Globally renowned homeopathic physician, academician and researcher, Dr. Farokh Master, has been appointed to head the newly established Department of Homeopathy, titled the ‘Wellness Clinic’, at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre. His innovative protocols, combining homeopathy with Iscador therapy, have enhanced quality of life for patients with cancer and cerebrovascular conditions. (Dr. Master will be available at the Wellness Clinic weekly on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 3:00pm – 5:00pm.)

With a PhD in Cancer Management and commanding over forty-three years of experience, Dr. Master is a pioneer in integrating homoeopathy within allopathic institutions. Integrative cancer therapies combine conventional allopathic medicine with their more natural counterparts in order to improve effectiveness, reducing side effects, and improving quality of life.

Dr. Master is a gold medallist and the first in India to earn an MD in Homeopathy. With a teaching influence spanning over 40 countries, he continues to mentor students and practice classical homeopathy. Dedicated to social service, he provides free consultations at hospitals and community centres. His career reflects excellence in education, research, and patient care, inspiring homeopaths worldwide.

Cancer is widely feared, yet growing understanding shows it can be managed rather than viewed as an inevitable fatal condition. Conventional treatments focus on destroying cancer cells, but recurrence is common. Alternative and holistic approaches view cancer cells as a manifestation of deeper dysfunction, particularly a gradual failure of the immune system. Tumour development is often preceded by a long pre-tumour phase marked by declining immune surveillance, allowing abnormal cells to escape control and multiply.

According to Dr. Master, cancer reflects a breakdown of the body’s vital force, progressing from functional imbalance to structural disease. Genetic predisposition, family history and environmental stressors play a significant role in triggering illness, a phase described as diathesis. Awareness and avoidance of carcinogenic influences may delay disease onset.

Homeopathy, Dr. Master explains, treats the individual rather than the disease alone, aiming to reduce susceptibility and alleviate symptoms while supporting overall health. Treatment is personalised and may be used alongside conventional care.

For integrative cancer management, Dr. Master recommends Iscador therapy, derived from mistletoe (Viscum album), along with lifestyle, dietary and stress management. Iscador supports immune function, slows cancer cell growth, improves quality of life and is widely used globally as a complementary therapy with minimal side effects.
