    The efficacy of a 2-month treatment with oral colostrum in the prevention of flu episodes compared with antiinfluenza vaccination was evaluated. Groups included healthy subjects without prophylaxis and those receiving both vaccination and colostrum. After 3 months of follow-up, the number of days with flu was 3 times higher in the non-colostrum subjects. The colostrum group had 13 episodes versus 14 in the colostrum + vaccination group, 41 in the group without prophylaxis, and 57 in nontreated subjects. Part 2 of the study had a similar protocol with 65 very high-risk cardiovascular subjects, all of whom had prophylaxis. The incidence of complications and hospital admission was higher in the group that received only a vaccination compared with the colostrum groups. Colostrum, both in healthy subjects and high-risk cardiovascular patients, is at least 3 times more effective than vaccination to prevent flu and is very cost-effective

    Obligate intracellular microorganism in the form of Elementary bodies, Chlamydia trachomatis, in the extracellular environment surrounds itself with a mantle, like Zorro and can adapt in a balanced activity as in a niche, letting the cells survive but determin- ing multisite and long-lasting subclinical forms, causing inflammatory pathologies that go beyond the trachoma itself to one way of Inflammaging. This means alerting the medical doctor to verify signs or consequences typical of C. trachomatis infection such as tri- chiasis, corneal ulcer and trachomatous scar, spontaneous abortion, inflammatory pelvic disease, infertility and cervical cancer, also paying attention to the correlation with ocular lymphomas, the rare oropharyngeal disease also supported by Neisseria gonorrheae and introducing the need to control patients also for sexual attitude. This suggests the opportunity to add an S. (Sexual Behaviour) to the S.A.F.E. strategy prescribed by The WHO to combat Trachom
