Get a subscription to this handy little magazine (its just slightly taller than a Reader’s Digest) if you not only want to prevent illness and disease, but learn what you can do about health problems you already might have (such as diabetes, heart disease, or obesity). Some of its regular departments include:

-Health (latest health news and trends, Q and A from the experts)

-Real Life (inspirational and motivational health success stories)

-Beauty (tips to look your best)

-Fitness (exercises, motivational tips)

-Nutrition (food tips and up-to-date nutritional advice)

-Mind (info to keep your mind sharp)

As you can see, its a pretty well-rounded health magazine that is perfect for health-minded individuals. Also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if you have plantar fasciitis that interferes with your exercise routine.

Think you want to subscribe to Prevention Magazine? Think again. The Rodale Corporation (Rodale, Inc.), which publishes this magazine and others, uses a scam to squeeze money out of unsuspecting consumers who have subscribed to their magazines and then decided not to renew the subscription. After several attempts to send you renewal invoices and other scare tactics, you’ll receive a collection notice from the North Shore Collection Agency demanding money and raising the threat of debt delinquency. For most of us, this translates into a tarnished credit report.

Please let your friends, family, co-workers, and other people in your life know about this deceptive scare tactic to fleece money from folks. The North Shore Agency is the subject of lawsuits and under investigation by Attorneys General in various states. To learn more, Google North Shore Agency and magazine subscriptions. You’ll learn about this rip-off. Stay informed and be aware of all the other magazines Rodale publishes.

Maybe Amazon will look into this shady practice on behalf of its customers…..

Back in the 1970′s my grandmother subscribed to Prevention. At that time, it was a wonderful magazine, filled with informative articles aimed at the “Prevention” of illness and the promotion of wellness (as the founder of Prevention, J.I. Rodale had preached). Articles about the role of vitamins and nutrition were light years ahead of their time. (J.I. can be given a lot of credit for bringing vitamins and supplements to the mainstream). Over the years, and especially after the tragic death of Robert Rodale (J.I.’s son), and the takeover by his wife and daughter, it has unfortunately transformed into a fluffy, tabloid-like “women’s magazine” with scantily clad women on the covers, and one- or two-page articles instructing women to get killer abs and burn the fat. I think J.I. Rodale is probably spinning in his grave to see what his descendents have done to butcher this magazine, which bears NO resemblence whatsoever to what it used to be. I flipped through a copy in disgust recently to note, as another reviewer has stated, plenty of ads for DRUGS which really seems to go against the idea of preventing illness in the first place (whereas the old Prevention sang the praises of vitamins and health foods). I don’t know why the Rodale family doesn’t just scrap the title and call it something else, but alas, they are a major corporation now and I have little hope that this magazine will improve any time soon.

Readers. Be aware of subscribing to Prevention Magazine unless you want to get your credit ruined by North Shore Collection Agency. I have been trying to cancel the magazine continously and they don’t acknowlege it at all. Prevention Magazine (Rodale) will decept you into renewing and if you try to cancel over and over, they will send you a letter from Collection Agency saying that you own them money.

The choice is yours. There are lots of previous subscribers having the same situation. I thought I was the only one. Check “Complaints for Prevention Magazine” on Google…….

I ordered Prevention Magazine, and did not like it. When I got the bill, I sent a cancellation notice, and got no more of them. Just today I got a notice from a collection agency for the entire subscription amount! I will NEVER order this magazine, and will tell my friends of this experience!
