Greg Caton is an American herbalist and entrepreneur known for his work in the field of alternative medicine. He is the founder of Alpha Omega Labs, a company that produces herbal products, particularly those related to skin care and cancer treatment. Caton has been a controversial figure due to his legal issues and the nature of his products, which have often been scrutinized by regulatory agencies.

Early Life and Education[edit | edit source]

Greg Caton was born in the United States. Details about his early life and education are not widely documented, but he became interested in herbal medicine and alternative treatments early in his career.

Career[edit | edit source]

Caton founded Alpha Omega Labs in the 1990s, focusing on the development and sale of herbal products. His company gained attention for its production of escharotic salves, which are topical treatments claimed to remove skin cancers and other growths. These products, however, have been controversial and have led to legal challenges.

Legal Issues[edit | edit source]

In 2003, Caton was arrested and charged with selling unapproved drugs. He was sentenced to 33 months in prison for violating federal drug laws. Despite these legal challenges, Caton continued to advocate for alternative medicine and resumed his business activities after serving his sentence.

In 2009, Caton was arrested again in Ecuador, where he had relocated, and was extradited to the United States. This arrest was related to his continued sale of unapproved products.

Controversies[edit | edit source]

Caton's work has been controversial due to the nature of his products and the claims made about their efficacy. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued warnings about the safety and effectiveness of escharotic treatments, which can cause significant harm if used improperly.

Publications[edit | edit source]

Greg Caton has authored several books and articles on alternative medicine and herbal treatments. His writings often focus on the benefits of natural remedies and critique the pharmaceutical industry.
