"Graham died of complications after receiving opium enemas, as directed by his doctor, at the age of 57 at home in Northampton, Massachusetts. His early death was the source of criticism and speculation.[31] Historian Stephen Nissenbaum has written that Graham died “after violating his own strictures by taking liquor and meat in a last desperate attempt to recover his health”.[32]
Russell Trall, who had visited Graham, noted that he had strayed from a strict vegetarian diet and was prescribed meat by his doctor to increase his blood circulation.[31] Trall wrote that before his death Graham regretted this decision and “fully and verily believed in the theory of vegetable diet as explained in his works”.[31]
Meat? Veggies?
Or could it just possibly be the Opium Enemas? And how’s that for a band name?
