Yesterday Oz covered intestinal parasites.  Apparently 1,000 mg. of garlic and papaya are good supplements for these worms that infest 47% of all chronic fatigue patients.  Does anybody know if dialysis patients need to avoid these supplements for some reason?

I'd ask your pharmacist about your specific meds.  If grapefruit can muck things up, who knows what papaya would do?
