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 thymoquinone.
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).
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%. 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.
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 application covering the
use of JadiCells™ for treatment of epilepsy and associated conditions.

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.
The JadiCell 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 December 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 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%. 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.
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:

Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Using JadiCell™
Universal Donor Adult Stem Cells
On October 7, 2022, the Company formed Breathe Biologics, Inc. and licensed to
them a patent application titled "Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells for
Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Lung Degeneration" that
discloses means of treating lung degenerative diseases including chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (CODP) using umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells
such as JadiCells.
In addition, the Company has transferred ownership of the filed investigational
drug application titled "JadiCell Therapy for COPD" to determine safety and
efficacy of intravenously administered allogeneic JadiCell umbilical cord blood
mesenchymal stem cells in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. The Primary
Endpoint, which is toxicity, will be assessed by number of adverse events (AEs).
The Secondary Endpoint, which is efficacy will be evaluated at baseline and days
30, 60, and 90.
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.
COPD possesses several features making it ideal for stem cell-based
interventions: a) the quality of life and lack of progress demands the ethical
exploration of novel approaches. For example, bone marrow stem cells have been
used in over a thousand cardiac patients with some indication of efficacy.
Adipose-based stem cell therapies have been successfully used in thousands of
race-horses and companion animals without adverse effects, as well as numerous
clinical trials are ongoing and published human data reports no adverse effects.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are potent immunomodulatory cells that recognize
sites of injury, limit effector T cell reactions, and stimulate regulatory cell
populations (i.e., T-regs) via growth factors, cytokines, and other mediators.
Simultaneously, MSCs also stimulate local tissue regeneration via paracrine
effects inducing angiogenic, anti-fibrotic and remodeling responses.
Consequently, MSCs-based therapy represents a viable treatment option for
autoimmune conditions and other inflammatory disorders, yielding beneficial
effects in models of autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus,
Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis, Multiple Sclerosis, cardiac insufficiency, and
organ transplantation. MSCs have been reported to inhibit inflammation and
fibrosis in the lungs, have shown safety in clinical trials for ARDS, and have
been recently suggested as useful to treat patients with severe COVID-19 based
on their effects preventing or attenuating the immunopathogenic cytokine storm.
Unfortunately, evaluation of stem cell therapy in COPD has lagged behind other
areas of regenerative investigation; b) the underlying cause of COPD appears to
be inflammatory and/or immunologically mediated. The destruction of alveolar
tissue is associated with T cell reactivity, pathological pulmonary macrophage
activation, and auto-antibody production. Mesenchymal stem cells have been
demonstrated to potently suppress autoreactive T cells, inhibit macrophage
activation, and autoantibody responses. Additionally, mesenchymal stem cells can
be purified in high concentrations from adipose stromal vascular tissue together
with high concentrations of T regulatory cells, which in animal models are
approximately 100 times more potent than peripheral T cells at secreting
cytokines therapeutic for COPD such as IL-10. Additionally, use of adipose
derived cells has yielded promising clinical results in autoimmune conditions
such as multiple sclerosis; and c) Pulmonary stem cells capable of regenerating
damaged parenchymal tissue have been reported. Administration of mesenchymal
stem cells into neonatal oxygen-damaged lungs, which results in COPD-like
alveoli dysplasia, has been demonstrated to yield improvements in two recent
publications.
Based on the above rationale for stem cell-based COPD treatments, we are
proposing a 10 patient Phase I safety trial to assess ability of JadiCell, a
type of umbilical cord derived stem cells to improve objective and quality of
life parameters in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
MSCs can be derived in large number from the Umbilical Cord (UC). JadiCells are
a type of UC-MSCs, which can be utilized in the allogeneic setting and have
demonstrated safety and efficacy in clinical trials for a number of disease
conditions including inflammatory and immune-based diseases. UC-MSCs have been
shown to inhibit inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs.
18
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 disorder and have been approved for testing in patients with
Type 1 Diabetes (TlD). We hypothesize that JadiCells will exert beneficial
therapeutic effects in COPD.
Breast Cancer Immunotherapy
Recently the Company announced the formation of a Spin-Off Company, Res Nova
Bio, Inc., dedicated to the development of cancer inhibiting anti-angiogenesis
immunotherapies. Res Nova Bio has licensed from Therapeutic Solutions
International intellectual property covering StemVacs-V which is our iPSC
derived platform technology announced in May of 2021. The technology utilizes
pluripotent stem cells called iPSCs in order to generate new cells which
resemble tumor blood vessels that are made to act as a "therapeutic vaccine".
Specifically, the administration of StemVacs-V stimulates the immune system to
selectively kill blood vessels that feed the tumor but not healthy blood
vessels. It is believed that for every 1 tumor blood vessel cell that is killed,
200-300 tumor cells are also killed as a result.
In addition to the license, the Company has transferred ownership of the IND
titled "Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer by StemVacs-V Cancer
Immunotherapeutic" to Res Nova Bio with the primary objective being safety and
feasibility of StemVacs-V administration at 12 months as assessed by lack of
adverse medical events. The secondary objective is efficacy as judged by tumor
response, time to progression, and immunological monitoring.
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.
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.
19
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.
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.
20
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 thymoquinone.
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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have experienced recurring losses over the past years which have resulted in
accumulated deficits of approximately $16.7 million and a working capital
deficit of approximately $1.9 million at September 30, 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.
