Dr. Farokh Master, over a period of years, has been known to develop treatment for many acute and chronic neurological illnesses especially in the field of cerebrovascular accidents like cerebral thrombosis, infarcts, embolism and subarachnoid haemorrhage.

In terminal cases of cancer and in the treatment of various complications of malignancy, Dr. Master has pioneered the use of Iscador therapy with homoeopathy, leading to pain relief, reducing haemorrhage and increasing the periods of remission.

Dr. Master is the originator of many recent new approaches and insights in homoeopathy. Although these ideas can often be very helpful to find the correct remedy in certain cases, he underlines the fact that, to have success, no one can do without a thorough understanding of traditional homeopathic philosophy and an extensive materia medica study.
