients, will allow us we believe to be treating patients within 12 months. Currently means of isolating, producing, scaling up, and delivery of the cells has all been worked out by Jadi Cell and Collaborators.
On Decemeber 17, 2020 the Company filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application seeking permission from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial assessing safety and signals of efficacy for treatment of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) patients with JadiCells™.
On August 4th, 2021, the Company announced clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase III pivotal trial for registration of the Company’s JadiCellTM universal donor stem cell as a treatment for COVID-19 associated lung failure under IND # 19757. In previous studies the Company has demonstrated the superior activity of JadiCellTM to other types of stem cells including bone marrow, adipose, cord blood, and placenta. Furthermore, the JadiCellTM was shown to be 100% effective in saving the lives of COVID-19 patients under the age of 85 in a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial with patients in the ICU on a ventilator. In patients over the age of 85 the survival rate was 91%. The Company also recently announced the launching of Phase III for IND # 19757 with Biorasi LLC, a global, full-service CRO, who will run the clinical trial.
Sars/CoV2 Clinical Programs
On June 8, 2020 the Company announced the initiation of a clinical trial aimed at demonstrating safety and efficacy of its immune-boosting formulation QuadraMune™. The trial is anticipated to recruit 500 subjects at risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the type of coronavirus which causes COVID-19. The new clinical trial has been granted ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04421391 and is listed and registered on the Federal Clinical Trial registry.
The Company announced recently submission of a publication providing preclinical data which supports repositioning of its Cancer Immunotherapy StemVacs™ as a candidate for treatment of COVID-19. StemVacs™ is based on activating universal donor immune system cells called dendritic cells in a manner so that upon injection they reprogram the body’s “Natural Killer” cells.
Natural killer cells are the most potent cell type in the body in terms of killing viruses. Unfortunately, natural killer cells also produce chemicals called cytokines which at high concentrations can be lethal. The current data suggests that StemVacs™ can activate natural killer cells while at the same time suppressing lung inflammation. This dual mechanism of action makes StemVacs™ a promising candidate for treatment of coronavirus.
Schizophrenia/Suicide Clinical Programs
On October 29, 2020 the Company announced publication on the NIH clinical trials website of its newly initiated trial aiming to validate a blood-based diagnostic for predicting suicide risk and is listed as NCT04606875.
The Campbell Score™, which is a patent-pending method of quantifying inflammatory-associated biological markers, has previously been shown in pilot investigator-initiated studies to correlate with propensity for suicide. Based on positive feedback from collaborators, the Company decided to initiate a formal clinical trial to validate correlations between the Campbell Score™ and established psychiatric assessment tools of suicidal propensity. Currently the only means of quantifying predisposition to suicide is based on psychological, question-based techniques.
On December 31, 2020 the Company signed license agreements with Campbell Neurosciences Inc., a partially owned company, for access to the 9 patents filed related to the previous Campbell Neurosciences Division. The patents are:
1. | 63/128759 Immunotherapy for Opioid Addiction | |
2. | 63/122862 Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder and Suicidal Ideations Through Stimulation of Hippocampal Neurogenesis Utilizing Plant-Based Approaches | |
3. | 63/105964 Protection/Regeneration of Neurological Function by Endothelial Protection/Rejuvenation using Stem Cells for Treatment of Conditions such as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and Schizophrenia | |
4. | 17/030416 Personalized Immunotherapies for Reduction of Brain Inflammation and Suicide Prevention | |
5. | 63/077723 Immunotherapy of Schizophrenia and Schizophrenia Associated Suicidal Ideation/Suicide |

8. | 63/061202 Prevention of Neuroinflammation associated Memory Loss Using Nutraceutical Compositions | |
9. | 63/057315 Neuroprotection and Neuroregeneration by Pterostilbene and Compositions Thereof |
Additionally, Campbell Neurosciences Inc. has entered into purchase agreements with Therapeutic Solutions International ensuring a continued supply, at a discounted rate, of nutraceuticals which are being explored for antiinflammation/suicide prevention activity.
Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Using JadiCell™ Universal Donor Adult Stem Cells
COPD is a consistently progressive, ultimately fatal disease for which no treatment exists capable of either reversing or even interrupting its course. It afflicts more than 5% of the population in many countries, and it accordingly represents the third most frequent cause of death in the U.S., where it accounts for more than 600 billion in health care costs, morbidity, and mortality.
JadiCell UC-MSCs have been utilized to treat patients with severe COVID-19 and have yielded promising results, preventing or attenuating the cytokine storm. JadiCells have been recently introduced intravenously in patients with a neurodegenerative disorders, and have been approved for testing in patients with Type 1 Diabetes (TlD). We hypothesize that JadiCells will exert beneficial therapeutic effects in COPD.
The proposed clinical trial will recruit 10 patients of 40-80 years of age with moderate to severe COPD (GOLD [Global Initiative for Chronic Lung Disease]. The enrolled patients will be treated with 100 million JadiCells intravenously with two injections spaced at 48 hours.
These two treatments will be performed on days 0 and 2. JadiCell dosing will be performed at approximately 100 million cells/infusion delivered at a maximum rate of 2 million cells/min per infusion.
Assessment of lung function and safety will be performed on days 0, 30, 60, and 90. Safety will be assessed by occurrence of adverse events (AEs) during either study-drug infusion or by physician assessments and laboratory evaluations, a record of COPD exacerbations will be maintained for each patient.
Efficacy measures will include improvement from baseline in pulmonary functions (FEV 1 , FVC, FEV 1 /FVC, total lung capacity by plethysmography, 27 single-breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity, exercise performance [6-min walk test (6MWT)], and dyspnea assessment [Borg scale]), and QOL (St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire, and global assessment of patient status). COPD exacerbations were assessed as the time to the first exacerbation and as the ratio of the rate of exacerbations between MSC- and placebo-treated patients.
Cellular Manufacturing and Cell Banking
On October 18, 2021, the Company announced the formation of Allogen Biologics Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of TSOI. Allogen Biologics will house intellectual property and Standard Operating Procedures related to generation of the Company’s existing and anticipated cellular therapeutics. In addition, Allogen will house and maintain all relevant cell banks.
On May 10, 2022, Allogen Biologic, Inc, and Therapeutic Solutions International Inc, entered into an Exclusive Patent License Agreement (EPLA) for Patent Application Serial No. 63/254,469, filed by Licensor and titled as: Umbilical Cord Derived Regenerative and Immune Modulatory Stem Cell Populations.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company’s business is subject to varying degrees of regulation by a number of government authorities in the United States, including the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Company will be subject to additional agencies and regulations if it enters the manufacturing business. Various agencies of the state and localities in which we operate and in which our products are sold also regulate our business, such as the California Department of Health Services, Food and Drug Branch. The areas of our business that these and other authorities regulate include, among others:
● | product claims and advertising; | |
● | product labels; | |
● | product ingredients; and | |
● | how we package, distribute, import, export, sell and store our products. |
27 |
The FDA, in particular, regulates the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, storage, labeling, promotion, distribution and sale of vitamins and other nutritional supplements in the United States, while the FTC regulates marketing and advertising claims. The FDA issued a final rule called “Statements Made for Dietary Supplements Concerning the Effect of the Product on the Structure or Function of the Body,” which includes regulations requiring companies, their suppliers and manufacturers to meet Good Manufacturing Practices in the preparation, packaging, storage and shipment of their products. Management is committed to meeting or exceeding the standards set by the FDA.
The FDA has also issued regulations governing the labeling and marketing of dietary and nutritional supplement products. They include:
● | the identification of dietary or nutritional supplements and their nutrition and ingredient labeling; |
● | requirements related to the wording used for claims about nutrients, health claims, and statements of nutritional support; |
● | labeling requirements for dietary or nutritional supplements for which “high potency” and “antioxidant” claims are made; |
● | notification procedures for statements on dietary and nutritional supplements; and |
● | pre-market notification procedures for new dietary ingredients in nutritional supplements. |
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) revised the existing provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act concerning the composition and labeling of dietary supplements and defined dietary supplements to include vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids and other dietary substances used to supplement diets. DSHEA generally provides a regulatory framework to help ensure safe, quality dietary supplements and the dissemination of accurate information about such products. The FDA is generally prohibited from regulating active ingredients in dietary supplements as drugs unless product claims, such as claims that a product may heal, mitigate, cure or prevent an illness, disease or malady, trigger drug status.
The Company is also subject to a variety of other regulations in the United States, including those relating to taxes, labor and employment, import and export, and intellectual property.

Overview
Currently the Company is focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) one’s immune system.
28 |
Activating one’s immune system is now an accepted method to treat certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting one’s immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
TSOI is developing a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, traumatic brain injury, and for daily health.
Nutraceutical Division – TSOI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its current flagship product, QuadraMune® , is a multi-patented synergistic blend of pterostilbene, sulforaphane, epigallocatechingallate, and thymoquionone. QuadraMune has been shown to increase Natural Killer Cell activity and healthy Cytokine production. Our synergistic blend of ingredients help the immune system fight off common and complex ailments and promote healthy T Cell activity. Recently the Company was approved to sell certain nutraceuticals on the Amazon Platform.
Cellular Division – TSOI recently obtained exclusive rights to a patented adult stem cell for development of therapeutics in the area of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and lung pathology.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
We had net loss of $600,923 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a net income of $186,023 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an decrease of $414,000. This decrease was mainly due to increases in salaries, wages and related costs, consulting fees, research & development and interest expenses.
Net sales increased $63,837, from $21,061 to $84,898, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
Cost of goods sold increased $4,857, from $11,081 to $15,938, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively. These increases were mainly a result of the increases in net sales for products in 2022 and 2021.
Operating expenses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021were $595,659 and $270,906, an increase of $324,753. This increase was mainly due to increases in general and administrative, salaries, wages and related expenses, consulting fees, and research and development.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,948, from $36,811 to $40,007 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Salaries, wages, and related expenses increased $9,822, from $104,463 to $114,285 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. This increase was mainly due to an increase in wage related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Consulting fees increased $45,933 from $41,183 to $87,116 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, due to an increase in overall consulting services.
Legal and professional fees decreased $18,660, from $68,752 to $50,092 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, due to an decrease in legal expenses.

Change in fair derivatives liabilities gains decreased approximately $361,880 from $504,186 to $142,306 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. This increase was largely due to a decrease in the balance of convertible notes outstanding upon which the derivative liability is recorded.
Net interest expense increased $68,070 from $81.928 to $149,998 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. This increase was mainly due to increased debt balances.
29 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have experienced recurring losses over the past years which have resulted in accumulated deficits of approximately $14.5 million and a working capital equity of approximately $2 million at March 31, 2022. These conditions raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing, increase sales of its products and attain profitable operations. It is the intent of management to continue to raise additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such additional funds or obtain such on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
There is no guarantee we will receive the required financing to complete our business strategies, and it is uncertain whether future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide this information requested by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were not operating effectively to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
B. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022. In making our assessment, we used the framework and criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013). Based on that assessment, our management has identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management concluded that as of March 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and that material weaknesses existed in the following areas as of March 31, 2022.
(1) | we do not employ full time in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine transactions. With respect to material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions; | |
(2) | we have inadequate segregation of duties consistent with the control objectives including but not limited to the disbursement process, transaction or account changes, and the performance of account reconciliations and approval; | |
(3) | we have ineffective controls over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process caused by insufficient accounting staff. |
30 |
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period or future periods.
However, as of the date of this report, management believes the outcome of currently identified potential claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
