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

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 biomedical 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. http://www.plos.org/about/principles.html 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 Exploiting Hypoxia MHR Paper Role of Metalloproteinase New Experimental Cancer Medical Hypotheses &
Research Journal [ABSTRACT] Anthony G. Payne, Ph.D. [2005]
Beneficial Effects of Subcutaneously Injected Human Umbilical Cord Stem Cells
on Cerebral Palsy and Traumatic Brain Injury in Children and a Posited
Mechanism. pp. 497 - 501 Exploiting intracellular iron
and iron-rich compounds to effect tumor cell lysis In 1996, 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

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 resident theoretician and chief science writer for
Weller Health Institute. Dr. Payne is a twenty
