What does grade mean?

Brain Tumor Guide: FAQ
Grading is a way of telling how bad a tumor is. The grade of a tumor depends on how the cells look to a pathologist using a microscope. Generally, higher grade tumors look less like the specialized cells they came from and more like unspecialized cells that can divide indefinitely. Such cells are described as anaplastic, so tumors that are described as anaplastic are often higher grade than those that are not. Many patients have the grade of their tumor change during the course of the disease.

What does the Grade of the magnet mean?

Magnets FAQ

Simplistically, grade is generally used to describe how "strong" a permanent magnet material is. The energy product is specified in the units Gauss Oersted. One MGOe is 1,000,000 Gauss Oersted. A grade forty (N40) would have a Maximum Energy Product of 40 MGOe. The higher the grade the "stronger" the magnet.

Are you anti-pharmaceutical?

Frequently Asked Questions
I am not anti-pharmaceutical. As a physician, I recognize that pharmaceuticals have a place in health-care. However, I object to the cozy relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and physicians, in which the pharmaceutical industry provides physicians with "education" and "gifts." I also object to the dominant role of pharmaceuticals in health-care. Since life is metabolism, and since metabolism depends on food and water, health-care should focus on food and water.
