Biographie[modifier | modifier le code]
Dans les années 1800, Russell Trall est un acteur majeur dans la promotion de l'hydrothérapie et de l'hygiénisme aux États-Unis. C'est aussi un fervent partisan du végétarisme. Il rejette les thérapeutes-droguistes, les médecins de l'époque. Ses efforts ont permis l'émergence de la future naturopathie[1].
Il serait le premier écrivain à écrire un livre de recettes véganes[2].
