Of course not: No fad diet will have much effect. Generally, you'll do well to avoid anybody who's telling you about "detoxification" or "removing poisons"; if you're scientifically literate you'll recognize these are all hucksters. Why not do yourself a favor and get with your physician; all acne's fairly easy to manage nowadays. Good luck.
