Unhealthy, because it makes you sick.
Quacks, because of the nonsense excuses used to justify the ill effects.

It's not a diet, it's a protocol you do for a while.

I do, however, am pretty sure that you can have extreme positive effects. Not because it is so special, but just because you give the digestive system a rest and therefore the body can devote more energy to healing. That's why fasting works. That's why the hippocrates diet works. That's why calorie restriction works. That's why people get well on SAD when other important factors for health get in their favour. Etc..
