My Profile

Douglas Mizzi runs several busy clinics as a professional nutritionist & healthcare provider specialising in helping to identify and treat Allergy and Environmental Irritant's and associated health conditions. A current member of the ATMS (Australian Traditional Medicine Society) many tests are conducted under referral by medical doctors from as far south as Tasmania to Victoria and Queensland since opening clinics in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Douglas still maintains regular monthly visits to Melbourne, servicing 5 suburbs covering all major suburban localities one week per month. In addition to this Douglas has several busy Brisbane and Sunshine Coast localities from which he runs his practice. Douglas services and conducts all testing and treatments personally. Make sure you drop us an email to identify a clinic close to you. Please be aware that there are very few clinic environments which specifically tend towards allergy assessment and treatments as their main recovery program. Always make sure you deal with a practitioner or clinic that specialises in this area as their main modality to assure a confident result.

Please note that although we specialise in WOMEN'S & CHILDREN'S HEALTH, we also deal with a large percentage of Male issues relating to allergies and general wellbeing.

Since 1990 Douglas has personally tested and treated thousands of clients of all ages for inflammatory, allergic and allergy related symptom such as those listed below.

Allergy Testing

The clinics that I conduct tests from and which I have set up practice at, have risen from strength to strength over the past years as a result of diligent testing and customized dietary management programs specifically suited to the patients requirements. We customize dietary programs to suit clients, we do not change clients to suit dietary programs. This point is fundamental to our success as so many food plans are set up out there to suit the general public, the trouble is that the general public varies so greatly in their requirements no single static set of rules will suit everyone.

The procedure utilises a fully computerised testing device, which has shown to be more effective than scratch and blood testing and matches closely to the results seen in a an elimination diet, albeit without the six months of hard work !!. For conditions that require medical observation and advice Douglas works with several great forward thinking medical doctors across Melbourne and SE QLD, that have a keen understanding and interest in nutrition, allergies and complimentary medicine. This allows you if required to gain advice and tests that a normal GP may be unaware of. The testing procedure does not use needles, offers a high accuracy rate and is regarding as non invasive, 100% safe and suitable for all ages.

The system that we use at the practice is an MSA-PRO bio-dermal screening procedure used by Medical Doctors and Healthcare professionals all over the world. The following link is a promotional training and sales video for the MSA Pro which is what we use in our clinic. Although the clip talks about points testing for overall health evaluation, it shows the level of medical involvement with this technology. Sensitivity testing and allergy testing is another major area for which this system specialises in. We generally undertake an evaluation in addition to the sensitivity test as shown in the clip if required, as determined in the consultation. However the Allergy Test is always performed in the first consultation with a full report and recovery program initiated to allow for a rapid recovery response.

Women's Health

Women's health issues are a huge and diverse array of symptoms and conditions covering all three areas of primary health, Mind Body and Spirit. Like all things they need to be in balance. It is interesting the importance that as women you place on recovery, health and wellbeing. What we find more than anything with female clients is how little attention has been paid to understanding and analysing their diets, stress, trauma recovery and lifestyle. All too often we find that there has been so much emphasis on symptom recovery and management, that as soon as these modalities are stopped, the original symptoms return. By paying attention to detail with understanding the immune system and the effects that dietary and environmental toxicity has on female health, many of the significant and common causes for visiting alternative practitioners are eliminated. Every time I have a patient that tells me they have been diagnosed with breast cancer or some auto immune condition, the first response that I have is "No one develops this condition without first being under immense stress and trauma - causing a breakdown in the immune response, therefore leading to the condition". If you want to fix the problem repair the damage and offset the stress. This can be significantly more effective once a correct dietary evaluation has been made. 75% of my clientele are women, 20% are children (nearly always accompanied by women) with a mere 5% accounting for a few switched on Men. Everything from Poly cystic ovaries, candida to breast cancer and auto immune conditions can be helped with identifying specific inflammatory and allergy responses associated with food and environmental toxicity. Make the right choice and start with what goes in, after all we are what we eat.

Children's Health

We are very experienced in children's health relating to allergies, and hypersensitivity. We approach infants and toddlers slightly differently to children over 2-3 years of age. We understand that children are different to adults and present with different problems that may not always be so common in mature age clients. Years of experience in this field has led us to confidently deal with children as young as 6-8 months. We always take control of the consultation in such a fashion that the child feels comfortable and safe. However some kids always seem to test mum, especially at sleep times, in these cases we normally conduct the test in as quick a fashion as we can, never however at the expense of accuracy. Although the test does not hurt, some kids do not like to be kept still for too long or just have a fear of offices. We might in this case put on a cartoon show for the kids and in 95% of cases this will again settle them down. In the odd case that we have a constant crier, with the parents permission we will just continue through. Parents may ask "does the crying affect my concentration ?", the answer is no. I understand the importance of your time and the importance of getting the test done and that's what we do, staying focused until the test is finished. I speak to other practitioners about this and they generally conclude that they often won't take on toddlers as clients due to the stress of crying children. We work with many types of children's problems. A list of the symptoms that we often treat, which respond successfully to treatment include

Tummy aches, Diarrhoea and Constipation.

Weight-loss

Working with weight loss can often be a hard goal to achieve.

For years we have been unhappy with the quality of program around until now. Finally we have found an eating plan for weight loss and management that follows off the back of our allergy program. You see after 15 years and tens of thousands of clients we noticed constantly that those over weight patients who were never able to lose weight lost it. Why ??, the answer was simple, we finally had produced a foundation of health so solid that they were able to work from it and after they had fixed up their allergies, repaired their gut function, initiated a correct liver detox and embarked on a correct eating plan, they were now able to be slowly eased into a weight management program. The problem was however that up until now we were unhappy with many of the programs on the market as they were either still loaded with sugars, consisted of no fibre or carbs which led to carbohydrate addiction, or that they relied on toxic shakes, meal replacements or weight loss supplements that had high doses of caffeine in them. We now support a lifestyle eating plan which we implement only after we have achieved these fundamental foundations in health. It allows us to follow a fair and achievable low GI eating plan based on the clients original anti allergy program. A truly customised program designed to suit you and only you.

Choosing a Clinic

It is most important when making a decision about receiving advice regarding allergies and partaking in a testing procedure, that you visit a clinic that does this as their main modality. The experience in testing and achieving the correct results can have some affect depending on how the technician operates the equipment. Much like a dentist as experience increases the use of their tools become an extension of their hands. Using super sensitive equipment such as used in our clinics can have slightly differing results if the technician is not experienced in taking skin resistance readings. These may include not taking into account the moisture levels of the skin being tested (usually the fingers), not taking into account perhaps the age of the clients skin and condition of the skin, even whether the client is wearing hand cream. An experienced technician will take all these items and more into account to attain reproducible and accurate results time after time, patient after patient. In addition to the testing results, professional and easy to understand instructions need to be incorporated along with a practical and realistic approach to immune support and recovery. Any practice which purely does a test and does not offer any other advice regarding recovery (including hospitals and medical clinics) may not be offering the patient the best possible chances of recovery. When looking at choosing a practitioner to help you with allergy treatment and recovery always make sure that they incorporate these simple procedures and that they are extremely experienced in treating both many clients (thousands are better than a few hundred) and that they have treated a wide variety of symptoms and are able to treat several major health conditions at once. ie maybe Hives + Candida + Diabetes + Hayfever etc . This is important as it shows practitioner competence and experience. We have built our practice on these very foundations of experience, attention to detail and modern computerised testing facilities

Allergies

What is an ALLERGY ?

An allergy  is the symptoms caused by an over-reactive immune system. The allergy takes its name from the tissue the inflammation takes place in, due to the excessive histamine released to help combat the allergen. The name we most usually relate to being an allergy shows up as inflamed tissue in different parts of the body. e.g.. ECZEMA inflammation of the skin, ASTHMA inflammation of the windpipe, HAYFEVER inflammation of the nose, eyes, sinus, etc., ARTHRITIS possible histamine causing inflammation of the joints, Other classic allergy symptoms could also include headaches, (incl. migraine). conjunctivitis, gastro-intestinal, overweight, hyperactivity, tiredness, dermatitis, (also acne and boils) etc. to name only a few of the many possible allergy related symptoms.-

Today as we live in a more Health conscious world, how can we be sure that the foods we are eating and the air we are breathing are not poisoning our bodies. Our bodies see allergies as threats to our systems and are treated in the same way as a nasty bacteria or virus. Even though we assume the foods we are eating are good for us, they could be the root to all our problems and ill health.

It is not always necessary to live a life  of Anti-histamines and  Cortisone drugs with their  possible problems and associated side effects. These drugs can tend to suppress  the problem , they do not necessarily cure it. Which only means the problem can reappear at another time. By following a healthier way of living,  eliminating as much as possible the foods,  pollens, grains, moulds, chemicals etc. that may be causing an allergic reaction, we can possibly eliminate the symptoms or at least alleviate a lot of the discomfort.

It should be noted that once the body has been cleared of the offending allergens, and has had  time to rebuild itself, the food which once caused a reaction can often be eaten again without any ill-effects (always in moderation of course!!) 

Some of the common conditions that we deal with successfully include but are not limited to.

• Acne, Anaphylaxis, Asthma, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.

• Athletes Foot, Bedwetting

• Bloating, Bread Cravings, Candida, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CFS, Colitis & Crohn's.

• Dizzy, Eczema, Foggy-Head, Gas, General Fatigue, Glue Ear, Gout

• Hay-Fever, Headaches, High Protein-Low Carbohydrate, Hives

• IBS, Migraines, Nettle Rash, Oitis, PMT/PMS, Osteo Arthritis

• Poor Memory/Concentration, Post Viral Syndrome, Psoriasis

• Recurrent Colds, Flu & Infections, Reflux, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Rhinitis

• Sinus, Sugar Cravings, Tinea, Tinitis, Tiredness, Tonsillitis, Tinea Versicolor, Thrush

• Urinesis (bedwetting), Urticaria, Vague, Wind.

Candida

What is it ?

A  candida problem is basically a fungal overgrowth, that grows generally in the digestive system. It most commonly inhabits the Bowel area, where it feeds and grows on certain food matter which has not been properly  digested previously in the system.

Candida is very, very common in today's society, where it can flourish on an over abundance of processed sugars, yeasts, alcohols etc. However, it may have started  due problems other than a poor, over  - refined diet.

An example  of some of the other major contributors may be seen here below.

•  Use of the PILL.

•  Anti-biotic, or other Immune suppressive drugs such as Cortisone's or steroids etc.

•  Weak immune system possibly due to viral  infections etc.        

• Over stress, either physical or emotional.

•  Poor diet.

• Allergies 

If  you come under one or more of the above categories than you may have a  high chance of suffering the symptoms of  CANDIDA .  The  above list however, is not exhaustive and other situations may have promoted a problem. These can be looked into by us in great detail.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF CANDIDA  ?

Contrary to popular belief, even though you may not suffer thrush, a candida problem may be evident. The signs of Candida are many and varied, and it is this apparent variation in the symptoms, that seem to have no relation to each other, that can often  show signs of a candida problem. The tell-tell signs to look out for are usually a combination of the following... 

• Bellyaches, Tummy-aches, Constipation, Diarrhoea, 

• Abdominal bloating, Reflux, Gas & Wind

• Anxiety, Depression, Irritable,  Mood Swings, 

• Tiredness,  Lethargy,  Run-down, 

• Thrush & Fungal infections such as Tinea   etc.  

• Lack of concentration,  Vagueness,  Spots before eyes,  Ringing in ears, 

• Sugar/Bread, Alcohol & Junk Food Cravings, 

• Headaches & Muscle Pain

Some of these above symptoms may also be aggravated through allergic reactions to certain foods.

Once the diet has been  maintained  properly for the set period of time the recovery  is quite outstanding , with a full recovery usually not far away.

 Candida self assessment     

The first step to finding out which products could possibly be affecting you would be an allergy/intolerance test. The use of  a  BIO-DERMAL SCREENING ALLERGY TEST which is a fully computerised established testing system produced by Biomeridian used by both medical practitioners and naturopaths throughout the world. Testing for different Foods, Chemicals, Pollens, Moulds, etc.  an overall picture can be seen of what to avoid, in order, that a healthier outlook  can be maintained.

* Although we do not use drugs in our treatment protocols, do not stop any drugs that will have an impact on your symptoms management without discussing the effects with your doctor.
