Jeff Belanger: 我认为布伦瑞克温泉之所以出名,是因为它具有独特的疗愈特性。几个世纪以来,阿贝纳基印第安人认为这些水域拥有治愈的力量,称之为“伟大灵魂的药水”。1784年,一位受伤的英国士兵被带到这里,他的手臂奇迹般地被治愈。这使得人们开始关注这些泉水,并试图将其商业化。然而,阿贝纳基人反对这种行为,认为这是对伟大灵魂的亵渎。他们发出了警告,任何利用这些水域牟利的行为都不会成功。尽管如此,人们还是不断尝试,导致了多次火灾和酒店倒闭,这似乎验证了阿贝纳基人的诅咒。即使没有诅咒,1938年美国食品药品管理局的法规也扼杀了矿物泉疗养产业,因为他们不再允许将未经批准的物质宣传为药物。 Ray Auger: 我对这些泉水的疗愈能力持怀疑态度。虽然我理解人们对奇迹的渴望,就像我母亲的朋友去卢尔德寻求奇迹一样,但大多数时候,这些奇迹并没有发生。我认为布伦瑞克温泉的兴衰,更多的是受到商业利益和法规的影响,而不仅仅是诅咒。尽管如此,这个地方的历史充满了战争、火灾和死亡,确实令人着迷。我确实认为,即使没有阿贝纳基诅咒,食品和药物管理局也会以禁止将未经批准的物质宣传为药物来扼杀矿物泉疗养产业。
