I enjoyed reading your post and learned a great deal from your insights. I found it interesting that you sound so healthy and have done so much in your life, but still have a lot to experience and learn about life. I like you. There are already too many "know it alls" in this world. A true leader is ALWAYS learning.
Your flu-like symptoms sound very much like toxins being released, so just roll with it and learn.
One question.....You say you are 10_stone in weight? What does that mean in pounds? (I am just an American from the deep south and we measure everything in pounds, so forgive my ignorance.)
Stay on your journey and keep these wonderful posts coming.)
