Over half of the medical readings that Edgar Cayce gave in his lifetime cite poor elimination as the root cause of disease and illness. In order to remain healthy, human cells need to eliminate toxins and waste products as well as take in nutrients. One of the easiest ways to help the body eliminate toxins and waste, according to Cayce, is to drink a cup of hot water with fresh squeezed lemon juice in the morning before eating any food. A simple cup of hot lemon water helps the body eliminate toxins thrown off during sleep. In addition, Cayce recommended doing some deep breathing exercises to eliminate toxins in the lungs. These two simple morning activities can add years to one's life.
In addition to drinking lemon water to help the body eliminate toxins, Cayce sometimes recommended fresh lemon juice in order to improve circulation and assimilation as well as elimination. In reference to using lemon juice as a therapy, Cayce advised the following:
"Immediately on arising [in the morning] roll a lemon and cut in two. Eat a portion of it - without salt - half of it - all the juice from same - then walk just as far as possible, AWAY FROM THE HOUSE - not so far that the body is not sure of making it back, see? When the body has returned, sprinkle salt on the other half of lemon and eat it. Then drink ALL the water POSSIBLE following same. Not before, but AFTER the last half is eaten. Then sit down, or lie down, and rest until the body feels entirely relaxed before the first meal is taken. Add only that. We will find this acid, combining with that as is created in system and as is being eliminated from system, will reduce not only the pulsation as caused from the reaction to the heart's forces, but will assist in CLEANSING system of the poisons from same." (4999-2)
I find that drinking hot lemon water in the morning is refreshing and makes you feel clean inside. I also found that after drinking hot lemon water in the morning I have little or no desire for coffee or cigarettes. As a matter of fact, lemon water is a great aid for quitting cigarettes. After drinking lemon water, you lose the desire to smoke as your mouth feels fresh and clean and the taste of cigarettes just seems so unappealing. If you want to quit, drink a little lemon water every time you start getting a crave. It just may work for you too!
