Columbia
Pacific University (CPU)
-
On January
5, 2000 the Marin County Superior Court
(Court) issued a permanent injunction
ordering CPU to permanently cease
operating and to pay refunds to all
students who had attended since June 25,
1997. The Court also ordered CPU to
notify students that they were entitled
to refunds, and to pay the Bureau
$10,000 in penalties for violating the
Business and Professions Code.
-
On January
19, 2000 CPU appealed the Court's
January 5th order. Filing the appeal
automatically suspended the order
closing the school. However, the filing
of the appeal did not automatically bar
the Bureau from recovering the penalties
and students' refunds ordered on January
5th.
-
On April
6, 2000 the Court granted the Bureau's
request to order CPU to post a $2
million bond to ensure recovery of the
student refunds, notify students
regarding their refund rights, and
inform the Bureau within 10 days after
doing so. However, the order requiring
CPU to cease operating and to pay
students refunds and penalties is
suspended until the Court of Appeals
renders a decision.
-
On May 12,
2000, to avoid any further delays and
potential harm to students, the Bureau
filed a motion to expedite the appeal
process.

accreditation. However, it is registered with the
Virginia Commission on Education where it is domiciled,
and the Minnesota Department of Revenue. It is
ecclesially accredited and chartered by the Romano
Byzantine Department of Education*;
and has full academic accreditation by the Universal
Accrediting Commission of Schools, Colleges, and
Universities* (Athens
Greece) as a religious institution of higher education.
The Romano Byzantine Synod of Bishops and the Hellenic
Orthodox Metropolitanate*
have granted recognition to it. It is a full
member of the RBS Consortium of Higher Education
Institutions*; The
Alternative Education Association of Florida*;
The International Association of Educators for World
Peace (United Nations NGO); and International
Organization for Development of Freedom of Education (OIDEL)
of Switzerland. It is a chartered member of Medicina
Alternativa of Sri Lanka. |

5. Steenblock
Medical Center (AKA:
Brain Therapeutics Medical Clinic)
|
The
Brain Cell Therapeutic Clinic run by David Steenblock, D.O., who claims to have "put together a number of
growth factors and natural products that are known to
promote and protect new brain cells" and calls stem cell
therapy a "new and exciting treatment for brain
regeneration." The clinic's Web site states that
Steenblock "has devoted many years to research in the
fields of biochemistry, pathology, nerve and muscle
physiology, cardiovascular disease and other diseases of
aging." Yet a Medline search shows that his only
mainstream journal publications were three co-authored
articles about clotting factors in dogs and guinea pigs
-- all published in the late 1960s when he worked as a
laboratory research assistant during his osteopathic
training. In 1994, after being charged with negligently
treating two patients, Steenblock signed a stipulation
under which he admitted failing to adequately document
their management and had failed to issue a warning about
possible side effects of an injection he had
administered to one of them. He was assessed $10,000 and
placed on five years' probation under which he was
required to take extra continuing education courses in
pharmacology, medical charting, and ethics [17]. In
1995, after the door to his hyperbaric oxygen chamber
blew out (injuring three persons), investigators noted
that he was using three unlicensed persons as "physical
therapy assistants." [Subsequent charges that he had
violated his probation resulted in extending his
probation for another three months and assessment of
another $3,500 in costs [18]. -

Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients
Disclaimer: Townsend
Letter, the Examiner of Alternative Medicine, publishes
information about alternative medicine written by researchers,
health practitioners and patients. As a forum for the entire
alternative medicine community, we present information
discussing all alternative medicine practices. While articles,
letters and editorials seek to be scientific and show pros and
cons, some information will be biased from the viewpoint of the
author, be it physician or patient. We encourage reports which
frequently are not data-based but are anecdotal. Hence,
information presented may not be proven or factually correct.
All authors are required to submit their reports to other
professionals for review, but this process does not ensure the
validity of medical advice. The editors of the Townsend Letter
recommend that all patients (and physicians) review further
reports provided in the article's references and investigate the
practitioner's techniques before undertaking an alternative
diagnosis, examination or treatment.

Medical Hypothesis Journal
The purpose of
Medical Hypotheses is to publish
interesting theoretical papers. The journal will
consider radical, speculative and non-mainstream
scientific ideas provided they are coherently
expressed.
Medical Hypotheses is not, however, a
journal for publishing workaday reviews of the
literature, nor is it a journal for primary data
(except when preliminary data is used to lend
support to the main hypothesis presented). Many
of the articles submitted do not clearly
identify the hypothesis and simply read like
reviews.
|
Page Charges [Academic journals
usually do not charge authors for
publication.]
Medical Hypotheses
has a subscriber base whose funding
is supplemented by page charges.
Articles are accepted or rejected
for publication and published solely
on the basis of merit.
Current page charges are: US$125.00
/ £75.00 / Euro 111.00 per 1000
words or 50 references. US$21.50 /
£14.00 / Euro 22.00 per figure or
table. The calculation will be pro
rata to reflect the exact number of
words or references.
Authors will be invoiced for page
charges following acceptance of a
paper by the editors. Papers will be
processed for publication as soon as
payment is received. Please note
that failure or delay in sending
payment may significantly retard
publication of your paper.

"Dr."
Payne provides even more insight into his background,
credentials, and outlook on life on what seems to be his own web
page:
The Wizard Who Came From The Sky.
Payne has also apparently
presented himself as ""an adjunct professor of nutritional
science" at the now defunct
Greenwich University,
which seems to have evolved into
Akamai University.
