Detox ritual blamed for Holmes skin blotches

Many questions were raised about strange red blotches on Katie Holmes’ face shortly after her relationship with Tom Cruise was announced.

Now there are suggestions that the marks were due to a Scientology “detoxification” ritual.

The detox involves doses of the vitamin Niacin which helps purge the body of, well, er, negative alien substances. In large doses the vitamin-B complex can cause red blotches.

A Scientology official said: “Whatever you see on her face has got nothing to do with us. It’s insulting that you would ask such a thing.”
