"...felt invaded by poisoning toxins" is a psychiatric

These are just the sort of vague complaints that are classic
for somatization syndrome. Please don't jump onto the
defensive; I am not calling you crazy or being
unsympathetic. SS is an illness as much as pneumonia, and is
a tragic one, because it is difficult to treat.

Yes, it's strange.

Quitting smoking is the best thing you have ever done for

You would have felt better all over from a witch doctor
shaking a rattle at you if you believed in him.
Coleah, your problems were never from "poisons" in your
colon. Colons do not need "cleansing." There are colon
diseases, of course, but they are all made worse, not better
by purging. Almost none of them are caused by "poisons." The
only exceptions I can think of are cholera, which is an
infection in which the worst of the symptoms are caused by a
toxin released by the infectious bacteria, and the many
plant substances that are purgative. Nothing stays in your
colon day-to-day to poison you, and nothing that poisons you
can be washed out by a "cleanse."
