Yes... and no.
The aspects of the detox that involve cutting down the amount of junk food and fast food you eat is absolutely healthy for an average teenager. Increased energy, faster metabolism, and lessened cravings are also fantastic advantages for teens. Encouraging young people to eat whole foods like raw veggies, nuts, and less excessive sugars and salts is incredibly helpful in developing better eating habits for their future. Take a step back from the Big Mac; eat a rice cake with some almond butter instead!

However, the detox also bans things like refined sugars and flours, which can be unhealthy, but when part of a balanced diet that includes proper proportions of all food groups, can be beneficial. It is unnecessary to completely eliminate all refined sugars and flours, as well as acidic tropical fruits and all milk products. For developing teenagers, a more balanced diet that includes all of these foods is preferable. It is also arguable that teens need not take herbal supplements, especially laxatives, as they interfere with the body's natural "detox" (aka the work of the kidneys and colon). Another point is that most teens do not need to lose weight, like this detox is aimed at. Overall, I believe this detox might be something helpful to use as a general guideline for proper eating, but cannot be closely followed as a teenager.

Prepare to be snack-ish!
Keep whole foods around the house if you feel like munching... stay away from the potato chips and say yes to things like raw veggies, homemade hummus, brown rice cakes, raw nuts (especially almonds), and plain popcorn. It is also encouraged to drink herbal and green teas as a source of caffeine instead of coffee.
Another aspect to be aware of is the lack of options (corresponding to the detox) that exist in the restaurant world. It is best to shop, plan and prepare meals at home for yourself. Time to clear your schedule!
The most important tip during the Wild Rose Detox is to drink lots of water; it will help speed up your metabolism and overall contribute to each of its benefits!

1. Lessens cravings for unhealthy foods.
2. Nice and short; a fairly easy program to commit to.
3. Increases the amount of whole foods in your diet.
4. Lessens "bloated" feeling associated with consumption of unhealthy foods.
5. Minimal cooking involved, considering the detox highly encourages the consumption of raw, whole foods.
6. Most people that try out the Wild Rose Detox observe increased energy and lessened feelings of fatigue. That is, after the program kicks in at about 5 days in.
7. Unlike juice cleanses, you're allowed to eat solid foods, keeping you somewhat "regular," if you know what I mean.

1. Too short.
Some dieticians argue that the Wild Rose Detox program is too short to be an effective "cleanse." They prefer detoxes that are 30 days or longer, as those are supposed to have longer lasting, better results.
2. Too ambitious.
This detox claims that it will restore your body to its natural PH level in just 12 days. This isn't true; foods alone do not affect one's PH level, and especially not in such a short time frame.
3. The side effects.
Participants of the Wild Rose detox often experience low energy, headaches, fatigue, and must take frequent trips to the bathroom (during the first 5 or so days).

This "cleanse" is a 12-day program created by Canadian clinical herbalist Dr. Terry Willard PhD, involving 4 types of herbal supplements (3 in tablet form, 1 in liquid form) and elimination of certain foods. The package of supplements costs $39 in a local health food store.
