Drinking enough water each day—pure water, stressed Cayce—is vital to colon health. Finding a source of pure water is even more of a challenge today. If there is not an adequate intake of water, the stool dries out, causing constipation and toxic overload of the capillary blood circulation. Cayce often stated that sufficient water intake—generally six to eight glasses a day—(not soda, fruit juice, coffee, or tea) would help correct constipation.

How and when water is consumed is just as important as the quantity. Liquids should be taken up to thirty minutes before a meal or two hours afterwards, so the digestive enzymes will not be diluted. Instead of chewing our food thoroughly, we have a tendency to wash it down with liquids. Cayce said this habit of bolting food causes more colds than any other poor diet practice.

To aid digestion, alkalinize the system, help the eliminations, and prevent poisons from accumulating in the system, the readings often suggest squeezing the juice from a rolled lemon (pressing while rolling the lemon back and forth on a hard surface to loosen the juice inside) into a glass of body-temperature water and drinking it at least 30 minutes before breakfast.
