Testimonials
Allergies
Myra Nissen is a very qualified Homeopath. I know this because I have had multiple positive situations where her recommended protocol has resulted in healing. I have not only had relief from allergies, I have been educated.
I developed a subtle, annoying, and hard to describe, irritation in one of my ears. Although not critical, I knew something was not right. Talking to my MD, and others he passed me on to, was like talking to a wall. …Myra Nissen was able to think it through, it went away and hasn’t come back.
Anxitey
I want to give a big thank you to Myra. It was enjoyable working with her. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I had anxiety and panic in my chest and many PMS symptoms. She helped me fix the issue without side effects. I highly recommend Myra and her services to my family and friends.
I’m thrilled with the results I’m receiving from my journey with Homeopathy. I sleep better and have less anxiety. Thank you for all that you’ve done to assist me.
I just wanted to take this moment and say thank you for all the support you have given me over the years. You’ve always taken the time to carefully listen, understand the root cause and assign the remedies needed. They have been very helpful and I appreciate you and your knowledge on Homeopathy.
Asthma
Since Myra and I have been working together, I am free of all my medications. I no longer take statins, estrogen and asthma medication. Myra is very supportive in this process. She is always there when I need to talk.
I have chronic bronchial asthma. I was severely ill. I had digestion problems, I felt faint a lot and my lungs were below 30% of normal. Many trips to the doctor, emergency room, courses of Prednisone, breathing treatments and even a home nebulizer did not relieve my symptoms. I met Myra and began a homeopathy and gemmotherapy program. All these issues have been resolved! My lungs are up 60%. I feel good every day and many other issues are improving such as menopause symptoms. Before I started working with Myra, I didn’t have the energy to run my photography business. In less than 10 months, I will be able to attain my dream. Thank heaven I met Myra!
… I am so happy I met you and to be on this journey of wellness with you! Thank you for all your hard work on my behalf. I haven’t felt this good in 4 years! – D.F. (was suffering with asthma)
Better Sleep
Your sleep remedy is a God-send. My son went to sleep last night in 10 minutes. I sprayed it on his blanket that he holds all the time and placed the blanket on my shoulder. He leaned his head on my shoulder and held his blanket. Within 10 minutes, he was asleep on my shoulder. I waited until he was in a deep sleep and placed him into his crib. He’s been sleeping for over 10 hours now. Thank you!
Hurray for homeopathy! My 2-year old had started constitutional care about a month before he developed a cough while visiting his grandparents. To help him sleep better, they rubbed an mentholated over-the-counter medication on his chest. When he came home, he would cry VERY loudly and become frantic. This had previously been commonplace, but had disappeared after repeating his constitutional remedy. Seeing the return of these symptoms made me realize the amazing changes his remedy provided.
This is the best I ever felt ever since I was a teenager. I have lost weight (20p) my hair has grown longer (it stopped growing past my shoulders in the past 20 year) my energy is higher. I feel like I’ve gained myself back. I was not able to resolve my sleeping issue through the metabolic balance® program but Gemmotherapy (plant stem cells) you have picked for me is helping.Myra Nissen You are very easy to talk with. patient, detailed, compassionate, caring and highly professional I greatly appreciate what you have given me and enjoy working with you. I want to give you a personal thank you.
Children
We really appreciate you helping the boys. This time of year they are usually sick. Thanks again for everything!
Warm Regards,
As an acupuncturist and herbalist, I have often recommended Myra to clients. Myra is always able to find interesting aspects of a person’s illness or discomfort and apply the right formula for treatment. Whether it is dealing with a new-born’s croup or a fearful client, she has an answer for it!
Cystitis
I highly recommend Myra Nissen. My teenage daughter and I have been working with Myra since early 2006. After three potencies of one remedy, I am now free of urinary tract infections and tinnitus for the first time in years! I can now date and travel without worrying and even swim in lakes and pools.
A very knowledgeable healer, Myra is a good listener who goes the extra mile and has a very good network of mentors and fellows. I am very happy to have Myra Nissen on our team.
I sought Myra’s advice regarding a nagging health problem. Myra was thorough in her questioning of my past health and life experiences and dedicated in finding a solution. She followed up with me on a frequent basis and I am pleased to say this is the first time in many years I have not been bothered with the same health concern. I highly recommend Myra. (Diagnosis: Interstitial cystitis)
Depression
After 9 months of using homeopathy with Myra Nissen my depression is gone, my energy level is greatly improved, when stressed I cope effectively, and my social anxiety is gone. I am saving a lot of money as I no longer see a psychotherapist and I have dramatically reduced the amount of dietary supplements (that I use to take in a desperate attempt to feel better). with Myra gives ‘more bang for the buck’ than any treatment out there. It has changed my life.
Fears
…For several years I have been afraid of driving on freeways or over bridges. I now no longer have that fear. I had never been to a homeopath before and I did not know what to expect. The homeopathic process was easy to follow. All I did was take two doses of one homeopathic remedy and wait for the response. It came, it worked, I am driving on bridges and freeways with no troubles.
General Praise
I just want to say that Myra is the best! She helped me get thru my hot flashes. She came up with a couple of remedies and they worked. She is very caring. …Thank you again, Myra, you’re the best.
After meeting with Myra, I really started to believe that there might be a good chance of a cure. Her warm and comprehensive analysis was a nice change from the cattle call nature of my primary care physician.
…Myra is definitely at the top of her profession. She is thorough, conscientious, and always thinking about the best path for your personal well being.
…Myra’s dedication to educating people about homeopathy and recommending remedies that address both chronic and acute symptoms is second to none. Some of the conditions she is successful in treating include, allergies, hot flashes from menopause, anxiety, cold and flu, and other women’s health issues. I highly recommend working with Myra if you want an alternative to traditional medications in reaching your healthcare goals.
I am happy that you are my virtual friend; you supported me with empathy at that moment and gave me the power to find a good way for my health even here in Romania. I started the MB Program with a doctor here in Romania on March 23rd weighing 101 kilosat, 158 cm height. After 11 weeks I lost 12 kilos. I reduced my insulin in half (I have been diabetic for 15 years). I am full of energy and motivated in life. Thank you, again, for your good words. I wanted to share with your my happiness. Bye-bye!
I used Myra’s Detox Package. I shed 4.5 lbs. I have more energy and PMS is better. My entire family liked the food.
Thank you for the deep care that you provide so thoughtfully and heart-fully to our family. You are a source of safety and trust and we are grateful. (I have been providing care for this family since 2016.)
Gout
I have had gout for a number of years and have had not been able to eat a regular diet since my initial flare up. I went to several treatments with an eastern medicine doctor – with whom after three treatments, I was still not better. It wasn’t until I met Myra Nissen, that my outlook began to change.
In a nutshell, Myra Nissen resolved the gout, and did exactly what she said she would. I can eat and drink as I please. I now have my life back. I go to my primary care physician for emergencies, and see Myra when I am concerned about my health. She is priceless!
Hot Flashes
I told my hair stylist about you yesterday. She needs your “hot flash miracle.” Thanks so much for everything.
I want everyone to know how amazing the benefits of traditional homeopathy are. I have been working with Myra Nissen on a severe experience with hives that I’ve been having for months. After trying everything possible, I finally got relief from Myra and her homeopathic remedies. Miraculous! Thank you Myra for being such an incredible practitioner and being so available to me.
Since I have been on metabolic balance, my mind is clear, I am present and focused on what I am doing. My hot flashes are gone. I look great! My face looks younger, no dark circles. This is the first program where I have not lost weight on my face. I have lost 13 lbs. Myra, I commend you on your commentment to the program, you look exactly the same as you did when first I met you in 2011.
Improved Skin Conditions
I want everyone to know how amazing the benefits of traditional homeopathy are. I have been working with Myra Nissen on a severe experience with hives that I’ve been having for months. After trying everything possible, I finally got relief from Myra and her homeopathic remedies. Miraculous! Thank you Myra for being such an incredible practitioner and being so available to me.
My 5-year old son has been seeing Myra since he was 7 months old and I attribute his immune system strength to the fact that he has had constitutional care since he was a baby. I just began my 2 year old and one-year old on constitutional care and wish I had started earlier. Thank you Myra for my healthier and happier babies! (Diagnosis: Eczema)
I have allergies, skin problems, digestive issues, and felt fatigue. Now I am improving very well. Myra is a very patient and experienced homeopath, who listens well and knows how to use holistic approaches and/or guide you through with a healthy diet so let the foods be the best medicine. She always reminds me to listen to my body. I feel that I’m well balanced in terms of metabolism and mind set after seeing her.
My doctor almost jumped with joy when he saw my face. He told me that it all looks better than he expected it to look (I still have 2-4 months ahead, during which my skin will keep tightening ). I’m so glad I included this as part of my personal transformation/make-over .
Influenza
After taking the remedy prescribed by my homeopath, I was able to function at almost normal after being bedridden for 5 days!
Lyme Disease
The homeopathy has cleared the way for things to flow more easily. The help that I need is coming effortlessly. It is lifting barriers and difficulty of the pieces of puzzles coming together for wellbeing, health and life.
Men's Health
After meeting with Myra, I really started to believe that there might be a good chance of a cure. Her warm and comprehensive analysis was a nice change from the cattle call nature of my primary care physician.
…Myra is definitely at the top of her profession. She is thorough, conscientious, and always thinking about the best path for your personal well being.
You could put it down to a side effect of us all taking the metabolic balance® program. You know it makes us all kinder nicer people who become more appreciative of other peoples talents when we eat the right foods. I would just say you are an amazing, talented and compassionate woman who is passionate about her subject and cares a great deal about people and her clients.

Dear Dr._________,
Thank you for your past attendance to my medical needs but I have developed a relationship with Dr. Davis in the town of Winters. My homeopath, Myra Nissen, from the Bay Area, will start holding monthly visits at Health, Etc. and it seems like a logical thing for me to make the switch. Please don’t misunderstand. This is not dissatisfaction with your care but a desire to maintain my long-standing relationship with homeopathy.
You have been very responsive to my needs but I think this is the proper thing to for me to do.
Thank you.
I hate taking any medicine. With Myra’s instructions it was a no brainer and super easy to take.
I like my meal plan. It is easy to follow and fast. I can cook a meal in 10 minutes. I have lost 8 pounds so far and feel great! I have lots of energy.
(male, age 49, 4th week on the metabolic balance program)
I thought it would be tough to prepare lunch and dinner meals working a modified night shift (6PM to 2 AM). I found it fairly easy to keep it basic and feel like Ihad a satisfying meal to carry me through my shift. I have met my weight goal in just 5 weeks – 27lbs. (metabolic balance® individualized meal plan)
Night Terrors
My 8 year old son suffered for years from terrible night terrors and huge emotional outbursts that wracked our family every night. We tried herbs, acupuncture, spiritual healing, even a previous homeopath. We decided to give homeopathy a try again after a friend told me how fantastic Myra is. We were not disappointed. From the beginning, I felt like my son was being treated by a professional who knew exactly what she was doing. Myra listens deeply and deliberates thoroughly. She is a master at her craft. Her patience with my son’s process and unwavering assurance that the issue would be handled allowed me to allow the process to unfold. We are ecstatic with the results! Within 5 months, my son has NONE of the behaviors that we came to see Myra for. He is sleeping peacefully now. No more midnight rants. No more fearful bedtimes. No more outrageous screaming. He is so proud of himself and we are are relieved beyond what words can describe.
Overall Well-Being
I have been working with Myra Nissen going on two years. I am extremely selective about what alternative health care practitioners I work with due to my Christian convictions. Many alternative health care practitioners are involved in practices that would violate my Bible trained conscience, specifically the command to remain free from any uncanny, or spiritistic practices. Myra is a person of integrity and has always respected my beliefs. Myra does not rely on spirit guides, amulets, crystals or other objects in her work. Homeopathy is based on science similar to the concept of inoculation.
Whether for myself, or for members of my family, the knowledge has changed how I deal with illness. The power the body has to heal itself through homeopathic care is amazing.
Homeopathy was a new experience for me and I was blessed to discover Myra Nissen. It was easy to see that Myra has much knowledge on the values of the cures she prescribes. She was able to answer all of my questions with ease and the questions she asked during our session were very well thought out.
Myra is a caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable professional woman who truly cares for her clients. I have seen big improvement in my life during the past five months seeing her.

For years I experienced flu-type symptoms that prevented me from exercising. Now, I can dance with out feeling ill. Myra is extremely meticulous in her search for just the right remedy. More often than not it works. She is flexible in her approach depending on if you want to go for a cure or symptom alleviation. She takes great care in following up to monitor my progress in order to evaluate what the next step, if any, should be. Plus she is really fun to work with!
My health is much better, as is my emotional outlook. You helped me through a very difficult time, and I have always remembered the hope you gave to me. …I am truly grateful.
I just had the most incredible release where I could feel my child-self coming forward inside of me to be reintegrated and present. I could feel the innocence and purity, the tremendous love and trust that she has for everyone and all of life. Her joy! And I could feel myself skipping freely just filled with complete joy. I found myself wanting to hold the hura [homeopathic remedy] in my hand as I received her. So, I held the bottle in my left hand as I held my right hand on my heart. My tears became a mixture of joy and release simultaneously. What in incredible process! With thanks and love.
Just wanted to say that my daughter feels really good. All symptoms of illness are gone. And she remarked how she feels very happy and has lots of energy. Thanks for your help, Myra. We will still encourage her to rest.
(4th day of homeopathic care. Diagnosis: Acute Mononucleosis)
Dear Myra, I can’t thank you enough for all the care you have given me with the multiple deep healing situations I’ve been in this year. Your compassion and commitment to the well being of others goes beyond what most practitioners provide. The depth of your knowledge and your infinite thirst for more is admirable.
Myra Nissen is an amazing homeopath. I have been working with her for several months and I am amazed with the results. I had all but given up on homeopathy as I have been trying it on and off for years. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t and I never had any real luck with constitutional remedies at all. I went to see Myra and she gave me something to help with the death of my mom which helped instantaneously. It immediately took the edge off and I felt like was able to cope so much better. She also nailed my constitutional remedy. I had been struggling with anxiety and overwhelmed for years. I had a feeling of being frozen and stuck that has lessened dramatically since I’ve been taking the remedy. I am way less anxious and overwhelmed. My faith in homeopathy is restored!
Pain
I had pain and was not feeling right. I am glad to have Myra’s open mind as she looks at more than what a client sees. She detected a problem and she was right. I am greatly improved.
My recovery has been amazing with your knowledgeable assistance. Today is one week after the hip surgery. I was able to stand to shower, am ready to start using a cane soon, able to prepare simple meals for myself, go up and down a few stairs unassisted. I seldom needed pain medications.
Last year Amanda lost 70 pounds using her individualized Metabolic Balance plan and was able to get off her blood pressure meds. Now she is starting an update plan, here is what she noticed: “Shortly after I started my plan, my knee hurt. I had a cyst and arthritis. It was so painful that I lost my appetite. For 5 days I could only eat once a day. I knew that I should be following my plan. I started going back to have the 3 meals. I was surprised and grateful to find that soon after using my plan as directed the pain in my knee lessened and the swelling subsided.”
I’m more than grateful for your support and expertise! Healing is happening and with the remedies no swelling and bruising on my leg! Mostly no pain, a little stiffness upon rising.
(79 y.o. client had a total hip replacement)
PMS
I want to give a big thank you to Myra. It was enjoyable working with her. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I had anxiety and panic in my chest and many PMS symptoms. She helped me fix the issue without side effects. I highly recommend Myra and her services to my family and friends.
Overall it’s going very well. My cycles have improved. My energy level is better. I am no longer feeling exhausted, sleep or moody. I am sleeping better at night. The dandruff is gone too. Thank you for your help. (37 y/o mother not feelig well since her last child was born.)
Praise from Other Practitioners
I have known Myra for 5 years. I have always found her to be a caring and compassionate person. She is a person of integrity. She gives great attention to details. She takes her time in finding a remedy that helps her clients feel better. I highly recommend her to moms everywhere.
I’ve been getting your newsletters and absolutely love them!
I have had the pleasure of meeting Myra Nissen and talking about natural medicine and homeopathy. She has lectured at Touro University about Homeopathic Medicine and she was well received by our medical students. Myra is knowledgeable and well informed in her field.
As an acupuncturist and herbalist, I have often recommended Myra to clients. Myra is always able to find interesting aspects of a person’s illness or discomfort and apply the right formula for treatment. Whether it is dealing with a new-born’s croup or a fearful client, she has an answer for it!
Myra is a wonderful practitioner of Homeopathy that has worked with hundreds of people at Elephant Pharmacy and in her private practice. She is very knowledgeable and thorough in her work. She helps everyone from babies to seniors with their many health concerns.
Study Groups & Presentations
…I attended a talk Myra gave about Homeopathy last year. I entered the class knowing very little about the homeopathic process. The information I learned at the class has given me the knowledge I need to recognize symptoms and find the remedy that will work.
It was an absolute pleasure to listen to Myra’s presentation on allergies. She really knows what she’s talking about. I will be attending as many of her workshops as possible. I realized that there is so much to learn beyond my layman’s knowledge of homeopathy.
Myra, Your message on Tuesday feels like a much needed balm for a culture that places undue value on western medicine and drugs that can lead to scary side effects. Drawing on your (and other’s) wisdom and creating a circle for women and children to gather, share, and create feels essential in creating true community. Thank you for being apart of ours! I have so appreciated your insights and getting to know you. I am completely inspired to bring what I have learned from you into my own family and now I feel confident that I have the tools to do so successfully!
Thyroid
I have been coming to Myra since 2011 for thyroid – Hashimoto’s disease. My doctor wanted to put me on thyroid medication right away. He was convinced the Hashimoto’s disease in my body was so active that it would destroy thyroid function in a short period of time. I am so glad that I came to Myra because in 2 weeks of homeopathy & gemmotherapy not only has my thyroid function been restored but has been restored past the border line and is normal and this is the amazing thing. I am so glad that I chose homeopathy as a means for my healing and my husband is a medical doctor. (Client contacted me 5 years later, her thyroid still tests normal.)
I always tell people how you helped me with my thyroid many years ago. I never had to take traditional medication. And even to this day, it still tests normal. Thank you for your help.
(female, age 79)
Travel Medicine
I was recently on a business trip in Thailand and woke up early one morning feeling sick. Within minutes I was having a full-blown episode of the shakes, vomiting, diarrhea, and vertigo. I brought out my homeopathic first-aid kit, but I wasn’t sure which remedy to take. There were no descriptions, and I recognized only 2 of the 15 names. So I sent an urgent email to Myra. (I couldn’t remember how to make an international call.) Despite the 14-hour time difference, she was available and responded right away.
Over the next three days, Myra stayed in touch as I slowly recovered from what was probably a combination of food poisoning and a viral infection. She gave me practical advice, monitored my symptoms, suggested ways to detox, and overall provided compassionate support when I needed it the most. If you want to work with an expert who’s willing to go the extra mile – even thousands of miles! – to help her clients get well, call Myra.
(Before she left on her trip, I advised her of which remedies she take with her specialized to the area she was going. – Myra Nissen)






Myra with Metabolic Balance not only helped me reach my goal weight but also taught me which foods truly support my health. Having Crohn’s disease, I’ve struggled for years with bloating and ongoing tummy issues, and this is the first time in a very long time that I’ve felt real relief. Learning what foods works for my body has been life changing.
Myra Nissen is an amazing homeopath. I have been working with her for several months and I am amazed with the results. I had all but given up on homeopathy as I have been trying it on and off for years. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t and I never had any real luck with constitutional remedies at all.
