Background – Dr. Anthony G. Payne


Dr. Payne attended Louisiana State University (Anthropology major) and later completed a B.S. in paleoanthropology (1982) through an experimental but then highly regarded California-based and California state approved school, Columbia Pacific University (...."consistent in quality with curricula offered by appropriate established accredited institutions which are recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Education....1986, Full Institutional Approval CPU FAQs). He then went on to earn a certificate in avian biology (1984) from Cornell University, a diploma in natural medicine from the Werner Hoeferlin Institut fur Beruftlichte WeiderBildung (Germany), and a M.A. in physical anthropology from CPU based, in part, on his 170 page thesis concerning the roles of scavenging and hunting in hominid evolution (Which in some ways presaged many aspects of what later became formalized as Paleolithic nutrition or the paleodiet). Dr. Payne’s CPU master’s advisor was Dr. Peter Pick, an archeologist with advanced degrees in archeology from Columbia University. The Faculty and Deans at CPU nominated Dr. Payne for membership in Marquis' Who’s Who Among Students in America Universities in Colleges (Payne was accepted and awarded Who’s Who status during 1987).

Dr. Payne went on to earn a doctorate in nutritional medicine (N.M.D.) from Aksem Oriental Medical School (AKSEM Homes) in Manila, Philippines, a school accredited by the Department of Education, Culture & Sports. Government Recognition No. V-0017, series 1989 (Click here for copy of accreditation) and then a Ph.D. in pastoral psychology from the St. Mark-Romano Byzantine Catholic College (A school that eschews regional accreditation as the Synod of Bishops of St. Mark’s sponsoring Syro Russian Orthodox Catholic Church does not want entanglement of the government in ecclesial affairs including academics. The church operates a residential seminary and a number of other schools in the USA and abroad).

 

During the 1980s Dr. Payne served as editor-publisher of Biological Medicine Newsletter and co-hosted two radio talk shows. He was also a product development consultant to PCT Company and a scientific advisor to Berkley Health Network (Later sold to businessman and entrepreneur Curtis Jacquot and renamed “Pacific BioLogic”).

 

Dr. Payne was a staff nutrition counselor at one the largest integrative medical diagnostic and treatment clinics on the west coast, Steenblock Medical Center now dba Dr. Steenblock's Clinic. He primarily served as a nutrition advisor, managed the on-site natural pharmacy, wrote for and edited the clinic newsletter, and provided input as a theoretician to Dr. Steenblock and his staff of nurses, therapists and paramedical support personnel.

 

During the 1990s he wrote a mini-book, “Layperson’s Guide to Naturopathic Medicine” (SFCOM Press) and “Naturopathic Remedies” (Westar) plus numerous popular and technical articles. Dr. Payne also served as an AOL Community Leader and was Texas state chancellor of the International Association of Educators for World Peace (United Nations NGO), 1995-8 (Copy of certificate available upon request). He also carried out laboratory bench top research projects for Inter-Cal, Inc. (effects of esterified C on plant growth) and BioProducts, Inc. (testing of various growth accelerants in a variety of domestic culinary mushroom strains), did product development work for the PCT Company, Inc. (Eczema Tea, others) and Pacific BioLogic, and served on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Earthrise Corporation (for 5 years). He also served on the Board of Directors of Barotech, Inc., a manufacturer of hyperbaric oxygen chambers (HBO) and spent 5 years as Superintendent of Academic Affairs of the Orthodox Catholic Education System.

 

During the late 1980s and for more than a decade thereafter Dr. Payne made pioneering inroads in the metabolic pathway treatment and eradication of solid tumors, a body of theory titled the Metabolic Oncolytic Regimen published in the Townsend Letter for Doctors (1995) and the British Naturopathic Journal (2000). These endeavors culminated in the award of an honorary MD degree and two international medals in science and medicine by the Faculty Senate of Open International University during the mid-1990s.

 

In addition, Dr. Payne has done commercially subsidized product development research (R & D) aimed at producing a viable skin rejuvenation treatment system.

 

Dr. Payne has published many scholarly papers, some of which have appeared in the peer-reviewed journal Elsevier's Medical Hypotheses Journal and Medical Hypotheses & Research. Many of the journals Payne’s papers have appeared in have a free public access policy and thus require authors to pay for page set-up fees, but this policy is one being adopted by many journals including the prestigious Public Library of Science.

Financial fairness. As a nonprofit organization, PLoS charges authors a fair price that reflects the actual cost of publication. However, the ability of authors to pay publication charges will never be a consideration in the decision whether to publish.

 

 

Among Dr. Payne’s hypotheses that have appeared in various journals are these:

 

Using immunomagnetic technology
and other means to
facilitate stem cell homing
  

 

Exploiting Hypoxia
in Solid Tumors
to Achieve Oncolysis

Exploiting intracellular iron and iron-rich compounds to effect tumor cell lysis

 

In 1997, the National Institutes of Health National Center for Complementary & Alternative Medicine) brought Dr. Payne to Washington to participate in a major conference covering parameters for testing of nonstandard novel, but promising cancer treatment regimens and therapeutic agents (POMES). This invitation was an outgrowth (in part) of NIH recognition of novel metabolic approaches to eradicating cancer -- including Dr. Payne’s Metabolic Oncolytic Regimen

 

During early 1999 Dr. Payne accepted an invitation to teach in Japan. From 1999-2003 he taught courses at Asia University (Tokyo), Teikyo University of Science & Technology (Uenohara, Japan), numerous major Tokyo-area corporations, as well as the Toshiba College Institute of Education and Culture (Shin-Yokohama, Japan).

 

Payne and his Japanese wife, Sachi, relocated to the USA during late March 2003 following on the heels of his having accepted an invitation to became resident biological theoretician and senior science writer with the 501( c )3 nonprofit Steenblock Research Institute (SRI) located in San Clemente, California USA.

 

During 2006- 7 two books Dr. Payne coauthored were released by Basic Health Publications: Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy and Health Benefits of K2. Payne also has penned a number of essays and other popular works such as Rats in the Cosmic Laboratory: Is God A Scientist?, which was the most read essay on the “Think Deeply” website during 2002-3 (Over 50,000 reads at one point).  Another well received, though controversial one concerns delusional religious and other beliefs as normative coping mechanisms.

Payne joined the faculty of Akamai University during 2003, and has been involved in mentoring (at-a-distance and face-to-face) several graduate and post-graduate students. Akamai University is currently pursuing accreditation by DETC .

Dr. Payne left SRI at the end of June 2007 to become Director of Invention & Development for the nonprofit Weller Health Institute.

 

Dr. Payne is a twenty plus (20+) year member of the international high IQ society, MENSA, is a Bureau of Indian Affairs certified American Indian, and a tribal member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. He is also on the board of directors of Compassion Care Foundation, a 501 ( c ) 3 nonprofit charitable organization that raised money and goods to help struggling peoples in the African nation of Uganda.
