    This is quite a common scam with pills and potions advertised on the internet. Normally they offer a free sample to try without obligation but charge a small amount for P&P. This way they get your credit card details. In the teeny tiny print you will be agreeing to take out a monthly subscription for the product unless you cancel within 7 days. In the teeny tiny print they will write "seventy five pounds" rather than "£75", so if you're just quickly scanning the terms you won't notice any money is involved. The problem is these companies go awol when you try to cancel, and because you accepted the terms its then your word against their's about whether you cancelled or not. I believe some people have found that cancelling their credit card has been the only way to stop it. Unfortunately some of these companies have very prominent banner advertising, including ebay and the like, so 100's of people must be getting scammed.

    I assume you signed up from one of these sites, there are dozens of them.

    Nothing, But theres nothing like the feeling of having your pipes cleaned out thoroughly; a lot of goo gets stuck. I used to use water enemas many, many years ago but ca't be bothered now.

    Just have a good curry.
