Isn't he the author of "the Synonym Finder"? It's a remarkable book and would (if that's indeed the same J.I. Rodale) deserve a mention. Friskpeppermint 04:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that was his, so I added it.

I also made some changes which I think improve the grammar, and clarify points. (For instance, if Prevention started publication in 1950, that was not 'long before' the late 1960s.)

I also cut the point about 'few interested' in alternative health - I don't have figures handy, but I think even in the 50s Prevention's circulation may have reached above a million. Which still might be considered a 'few' relative to the whole US population, so if someone else would rather return that phrasing, I'd accept it.
