The diet is revised every two weeks if necessary but is not a lifelong diet. The diet includes only WFPB foods so I would not worry about any serious deficiencies being caused over the duration of the diet. The diet allows certain foods in unlimited portions (mostyl fiber rich vegetables and greens) but food containg carbs are restricted so that the total carb intake does not exceed 100g a day. A slightly excess amount of fiber in the diet leads to reduced hunger, thereby making sure that one can stick easily to the three meal a day plan. I doubt if the diet actually provides enough calories by itself. The diet by may calculation still leaves a shortfall of about 500 - 700 kcal a day which adds up to around 3 to 6 pounds of fat a month, a lot like with the Newcastle diet. As for the pill for element C, there could be a lot of factors for its unavailability. It is likely that Element C has not yet been exactly identified, isolated etc. Ancient cultures are full of dos and donts when it comes to food. The sheer explosion in the food "industry" over the past 40 odd years though has made us completely disregard those.
