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.
