That is right, proper nutrition is useless against ich.
Ich is a disease caused by confinement that alters the dilution effect of the ocean. The dilution effect makes ich a mere brief parasite that leaves on its own as a part of its lifecycle. Only absent this dilution effect is ich a killer.
Actually, the impact of confinement is evident in many other diseases, but the case of ich is the most extreme.
The role of nutrition should be emphasised, but not over emphasised.
