He is a senior lecturer, examiner and past board member for the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine and a past-examiner for the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine. A long personal battle with illness led him on a profound exploration of healing processes and the prevention of illness.

Dr Emerson is Australias leading and most experienced medical live blood microscopist.

He has been a student of acupuncture since 1990 and spent a year working alongside a Professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine to better understand the Eastern Medicine approach to disease and traditional Chinese herbs. He has also attended courses in the US with Ron Teeguarden on the use of Chinese herbs, David Wolfe on raw food nutrition and Daniel Vitalis on herbal elixirs. He is an advanced NAET practitioner and as far as he is aware, Australias only medical doctor doing Acupuncture Meridian Assessment (AMA). AMA uses a highly sophisticated equipment to assess the energy flow in the bodies acupuncture meridians. By doing so, blockages and the reasons for those blockages can be determined and corrected. As a result he offers a rare ability to approach health and wellness from both a highly trained Western and Eastern medical perspective.

In 1997 he published the Western world’s largest epidemiological research paper on pesticide poisoning and has written extensively in the medical literature on carbon monoxide poisoning and diving medicine. He is the author of the chapter on decompression illness in the prestigious Textbook of Adult Emergency Medicine. In 2008 he co-authored a research paper on the use of intravenous magnesium in cardiac arrythmias which was published in the journal Academic Emergency Medicine.

Dr Emerson played professional basketball for five years. He is a certified PADI dive instructor and an NLP trainer. On a personal note he is a passionate student of Latin dance, a lover of Kundalini yoga, a keen traveller and an enthusiastic skiier. He lives on the 5 acre Rancho del Reishi in the Gold Coast hinterland of Australia. A deep connection with the land finds him progressively developing a small oasis of permacuture with the goal to grow and find 75% of his own food and natural spring water.

He believes in the intrinsic ability of the body to heal itself if the underlying cause of the illness is addressed. His practice revolves around identifying the sub-clinical defects common to all degenerative diseases and then using his unique 8 point INSIGHTS programme to return the body to health.

Dr Emerson regularly lectures both within Australia and internationally on Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. He also runs his own successful international medical conference. His mission is to provide people with the knowledge, tools and motivation to live a life of extraordinary health, vitality and longevity.
