John Lefgren: “At the proposed Zarahemla Temple Site near Montrose, Iowa, some descendants of Native Americans returned to a place where their ancestors 16 centuries ago grew and harvested Spotted Beebalm (Monarda punctata var. villicaulis; Medicinal herb) for the treatment of fevers and diseases that can result from malaria caused by mosquito bites in seasonal hot summers. The seeds come from the ancient temple site that was necessary for believers to keep the Law of Moses. The seeds connect to a people who had a highly developed civilization on the rivers and the lakes of the Heartland of America. These seeds are so small, but their connection is so large.”
Kevin Price: "The medicinal values of this plant are unquestionable. The Mass Spec/Gas Chromatography results place it as the topmost potent essential oil in the world. Cursory Areal Correspondence Analysis show the plant geographic distribution in the US is strongly correlated with the Hopewell geographic distribution.
Something most of you do not know is that I also found other plants growing on the berm of great medicinal value, and one was known for the medicinal value of its roots just as Alma describes. This plant was growing among the Spotted Bee Balm. We also found a species of close relationship growing in the Jerusalem area that was used by the people of the area probably back to the time of Lehi, so Lehi and his family would have quickly recognized its value when they found it first in Florida where the plant follows the Hopewell trail.
The plant has been studied for its ability to protect people during times of bacterial and viral biological warfare. We found it to have 56 compounds and it is MUCH more effective in controlling antibiotic resistant bacterial strains when used as a whole essential oil as opposed to isolated compounds such as just the thymol or the carvacrol, which are its two most abundant compounds. So, synthesized thymol or carvacrol are much less effective for disease control. The synergistic effects of the 56 combined compounds are what makes it much more effective.
I have attached the white paper that Dana Young, Wayne May and I wrote on the plant. In this white paper we discussed many facts about the plant and tell you about the most common compounds in the plant, but we do not know that some of the less abundant compounds are not very important to the effectiveness of the plant – the Hopewell and Native Americans certainly knew of this plants importance."
