>In usual ferret owner style, someone is going crazy over my aloe vera >juice post. Do not ASSUME that Dr. Wagner has NOT been asked about >this issue... I did not assume. I asked him point blank. Dr. Bob Wagner and I chat very often. We are friends and I have helped him collect data for some of his work. Because his reputation could be involved on this I asked him directly because I would hate to see him possibly harmed. He did NOT recommend or okay, or otherwise comment on the use of Aloe vera as an oral medication for anyone. Period. He also thanked me for looking out for him when I asked and posted, and he saw my post before it appeared. BTW, the moderator of the FML got copies of his replies.
