You are right. Detox diets should be used for eliminating the toxins...which they're called detox diets after all. Emphasis on the detox and not the diet. A friend of mine who has psoriasis did this before sticking to a really healthy diet and while it did not cure his condition (no cure for psoriasis) it, along with the new balanced diet, helped prevent itch attacks. Detox diets are useful for some but should always be done only under a doctor's supervision
