Clinic History and Goals.

Home.

Hello and welcome to our site, my name is Doug Mizzi and I run a very successful practice as a Professional Nutritionist specializing in helping to identify and manage Allergy and Environmental Aggravant's and associated health conditions. I am a currant member of the ATMS (Australian Traditional Medicine Society) and conduct many testing under referral from many Melbourne Medical Doctors and associated healthcare workers. 

Since 1990 when I started my Practice in Melbourne, Australia, I have personally conducted tests  for over  40,000 patients, for such symptom as:

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 | hay-fever | headaches |high protein-low carbohydrate| hives | IBS | migraines | nettle rash | oitis | PMT/PMS | gout | 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| urticaria | vague | wind, 

The clinics that I conduct testing 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.

So What is involved ??

Working with allergies and food related conditions is a hard thing to do, every one is so different, we all have such different lives and combinations that following anything that is written in a book can only be a compromise at best, this unfortunately for some is all that they have access to and so is better than doing nothing at all, but do they really have it right or is it just another experiment on the road to recovery. Visiting a professional who has a great understanding of many things and is able to work at several levels at once to effect a recovery saves you so much lost time and productivity, but finding these people is the battle. In recent times we were fortunate enough to move up to the Sunshine coast in Mooloolaba a beautiful part of the world and set up a base to service the northern suburbs of Brisbane and the whole Sunshine Coast, but so distraught were our referring medical practitioners and clients that we were leaving Melbourne after 15 years, we decided to effect a plan to suit everyone. We now live and work 3 weeks of the month in Queensland and work 1 week of every month in Melbourne, giving us the opportunity to service and look after our established clientele as well as offering a service to a whole new clientele in  Queensland.  However as much as we cannot look after everyone we do try. For cases outside these two metropolitan areas under special consideration we can under take an extensive phone call consultation which based on at least 15 years experience and 40,000 patient testings gives us the ability to identify as close as possible based on practical knowledge and treatments with great accuracy areas of likely aggravation and then place into progress a recovery program.

The process of testing is quite simple and falls into several defined catagories.

 

Patients History

A detailed Patient History is taken from a chart, this gives us most of the information to know where we need to conduct our testing and is fundamental to a smooth and efficient consultation. Every investigative medical doctor and  healthcare provider works with forms and charts such as these to try and understand the life history of the conditions. Click here

Recovery Programs

Recovery Programs are all all based on our findings, combined with experience in the field in treating such conditions. These would include lifestyle changes and avoidance of allergens in addition to a suitable immune rehabilitation protocol. Everything from here on is customized to the clients specific requirements.

 

Re Evaluation and Monitoring

I tell my patients that I have worked a lifetime in this field, understanding the relationship between foods, allergens and reactions, that's what I do, The patients job is not to develop that type of experience but to learn what what is applicable to them and only them, believe me that can be enough. In order that they develop a full understanding of their condition and be able to effectively be in charge of their own health without relying on the crutch of a practitioners experience, we encourage for more complicated cases a monitoring process where we will re evaluate their ongoing progress for a few months to ensure that they are doing the right thing and have a proper grasp and understanding of their condition. We call this team work where I will navigate and the patient drives, taking instructions carefully where unforeseen or difficult issues arise that may throw the recovery off course if not attended to quickly. This normally only lasts for 3-4 months by which time the patient is confident enough to look forward to issues that may affect their condition.

The system that we use at the practice is an MSA-21 bio-dermal screening procedure used by Medical Doctors and Healthcare professionals all over the world.
