Guy Spiro: I usually like to start out by asking people to briefly give us the nut shell version of how you came to be who you are. How did all this start and what steps did you go through?
Bradley Nelson: When I was about fourteen years old, I was diagnosed with kidney disease. There was no medical treatment available for me at the time and so my parents decided to try an alternative treatment. They took me to get chiropractic care, and it worked. I could tell that it was working and within a few weeks, my pains were less frequent and severe. Within about a month, I was feeling fine. I was cured and I knew in my heart that whatever it was that these people had done had helped me. That's when I decided what I wanted to be and do with my life. I graduated from chiropractic school in 1988 and practiced for seventeen years as a holistic chiropractic physician.
During the last ten years of my practice, I was working with the most difficult cases. People suffering from chronic conditions were considered incurable by western medicine, things like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus and even cancer patients. I found that the single biggest common denominator was the emotional events that these people had been
through and which were still with them in some mysterious way. Those emotional events had exerted some kind of imbalancing influence on their bodies. My mission became to figure out what this was really about and what was really going on, how were people being affected by their emotional baggage. The time I spent trying to figure all this out is what we have now as the Emotion Code, which is this method of finding this emotional baggage and getting rid of it. Of course, it's also the book The Emotion Code. The Emotion Code is a very simple, easy and rapid way to find these emotional energies in the body and get rid of them.
To understand how our emotions can affect us in such dramatic ways, you first have to understand a little bit about the body. If you look at your hand, it looks familiar to you, you've seen that hand before, but if you magnify your hand 100 times, it doesn't look familiar anymore at all. If you magnify the hand about 850,000 times you see the strands of DNA and the molecules that make up the hand. If you zoom in to a million times magnification, you see the individual atoms. Then if you look inside of an atom you see there's really nothing in there except empty space and infinitesimally small energies that are flitting around at the speed of light. That's what we are, beings of pure energy.
