Natural Health

The magazine has recently been revamped and is shallow beyond words. It's now nothing more than the usual glamour magazine targeted toward women with a fluff article or two on alternative healing thrown in for appearances sake only. After years of getting a magazine with indepth and very informative articles on alternative medicine, I routinely throw this new model in the garbage the moment it arrives at my home.

Don't waste your time or money. I won't be renewing my subscription.

I loved this magazine in 1995, until a few years ago. They have changed editors a few times and now it is not even worth reading the ads.

No new information. Glossy pics of models with bright red lips. What is about health here?

Get Life Extension magazine and Alternative Medicine Magazine. They've changed too over the last few years, but still a far sight better than this one.


Misleading title- nothing "Natural" about it   April 25, 2004

This magazine title should be changed. It is no longer "Natural Health". The revamped magazine includes sections on makeup, home decorating, articles on weight loss and healthier diets (not natural diets). It has become very mainstream. This magazine reminds me of Glamour or Woman's Day. Another complaint I have aside from the fluff content is there are more ads than content, that is not an exaggeration. Count them. You will find over 50% of the pages are ads.

Here's an example: this month (MAY 2004) had an article about jet lag and one of the ways to lesson the lag was "sleeping pills/waking pills". This may help jetlag, but it's not "natural health" and an alternative should be listed, although professionals may recommend pills.

Another complaint, is every month there is an article focusing on weight loss. Sounds like a typical mainstream magazine, although it's not as good as the mainstream magazines. I do not recommend this magazine if you are actually looking for info on "Natural Health".


Weider & Co. Change NATURAL HEALTH To Fluff Magazine.   October 26, 2003

NATURAL HEALTH has just been revamped to a fluff magazine. Ignoring it's core subscription, Weider & Co. decide to run their same fluff articles that they run in other magazines in NATURAL HEALTH. You will learn nothing about herbs, nutrional supplements, disease prevention or treatment from the new NATURAL HEALTH. You might learn how to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving, fluff on using cosmetics or fluff on fluff. I recommend HEALTH, ALTERNATIVE HEALTH, BETTER NUTRITION or PREVENTION as magazines that will give you good health information. Not fluff.

Anyone new to "naturals," or just tired of being sick and looking for alternatives should subscribe. Every issue is jam packed with great info, to the lay person or natural doc!!! Even the ads are informational. (I paid twice what Amazon is offering it for) But if you can save, buy it here--I am! I have even enrolled in school to become a Doctor of Naturopathy because of its wonderful influence.
