Rudy Sanchez and the Art of Falling

by C. L. Cook

Not inured yet to the ever tightening grasp on the people's throat, I was outraged anew to hear of the fate of Rudy Sanchez' Marigold Natural Pharmacy in the picturesque Comox Valley.

 

That's on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Not Burma, or North Korea; not the dark dictatorships of the 'Stans', but located in beautiful downtown Courtenay.

 

That's where the State police, backed by the nameless heroes of Health Department bureaucracy, raided the midtown landmark, rifled its shelves, and carted off its inventory of herbs and healing potions. 

 

It is as one commenting on this attack at Marigold blog likened it, the witch hunts all over.

 

Rudy responded at his website writing;

 

"On the day of the raid from Health Canada and the College of Pharmacists, there came a point when it became hard to see through the frustration, disappointment, and  simmering anger. Over time, I had to learn the lessons of falling. Only by  doing so was it possible to accept the events as part of a greater unfolding."

 

Rudy Sanchez' complete article is as edifying as it is enlightening on this despicable turn of event, and what it bodes for the health of those in Canada and beyond. You can read the entire piece here.
