THE PROFESSIONAL APPROACH TO NATUROPATHY
When you visit a naturopath like myself you are seeing a professional with extensive experience. In my case, professional means qualified having one medical university degree, two college diplomas, and a number of post graduate qualifications in the field of complementary medicine; and experienced means having worked full time as a clinical naturopath for several years since graduating and consulted several thousand clients for a wide variety of conditions. The importance of my clinical experience cannot be overstated in terms of my ability to treat your specific complaints and deliver you the results you are looking for.
When you visit me, you will receive a thorough health appraisal through me obtaining a case history and utilising appropriate naturopathic analysis such as:- Live Blood Microscopy
- Iridology
- Tounge and Nail Analysis
- Pathology Testing
- Blood Typing
- Urine Analysis
What all this means is that you are much more likely to have the cause of your problem pinpointed and dealt with in a timely manner so that you don't waste time and energy on treatments that don't produce results. It also means that you are much more likely to receive the best in treatments for your health needs or problems. This means the best results in terms of how quickly you get better and how deeply you heal. Of course this equates to you being able to enjoy your life much more and much sooner.
WEIGHT LOSS
Being even a bit overweight can adversely affect your health requiring you to take medications as you age.
However Australians are gaining weight at a rate that has never been seen before. There are 100 000 new cases of type 2 diabetes ( a condition associated with weight gain around the waist ) each year in Australia, which is the equivalent of the size of a small city. Also about 32%, or one third of adult Australians suffer from "metabolic syndrome" which dramatically increases risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes type 2, several forms of cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.
The common underlying cause of both type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome is "insulin resistance" which is a metabolic disorder where the muscle and liver cells are less able to use glucose for energy leading to fat storage around the waist as well as having less energy and some serious changes to body chemistry. Insulin resistance and the associated disease risk is strongly linked to waist circumference. The relevance of this is that waist circumference is a major controllable risk factor behind all these diseases and that prevention now is far better than trying to reverse damage done to body systems later.
The good news is that my naturopathic system can address this problem at its root cause reversing insulin resistance through diet, lifestyle, and supplementation leading to loss of fat, increase in energy, positive changes in biochemistry and dramatic decrease in risk for several major diseases.
The system I have developed which is based on medical trials as well as my own clinical experience has proven to be very effective at addressing fat loss and restoring body chemistry (fasting glucose, cholesterol levels, and triglycerides) leading to improvement in life quality and probable lifespan. Even if you think you do not need to lose weight I would recommend addressing any increase in waist circumference. I would be happy to share with you this advanced system which has proven to be consistently effective with thousands of clients. I consider myself to be a specialist in fat loss offering the best in both the short and long term and am passionate about helping people in this very important area of health.
IRIDOLOGY
Iridology enhances our ability to visualize and understand our inner world. Iridology is also a pathway to transformation as it transforms the way we feel about our bodies. When you consult a trained iridologist like myself, you are shown your strengths and weaknesses and given an understanding of your consitutional type. Therapy can then be given to treat the underlying cause of your condition or ill health. Early signs of disease can be treated before manifestation of more entrenched disease sets in.
The foundation level of treatment should activate all the eliminative channels (bowel, lymph, skin, lungs, and kidneys) so that toxins, acids, chemicals and inorganics can leave the body without creating a strong healing crisis. This should be done together with constitutional treatment to strengthen any weak systems or organs, supporting your body until it reaches a healthy state. Then your body's inherent vitality and power will overcome disease. Once you have undergone a course of treatment, you develop a greater independence and the knowledge gained through constitutional understanding allows you to better look after yourself.
HEMAVIEW LIVE BLOOD ANALYSIS
Hemaview is a form of live blood analysis that helps me to identify and treat your health problems faster and better than ever before. Using only one or two drops of blood taken from your finger and placed under a dark field microscope, I am able to observe size, shape and structure of red cells, white cells and platelets as well as phenomena within the plasma.
This scientific method of analysis allows me to identify and demonstrate to you indications of nutritional deficiencies, organ/system dysfunctions, certain biochemical imbalances, and immune system imbalances which can greatly help in addressing your health needs. It also allows me to monitor your progress and show you the changes taking place as therapy progresses. One of the advantages of this scientific method of analysis is that the results are immediate and sensitive allowing me to develop effective treatment protocols tailor-made to your particular condition(s).
MUSCULOSKELETAL THERAPY
By using a combination of leading therapies ( soft tissue mobilisation, structural balancing, trigger point therapy, myofascial release therapy, and biomesotherapy) most conditions are effectively treated allowing people to speedily return to pain free living.
Conditions commonly treated include:- back and neck pain
- headaches and migraines
- shoulder pain
- scoliosis
- tennis elbow
- knee pain
- carpal tunnel syndrome
TESTIMONIALS
HORMONAL IMBALANCE, TIREDNESS AND FOOD INTOLERANCE
I came to see Robert Mascali for my menstrual cycle issues, tiredness and food intolerances. At that time I was experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding with severe menstrual cramping pain every three weeks and constantly suffering from PMT. With his prescribed herbs and other supplements, my menstrual issues quickly resolved so that I had a normal 28 day cycle with light to normal bleeding and no pain. In addition my energy and mood improved greatly. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone for similar complaints. Tammy Robinson

My Ross River Virus is now clear as confirmed by follow up pathology blood tests, menopausal symptoms subsided, osteoarthritis has made a very great improvement. My energy levels have increased, mobility and flexibility improved, cardiovascular strength improved, general well being improved." Mrs Fay Brown
MIDDLE AGED LADY WITH SEVERE ARTHRITS
Prior to coming to see me after seeing a number of medical specialists who were initially unable to determine the cause for her condition eventually diagnosed her. She says "by the time I was diagnosed I was ready for a wheel chair..... with the help from his prescribed diet and medications have shown a steady improvement until now I present with no pain in joints (free and movement very good). I am able to partake in day to day activities and am very thankful to have been referred to him by my physiotherapist."
CHILD SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC ASTHMA, HAYFEVER, AND FREQUENT INFECTIONS
Her mother says "Finally my daughter is well and enjoying a normal childhood after suffering from chronic hayfever asthma and frequent infections which required excessive prescribed medications (oral corticosteroids, antibiotics, and inhalers). After trying various natural therapies to no avail, naturopath Robert Mascali has fixed my daughters problems so that she has not had any problems since seeing him about six months ago." Enya Neskovic (Yeronga)
LADY WITH IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME AND ECZEMA
"In 1990, I was diagnosed by my specialist with irritable bowel syndrome. Since that time my health deteriorated and I believe my ill health was related to my digestion. I felt tired, lethargic and unwell. By 1994 I developed eczema which was unrelenting. After trying many things, I went to naturopath Robert Mascali in 2004. Robert was able to treat my irritable bowel syndrome and eczema with excellent results. My energy and sense of well being have restored and I feel wonderful." Mrs Morrelle Postle
MAN WITH CHRONIC DEBILITATING BACK PAIN
"I had suffered from lower back pain for approximately 20 years which was worsening with time and eventually referred pain into my right leg. My condition was debilitating and making it difficult to work, affecting sleep, I even struggled to walk. I tried years of chiropractic, bowen therapy, massage and finally 12 months of acupuncture. All these therapies proved to have little impact on my condition except to offer a little temporary relief. I had booked into a specialist and even contemplated surgery when I was referred to naturopath Robert Mascali. His treatments gave me progressive relief from pain until I was free of pain and able to return to a full life. It is now some months since completing therapy and I am still free of pain and enjoying a full life thanks to Robert Mascali." Mr Ross Chicken
BUSINESSMAN LOST 28 KG AND STILL LOSING WEIGHT
"Over a period of 14 months I have lost 28kg on the diet recommended by Robert Mascali. The majority of this weight was lost over 8 months. The past 6 months have been slower due to business and private functions occuring 2 to 3 times per week. The diet has allowed me to maintain and still slowly reduce my weight.
I have found the diet easy to stick to and not felt hungry. Even going out, there is always something to generally fit the diet.
My experience has been rewarding and enjoyable and I will continue the program until my goal of losing another 15 kg is achieved." Mr Bruce Roberts
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
I was suffering from severe arthritic pain all over my body, from fingers through my wrists, arms, neck, knees, ankles and feet. I was in so much pain that I could not sleep despite being on pain killers. My blood tests at that time revealed I had rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid factor of 160 - normal range 0 to 14).
Within days of my first visit to Naturopath Robert Mascali, my pain was subsiding and I was able to sleep at night. It is now just four weeks since my first visit to him and my pain is almost gone and I am free of drugs.
I would highly recommend him to anyone suffering from this condition. Mrs Nella Cannavo
DAUGHTER'S HEALTH RESTORED IN DAYS
For the last two years, my now four year old daughter has suffered terribly from a swollen, itchy and watery eye disorder. After trying every antihistamine with no success, I resorted to giving her phenerghan which gave her some relief. I took my daughter to see Robert Mascali and within days of treatment her condition disappeared. In addition her whole attitude to everything has improved dramatically and her frequent temper tantrums have ceased.
Mrs Robinson
MAN WITH BONE ON BONE ARTHRITIS IN KNEE RESPONDS TO BIOMESOTHERAPY AND NATUROPATHY COMBINATION
I have found since seeing Robert for only 3 sessions so far the pain in my left knee (which was diagnosed by doctors as bone on bone) has improved dramatically. I can walk a lot easier and don't have the constant throbbing I had previously. Rod Daniel 16/11/2007
LADY LOST 35 KG AND NEVER FELT BETTER
In April 2007, I had to see an eye specialist and he advised me that I had to lose a lot of weight otherwise I would go blind. He told me I had a swollen optic nerve and hemorrhage in the left eye.
I had constant migraines, bad headaches and dizziness. I also had lower back pain, terrible foot and knee pain, I was unable to walk. My feet were always burning and so swollen that I could not wear shoes. I also had fluid build-up on my stomach. I was anxious and irritable all the time.
I was referred to Robert Mascali who was able to help me. I have never felt better. To this day, I have lost 35kgs and I am still losing weight. I now have so much energy, I am able to work all day in my Cafe, at Upper Mt Gravatt, free from all the pain which I once had. I feel really great.
Thanks Robert

LADY FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO LOSE WEIGHT LOST 30 KG
I came to see Robert to lose weight as I was finding it difficult to loose weight by myself.
With the help of Robert's prescribed fat burning diet and medicines I was able to go from 90 kg to 60 kg over a period of eight months.
In addition, I have experienced dramatic improvement in a number of health disorders, such as insomnia, restless legs, burning feet, abdominal bloating, sinus and irritability.
I also feel a big improvement in my energy levels and feeling of well being.

PROFESSIONAL TENNIS PLAYER IMPROVES IMMUNE SYSTEM AND PERFORMANCE
"My name is Leon Frost and I am a professional tennis player. I was going through a period of 6 months of basically catching any virus, flu or infection that was going around, which was really limiting my on court performance and training. I went to my doctor and took some blood tests and found in his eyes I was within the normal parameters. But I still kept getting sick so with the advice of my coach I went to see a Naturopath.
With the help of Robert Mascali, I was able to boost my immune system to a level where I haven't been sick for 8 months. My energy levels have really improved and athletic performance has also been enhanced, enabling me to train and perform at a higher level. I would recommend to anyone with similar problems to see Robert as I found it very beneficial." Leon Frost (02/10/08)
