About This Workshop

In this two-presenter workshop titled "The Uninvited Guest," a Secoya Health practitioner and Paula walk participants through the topic of parasites — when and how to test, why someone might become a host, and how emotional and lifestyle factors shape the body's "terrain." The presenters emphasize gentle, personalized approaches over aggressive "cleanse" protocols, connect gut symptoms to stress and emotional patterns drawn from traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, and German medicine frameworks, and close with case examples, self-care rituals, an affirmation exercise, and audience Q&A.

What You'll Take Away

• The presenters emphasize testing rather than guessing before any parasite treatment, and caution against generic mail-order "parasite cleanses" that lack personalization.
• Three testing categories are described: ova & parasite (O&P) microscopy, PCR/DNA testing (e.g., GI-Map, tiny health, Genova), and specialized serology — each with limitations, so a negative test doesn't rule out parasites and a positive one doesn't automatically require aggressive treatment.
• According to the presenters, no single symptom confirms a parasite; the focus is on recognizing patterns and building a personalized clinical picture that includes stress, history, lifestyle, and home environment.
• The presenters advocate a 'gentle eviction' approach: open detox pathways (regular bowel movements, sweating, movement) first, treat one thing at a time, rebuild the gut and nervous system, and pace treatment in short cycles.
• The lead presenter frames symptoms as messages rather than betrayals, drawing on TCM, Ayurvedic, and German medicine concepts to connect specific organs and symptoms to emotional themes — presented as interpretive frameworks, not established medical fact.
• Self-care suggestions include slowing down for meals, reducing distractions, staying hydrated, prokinetic foods (like kiwis), abdominal massage, breathing practices, journaling to find patterns, and a personalized daily affirmation.
• Next steps are offered as three paths: (A) consult and testing, (B) gently testing the waters with food and lifestyle rituals, or (C) processing the emotional components through a wellness check, QNRT, or structural support visit.
