Wow, Ken - what a story! I'm so sorry for all the painful experiences you've endured. But yay for healing!! I, too, had terrible health in the past, including a significant heart problem beginning in my 30s with no risk factors. I got rid of it, and other more minor but painful or somewhat debilitating ailments, plus I discovered a natural ability for energy healing, and like you, I've experienced some remarkable things working with others in the many years since then.
I don't know about you, but I like to believe that the point of all the suffering we've experienced was so that we could eventually help/heal others.
Thanks so much for sharing your inspiring story.
