When I stumbled upon the olive leaf health benefits, I knew this was to be our next product.

My name is Terence Hedgcock.

Four years of my childhood was spent on a farm where I saw my father applying in a practical way commonsense cures and solutions to sick and injured animals, from broken limbs and snake-bites to common stock diseases. There was no vet nearby and I learned that there is a lot the individual can do concerning health if you take on the responsibility, learn about and apply the solutions that are available.

My father later owned and ran a health shop for about 15 years until he retired. His shop was near a hospital, and during that time we saw many people, who had been given up as hopeless cases by the local orthodox medical fraternity, restored to health by a variety of alternative cures.
The importance of taking responsibility for your own health was again reinforced in my thinking.

I also noticed a growing number of medical doctors researching, writing books and starting to practice alternative forms of medicine, often at the cost of their medical licences, the goodwill of their peers and slanderous accusations and lawsuits from the medical establishment.
The rift between orthodox and holistic medicine was punctuated now and again by sudden government prohibitions and swoops on things such as apricot kernels, vitamin B17 and vitamin E oil, some of which had demonstrated near miraculous results on various customers.

While I believe doctors and certain pharmaceutical drugs are essential and a blessing to a community, it is equally important that people always have access to natural medicine and information, and can effectively take on the responsibility of the health maintenance of their own families.

I studied mechanical engineering, gaining a diploma and ended up designing precision machinery. My passion for research and development extended to the natural health field as well and as soon as I had my own children I sought to raise them in healthy lifestyle habits rather than allowing them to be victims of disease due to bad eating etc.

During this quest my wife and I started a family business distributing herbal products, and eventually with the help of excellent herbalists we began improving and formulating our own products.

Being a family man, I naturally tended to look for solutions to the health problems that commonly afflict families.

As soon as I stumbled upon the olive leaf health benefits, I knew this was something special.

In this God-given herb was the potential to alleviate most of the health problems experienced by today's families.
I set out to develop the strongest, most effective, best quality and yet still affordable olive leaf extract tincture possible. It had to be able to do all that the research suggested it should do.
Our revolutionary product was manufactured and in the space of a few years became (and still is) one of the best selling olive leaf extracts in South Africa, sold in small health shops and major discount pharmacies alike.

Having spent years presenting the health benefits of olive leaf extract to homeopaths, pharmacists, doctors, clinics, health shop owners and sales staff and later hearing their amazing feedback, I have seen what a valuable part it can play in family health. I have also had numerous customers 'phone me to give me heart-warming stories about olive leaf extract.

This site is to give out that information, helping people to take their health back and distinguish between good and inferior products.

The members of my family very seldom need a day in bed to get over any kind of infection, and I can't remember when an infection last resulted in a visit to the doctor.
Olive leaf extract has really been a blessing to us and I hope it can be the same for you.

Wishing you excellent health.
