Many ich cure posts are based solely on anecdotal evidence - however the vast majority of people who swear by "reef safe" ich cures are unaware that ich naturally falls off a fish in about a week.

Here's a good link which discusses ich .. and more importantly its life cycle which is key to some of the controversy about ich.
