The human being is one of more than five million species created by nature and living on Earth. A summer thunderstorm is thirteen times as powerful as the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates that it is about time the humanity wised up and stopped considering itself the centre of the universe. The planet will survive without us, but not the other way round, thinks Khofiz Shakhidi, Chairman of GTL Group.
My family and I have observed the situation very closely from Tel-Aviv since February 2020. We met an amazing man here. Doctor Slavin, 78, Professor of Medicine, Expert in Internal Medicine, Clinical Immunology & Rheumatology heavily involved in immunotherapy of cancer and non-malignant disorders who has founded and headed Israel’s Centre for Stem Cell Transplantation & Cancer Immunotherapy at the prestigious Hadassah Medical Centre, Israel’s largest University Hospital in Jerusalem. He is a person with a wealth of academic and practical medical experience. You can talk about him for hours; throughout these few months, we spent a lot of time talking while taking long walks along the seashore in the morning.
A patient’s own immunity is ‘rebooted’ and adjusted so that it begins to fight cancer cells while using the donor’s immune system to eradicate multi-drug resistant cancer cells.
Slavin and his colleagues have developed a new procedure for safer and more effective stem cell transplantation for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, immune deficiency and genetic diseases. correctible by stem cell transplantation and currently focus on an innovative immunotherapeutic method for treating cancer. A patient’s own immunity is ‘rebooted’ and adjusted so that it begins to fight cancer cells while using the donor’s immune system to eradicate multi-drug resistant cancer cells. The professor and his team have successfully applied immunotherapy to treat a broad spectrum of haematological malignancies and metastatic solid tumours, autoimmune diseases and also used cellular therapy focusing on multi-potent mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSCs) for the treatment of certain inflammatory (e.g. multiple sclerosis) and degenerative disorders of the central nervous system, renal failure and skeletal system.
However, as soon as his effective method for treating diseases that had been considered incurable or conditionally curable became known, the Israeli Ministry of Health showered Professor Slavin with lawsuits. The researcher won six consecutive cases, and functionaries were unable to stop the professor from working at his clinic, where he was treating patients in need from all over the world. In contrast to the Ministry of Health, the Supreme Court did not recognise any of his successful methods to be illegal. Instead of taking advantage of Slavin’s accomplishments and legalizing them to keep Israel ahead of other centres, the Ministry of Health decided to push through a new law to restrict some of his activities and adopt the European regulation that did not allow treating patients with any cells, lymphocytes or MSCs processed in Clean Rooms, which is the only approach to activate lymphocytes to become cancer killer cells or use multi-potent MSCs for the treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune and degenerative disorders. Consequently, some procedures developed by Slavin can only be available abroad at centres where regulation is much more flexible.
However, people continued visiting Slavin and asking him for help. One desperate patient with brain cancer begged him to write a request to the Ministry of Health, hoping to receive a humane reply authorising the use of the cancer killing virus (oncolytic virus), which could be legally accomplished when he was serving at the Hadassah Hospital but was no longer available at an outpatient clinic. As an act of mercy, they allowed the professor to apply his method. More than five years later, that patient is still alive and doing perfectly well having undergone a second brain surgery for her recurrent disease. A couple of weeks later, another patient came to Slavin with exactly the same diagnosis, but that time the ministry banned Slavin from using his method. That patient deceased, unfortunately.

Slavin is heavily involved in developing more innovative therapeutic procedures focusing on biological warfare against cancer by targeting killer cells against multi-drug resistant cancer cells like guided missiles, using synergistic combinations of conventional and off-label medications with known anti-cancer effects on a fully personalized basis.
Incidentally, in Germany, Slavin is collaborating with a distinguished professor who is happy to adopt Slavin’s procedures that cannot be accomplished in Tel Aviv for patients in need. Unfortunately, cancer remains the leading cause of death worldwide and all experts now confirm that many immunotherapy procedures pioneered by Slavin more than 30 years ago may offer patients resistant to all available conventional modalities the only option for cure. Slavin is heavily involved in developing more innovative therapeutic procedures focusing on biological warfare against cancer by targeting killer cells against multi-drug resistant cancer cells like guided missiles, using synergistic combinations of conventional and off-label medications with known anti-cancer effects on a fully personalized basis. Slavin is also engaged in research currently investigating new oncolytic viruses in conjunction with immunotherapy towards improving the success rate for patients with otherwise incurable cancer.
More recently, based on Slavin's experience using harmless viruses on the one hand and different approaches to activating the immune system, Slavin became the Medical Director of a joint research effort of two companies involved in the development of an anti-corona vaccine, which is now produced in large quantities in one of Germany’s biotechnological companies in Berlin. This is a therapeutic post-exposure vaccine ready to be used for patients at risk infected with SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. Moreover, this vaccine activates a patient’s own immune system to fight against the infective virus and as such can be used for the treatment of any future viral epidemics as well. Viruses are embedded in the human genetic chain because they have been with us for the past five million years. Our immune system knows how to respond to viral infections, and there is nothing better than what nature has created and what God has given us to fight them.
In the XXI century, we have started to lose our powerful ally following the emergence of new technologies, cell phones, radio waves, and environmental degradation. These affect the immune system, and you need not be a conspiracy theorist to understand this, as everything has long been studied and proven. GMOs, pesticides and hormones change the planet’s flora and fauna; milk and meat gain completely different properties. All this changes man’s immune response to various kinds of viruses, weakening our defences. Lactose, gluten, pesticides, corn starch, palm oil, transgenic fats and sugar never contribute to good health, either.
On the one hand, we contaminate the environment – air and water. On the other, we poison our own bodies with food manufactured on an industrial scale. In our global world of competing corporations the winner is the one that ensures the lowest costs, which is a fundamental rule of capitalism. The ingredients of such products are therefore the cheapest and of the poorest quality.
Drawing on this concept, Professor Slavin created a cure capable of mobilizing a patient’s own immunity and making it work with the efficiency that it requires. A patient’s bone marrow is stimulated to produce T lymphocytes, which is one part of the treatment. The second one, in simple terms, aims to deceive cells infected with another virus. The problem with COVID-19 is that the virus can multiply, invade the lungs and other tissues via the blood before the human immune system can start reacting against the invader. However, it also happens that sometimes – when it is too late – the immune system seems to suddenly realize that something is wrong and gives a most powerful inflammatory response – a cytokine storm, which kills the patient. Professor Slavin builds on the fact that our body has long been accustomed to deal with invading viruses, first by the induction of non-specific anti-viral mechanisms operated by interferon secretion, then activating the immune system to respond by the induction of anti-virus specific immune responses by cells of the immune system (T cells) and antibodies. As such all of the weapons of the immune system fight against the invading pathogenic virus simultaneously. Slavin’s available Universal Post-exposure Therapeutic Vaccine is a sort of therapeutic vaccine that is likely to cure people who have already been infected, unlike vaccines other companies have been testing thus far unsuccessfully to prevent disease development before exposure to the virus. This vaccine is based on the application of an attenuated poultry virus that can induce an immediate interferon-mediated anti-viral resistance following user-friendly intra-nasal or oral administration. All those who are wondering why treating a pathogenic virus by the inoculation of a different virus is efficient should be reminded that the most aggressive pandemic in the human history was terminated by Edward Jenner. He treated the variola virus that caused the black pox plague and used to kill 20-80% of infected individuals. In his treatments Jenner used the cowpox vaccine – the first successful vaccine in history.
The idea is to start on a limited number of patients for compassionate use, which could be easily expanded within days once the physicians involved have been convinced that the treatment is safe and efficient.
Our joint project with Dr. Slavin is based on the development of new harmless therapeutic viruses against future viral epidemics and cancer because the common denominator is the induction of therapeutic immune responses against invading pathogens on the one hand, and cancer on the other. Slavin currently can offer 10,000 treatment units of the innovative therapeutic vaccinein stock, which were produced for us by Biotech, a most reputable German company. Treatment units are available for free and can be applied as regular nasal drops. As soon as the needed approval for the treatment has been obtained, in order to win time, eliminate red tape and, most importantly, save lives, we will be happy to provide our therapeutic vaccine for free. More can be produced within days in bioreactors. The idea is to start on a limited number of patients for compassionate use, which could be easily expanded within days once the physicians involved have been convinced that the treatment is safe and efficient.
Considering that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already allowed the immediate application of the Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program (CTAP), ignoring our safe and potentially life-saving therapeutic vaccine used as regular nasal drops would be inexcusable because the safe vaccine that has already been successfully tested for the treatment of other viral infections is safe and, therefore, could save lives of high risk patients in need.
This is a challenge, though, because corporations have immense resources, while the bureaucratic system disallows researchers such as Dr. Slavin to treat regular people.
All this needs to be shared with the world for it to learn about Slavin’s method as soon as possible. However, so far not a single Ministry of Health has shown any interest in the remedy. They may have too many proposals from other researchers. However, I’m inclined to believe that it is the system of bureaucratic delays that prevents it from being applied to patients. One has to cut through lots of red tape to get a license to use a new drug candidate. We need a strong-willed decision from the leader of a country that is independent of global corporations: Belarus, Russia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan. This is a challenge, though, because corporations have immense resources, while the bureaucratic system disallows researchers such as Dr. Slavin to treat regular people.
Money can save no one, and our pursuit of wealth is a huge mistake.
I do hope that people will not forget this lesson that has been taught to us by the Almighty, who reminds us, from time to time, that no matter how much we want it, we are not the masters of the world and Earth. The virus, a miniature combat unit, has defeated those who believed they were the rulers of the world. Everyone gets sick – billionaires, prime ministers, the prince of Monaco and the press secretary of the president of the Russian Federation. Money can save no one, and our pursuit of wealth is a huge mistake. Success and recognition, Instagram and Twitter, which promote narcissism, entail harmful consequences and never serve the good cause. Across the globe, from Sao Paulo to Mumbai to Monaco, we see the difference between rich and poor erased by the pandemic. This story must teach humankind to be guided by other values and to fundamentally change the world order and its attitude towards its health and the planet. It is our belief that being open-minded and relying on solid science should be carved on the flags of future progress.
