Dr. Bob Wagner is a greatly trusted friend so I asked him about his name appearing in that person's post about Aloe vera. He is the justly famous Dr. Wagner in PA in relation to ferrets. He replied that he has not learned about Aloe vera in ferrets. He also obviously is reputable enough that he does not comment on things he has not looked into. So, do NOT assume that the person's mention of "Dr. Wagner" means that he ever endorsed or encouraged Aloe vera's use in this way, because that simply would not be the case. I can't speak about any other Doctors Wagner, either in relations to their endorsements or their qualifications.
