A DEAN RANT:
HOORAY! WE’VE BEDDED THE BEAST!
Just put finishing touches on the October issue of our hard-copy monthly, PERSONAL SUCCESS - THE NEWSLETTER - all twelve pages - and, as we say in the publishing biz, we have ‘’put it to bed.'’ It’s now being printed. So, I can now move onto something else - such as this blog.
I enjoy doing this so much, I’ve cleared the decks as much as possible and intend to start writing much more often - so keep tuned!
We have an extraordinary amount of articles to present to you - all designed to help increase your bank balance, boost your good health and perhaps, strengthen your relationships and in general, make your life even better than it already is!
About that October issue of P.S.: Each year we have a little extra fun with that issue owing to it’s being the Halloween season and all - and this year is no exception. BUT, we have also incorporated several really great articles on making tons of money, as that’s what we’ve been best known for these past 4 1/2 decades - plus, there’s a bunch of other good stuff in there that I know regular DAX-DOERS will enjoy and perhaps, you would, as well.
One such is the chance to get for yourself - or, as a gift for someone you care about - a 100% FREE gold & silver adjustable-band calendar faux Rolex wristwatch - gift boxed, of course. No kidding - it won’t cost you a cent - not even a postage stamp is required! (See page #11 of the newsletter.)
Normally, in our 44+ year history we do not offer single issues - only one year (12 issues) subscriptions (at $99.00 domestic - $137.00 Foreign). BUT if you’d like to reserve a copy for yoruself, send me five bux (cash, money order or unused U. S. postage stamps - NO checks or chargecards for this tiny amount, please) to: DAX-October, Box 447, Centreville, MI 49032-0447.
However, you must do that before September 15th, as it is then that the n/l starts being shipped out (via First Class - always) from our various mailing centers around the globe. After that date, it’s unlikely we’ll have any extra copies left. We never do.
You should also consider visiting our primary website: WWW.DAXFAX.COM to learn of our world-renowned wealth-building opportunity of which most entrepreneurs are already keenly aware - and many have been profiting from it for years.
Either or both of the foregoing may result in a truly significant enhancement in YOUR lifestyle!

UNUSUAL INVESTMENTS (BIG PAY-OFF TIME?!)
We are in the process of building our website to market the artistic works of established as well as new artists. (4-ARTSAKE.COM) We have sent letters to all past patrons of du Vall to ask if they would like to place their acquisitions on the secondary market and maybe, reap some financial reward.
As our records on those early works go back to 1990-1991 - before we were totally computerized and pre 1993 flood that destoyed many of our records in Williamston - we may have missed YOU with our letter.
If so, let em know if you’d like us to put on the market your painting(s) that you bought for perhaps, as low as $2,500.00 which nowadays fetch upwards of ten times that!
This will be done at no cost to you whatsoever until we sell - and then, only a flat 10% of actual sales price. We have either full color slides or digital images of ALL du Vall works so you do not need to ship your treasures to US - only to the ultimate seller.
Your 100% anonimity is assured! Let Robin know if you’re interested at: Letters@DAXFAX.COM But hurry!

PONDER THIS . . .
A penny saved is . . . not much of a stash. Maybe, you’d better set your sights higher - MUCH HIGHER!

A DAX HEALTH BOOSTER:
In a recent issue of PERSONAL SUCCESS - The Newsletter, we published an article that is vitally important to everybody - of every age - young, old, male or female. It is so important that we present it here in its entirety.
It is lengthy, but worth reading if you value your health and that of your family, good friends and others. If you haven’t the time to read it now, please download a copy and review it at your leisure.
This data may well save your life or someone you care about so, please read it carefully as soon as you can!
AS IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT HEALTH-WISE!
. . . what with trying to beat the odds of 67% of your fellow Americans being obese . . . those astronomical cholesterol numbers that your doctor keeps tsk-tsking about . . . on-going concerns over heart disease, cancer, menopause, erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis as well all the rest of the currently ‘’popular'’ health issues . . .
. . . well my friend, here’s something else to really fret over, but fortunately, there’s quite a lot you/we can do about it. We’re talking here about a condition that is seldom discussed even though the numbers of those affected is horrendous, as you will learn later:
PRE Diabetes. This is the condition that, by its name, is obviously a precursor to full blown Type II diabetes that you and I and no one else wants if there’s any way to avoid it!
My late mother died from complications of diabetes just two months short of her 90th birthday. Her health - especially her heart, was otherwise strong - but the diabetes finally beat her down. As it did other members of my family including a Great Uncle, and two aunts. In two of the cases, leg amputation preceded their demise -again , something we’d all like to avert, eh wot, Gimpy?!
WHAT IS PRE-DIABETES?
Simply stated, P.D. is the condition of one’s health that almost 100% leads to diabetes and there are eight distinct items on the checklist:
1. Excess weight gain - but especially, around one’s mid section. Note: Generally, this is exclusive of a ‘’normal'’ middle-age paunch that many men routinely develop and equally often, those women who are post menopause.
2. Frequent urination (day or night) as well as oddly, a tendency to inconsistent bathroom trips.
3. Feeling really pooped out much of the time for no specific reason, i.e., you have NOT run a marathon, worked all day in the yard or otherwise engaged in activity that should logically tire you out.
4. Irritability: Okay, as we age, many of us just tend to be nasty old cranks (myself included!) BUT the individual generally knows if he or she feels ‘’out-of-sorts'’ and whether that is the result of rational reasons or otherwise.
5.Cold hands and feet and more likely, poor circulation in general. The latter often causes muscle cramps, ‘’Charley Horses,'’ spasms -even advanced joint pain.
6.Low sex drive not accounted for by a (plethora) of other possible causes. We’ve discussed this subject at great length at other times in these pages, but in this instance, if one cannot pinpoint any really good reason, the odds are that it IS one of the 8 Pre-Diabetes checklist items.
7. Often, one experiences stomach pains when again, there appears to be no really specific reason for it. Generally, this type of pain is in the abdomen as opposed to being higher up, which, as one ages, is frequently due to acid reflux (heart burn).
8. Finally - and admittedly, this is a difficult one to assess AS a Pre-Diabetes indicator - is that of blurred vision or having difficulty navigating during the dark hours of one’s day.
There can be - often are - a number of other reasons for not seeing too clearly, but it definitely is one of the 8 warning signs that should be addressed. Especially, when we are told that a large number of people with full-blown diabetes end up totally blind!
Although not specifically on the 8-item checklist, a really good way to tell whether you are at risk is by the specific number of inches you find at your own waistline:
If you are a woman, 35 inches or more is too much! If a man, you only get an additional 5 inches leeway - yep, 45 inches or greater places you at impending risk of not just Diabetes but a whole bunch of other bad stuff such as heart disease, stroke, arthritis, reduced sexual activity and . . . horror of horrors - people saying behind your back that you are a fat-ass!! (Not to be confused with being called a fat-HEAD!)
NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS!
Yes, either pre-diabetes or diabetes itself is a nasty condition, but as with so many other health problems much of it can be avoided, treated or even remedied by a change in our ‘’habits'’ which generally boils down to what we eat, what we do with our physical, emotional and mental selves!
In short, a better diet, coupled with a decent exercise regimen, engaging in activities that stimulate our minds and such can go a VERY long way towards a positive outcome.
First, the diet: There is what is called the GLYCEMIC INDEX. It lists all sorts of basic foodstuffs and how they affect the human body vis-B-vis the bad or good effects to be realized from eating (whatever.) Whilst I would strongly suggest a visit to the Internet via the good graces of our favorite search engine GOOGLE, here is some cursory data to get you thinking:
The Glycemic Index is based on a reference value of Glucose (GI=100). 70 and up is a HIGH reading, whilst 55 or less is considered LOW. In between 55 and 100 is MEDIUM. With that in mind, here are some common foods and how they rate as regards being healthy or not as regards Pre-Diabetes:
White potatoes (94), Jelly Beans (80), A doughnut (76), French Fries (75), A Bagel (72), White Bread (70) and even watermelon which is otherwise ‘’healthy'’ (72)! LOW GI items include: Whole Milk (22), Walnuts (15), Apples (38), Broccoli (10), Cabbage (10), Oranges (44), Onions (10), Soy Beans (18), Kidney Beans (27).
The ‘’in between'’ category includes: Shredded wheat (67), Pineapple (66), Popcorn (55), Wheat Bread (69), Mango (55).
Well, you get the idea - which is that whilst we may think we know ‘’what’s good'’ and what is not, there are a few surprises. Naturally, there are dozens - perhaps, hundreds more individual pieces of data that you can discover when you go on line and punch in ‘’Glycemic Index.'’
In addition to ‘’proper eating,'’ there have been a number of studies that offer other solutions. One such is from Dr. Gloria Yeh, a researcher at Harvard medical School. She claims to have discovered 36 different herbs that help patients who have either diabetes or impaired glucose intolerance. Again, GOOGLE the gal! (Just don’t get caught by your wife . . . )
INCLUDE EXERCISE & MENTAL STIMULATION!
No person in their right mind can honestly say that they love physical activity above and beyond that which is necessary to get one’s body from point A to point B. (Well okay, that’s just my personal assessment of ‘’exercise.'’) Nonetheless, it is unfortunately, a well-known fact that we all need to get a goodly amount of daily exercise.
Actually, the proper description would be ‘’regular'’ exercise. Even a bit of it on a consistent basis is better than none at all. HOW much you decide to commit to is up to you, BUT all the evidence seems to underscore the need FOR regular exercise of some kind. Experts tell us that plain old simple walking is the absolute best basic exercise for just about everyone on the planet.
I do not care to walk around aimlessly in the neighborhood, mall or whatever, so what I have done for years is really quite simple: No matter what else that I do . . . no matter what else is going on in my life at the time . . . regardless, if I am travelling here or abroad, at home or wherever - I always insist on doing 20 minutes on the treadmill at a moderate walking speed and I do that twice every day. No matter what. I HATE it!
But I do it. And on the rare occasions when I’ve been forced to forego the routine due to illness, I notice a huge difference in the way my body feels. The twice-daily exercise pattern really makes ME, at least, feel much better. Try it - or something like it and see how it works for you! (As always: CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR, FIRST!)
KEEPING MENTALLY ALERT
The other thing we all need to do is to stimulate our mental faculties. That sounds elementary, but you’d be surprised how many people quickly slip into a mental rut and fail to expose themselves to anything ‘’new.'’ Old routines of any kind are comfortable, but can be harmful if we’re not careful.
I have no idea what interests YOU, but whatever ’tis, strive to introduce some fresh stimuli into your purview that truly challenges you. It may be a crossword puzzle, trying to figure out ‘’whodunit'’ vis-B-vis a mystery novel, an in-depth consideration of the ‘’meaning of life'’ or something else.
There’s got to be something that piques your curiosity and if, like myself, it may be exceedingly difficult to discover what the heck that is. But keep trying. Much research has revealed that by keeping our mind active as we age, we stave off alzheimer’s disease amongst other things!
I SAVED THE WORST FOR LAST!
Contrary to how these pieces are usually written, I’ve waited until now to tell you how bad this Pre-Diabetes thing we’re talking about really is - ’cause I want the facts to imprint on you so you’ll DO something about it! Here are the sad facts:
As we speak, 41 million of our fellow Americans have already been classified as pre-diabetic: They have too-high blood sugar levels which result in those aforementioned 8 danger signals. In time, the condition WILL, in almost all cases, develop into full-blown diabetes. Get this:
Every single day 150 people must have a leg amputated, because of diabetes! On the plus side, I guess some could get a job at their local ‘’I-Hop.'’
IF YOU THINK THAT’S BAD . . .
The American Diabetes Association estimates that most people with pre-diabetes don’t even know it! Let’s go back to that first figure of 41 million Americans who DO know ‘’they have it.'’ If the ADA claims that MOST people who have it do not know, does that not mean that MORE than another 41 million people do have it - but are just not (yet) aware?!
Another startling statistic - and I’ll leave you with THAT - plus the strong admonition that you get on your ‘puter and do some serious GOOGLING: Anyone between the ages of 40 and 74 has a 50% likelihood of already being pre-diabetic! ‘’Holy glucose, Batman!'’
AGAIN: Due to the importance of this data . . . PLEASE pass it along to someone you care about . . . TODAY. If you don’t want to print off a copy, give them our URL: WWW.DAXRICH.COM However, as stated earlier, the piece will be moved shortly to our archives, so tell them once they get here to click on the ARCHIVES link on the left side of the page.

WATCH YOR BACK!
RE: BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY CLASSIFIED (WWW.BOCONLINE.COM)
Friday night I stumbled upon a website featuring advertising for home-based businesses. I had never heard of them, so I was interested. We’re always seeking fresh avenues of marketing for our DAX-DOER as well as ourselves.
I gave the site only a cursory scan and decided to try a $100.00 weekly ad. I plugged in all the requisite data, but at the last moment thought perhaps, I’d better check out the deal a bit closer.
I clicked the first advertiser and the screen said, ‘’If this presentation doesn’t begin within 30 seconds, the web marketing experts tell us that you will leave this site . . . ‘’
Yep, you have THAT right!
That’s what I did, after sitting there twittling my thumbs far too long (too much twittling may be hazardous to your health, you know!) - left and tried a couple more advertisers. Another one was just as laborious and boring. I never did have the time or patience to find out what either marketer was hoping to sell me.
Finally, I concluded that this was not something that would work for DAX or our DAX-DOERS, but I thought I should at least alert the website owner to the fact that his site was sluggish, so I DID!
Big mistake . . . the next day he sends me a rambling, disjointed, horribly misspelled email (all in a single, lengthy paragraph - no breaks!) in which he called me every nasty thing he could think of including the worst, I suppose - from HIS ignorance-of-youth vantage point - ‘’an old man!'’
Intrigued by his rancor, I called up the team leader of our DDD (DAX Dandy Dozen) - that stalwart crew of some 47 men and women, at last count, who investigate products and services for DAX-DOERS. I told her that I realized it was the holiday weekend but if she could scurry someone up to check out the aformentioned website I’d appreciate it.
Well, not one but two DDD signed on - Holly and Robin - and here’’s what they reported to me:
1. Not all of the advertisers listed under FEATURED OPPORTUNITY LINKS are ‘live'’ - either they would show a notice that an advertiser is no longer active or, institutional ads for the site promoter would appear, instead. In auction parlance, that’s called a ‘’shill.'’
2. There were nine postive testimonials of advertisers showcased. The girls checked each one out - ALL NINE WERE DEAD - gone to that great cyber heaven above! Kaput! Na-da! They APPEARED to be there, but their individual contact data (email addresses ) were all expired.
One Christopher S. Ciappa lays claim to ownership of the site and sent me other odd emails - again, not exactly exhibiting a high level of business acumen. On the flip side, when we attempted to email him back the one time, he had a block put on his receipt for our email.
3. That first advertisement that woud not load for me features, I’m told, background music by a long-time DAX-DOER, Dolly Parton - wonder if she’s getting the royality she’s legally due for that . . . By the way, her tune is followed by a pounding band of some sort and Holly said that she was expecting to see some undulating strippers appear at any moment . . .
Our final assessment of the BOC website: Geeze . . .
IN STARK CONTRAST:
The same night the above was initiated, I also came across another interesting website called www.usefultraffic.com Had a problem with THAT: I entered all the data and the software kept coming back at me saying, ‘’You must enter a valid email address.'’
Okay . . . I’m thinking maybe I hit the comma rather than the period - one of our computers has a slightly smaller keyboard than I’m used to and I frequently make that mistake.
Nope. Checked it thorougly - I had NOT made an error - the email address I entered was one we’ve had for many years. '’Valid'’ ’twas! So, I cancelled the order and emailed the site and told them what had hapepned.
The next day I received a VERY nice email from, Tedd Mitchell, CEO, who not only aplogized, but thanked me for bringing the matter to their attention.
It seems that the sofware is case-sensitive and does not accept all caps so it rejected my order as though it was based on an invalid email address! Had I not brought the situation to their attention - they would continue losing much business!
Naturally, we subsequently submitted an order to Tedd - for several hundred bux. Mr. Ciappa . . . meet Mr. Mitchell . . . you see . . . THAT is how business should be conducted!

DAX YAX
‘’Sometimes, when I reflect on all the wine I drink, I feel shame. Then, I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.
‘’Then, I say to myself, ‘It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.”’
