I have to disagree, based upon my own experience. Generally a fish that is infested to the point that a hobbiest takes action is problably too far gone, however at that point a FWD is like giving an injection to someone who is being suffocated as far as stress goes.
A healthy fish has no problems with a FWD and doing so can illiminate parsitic species such as flukes that are imune to "ich" treatments. While I don't claim FWD to be a cure for C. Iritans etc I feel it can give instant relief from the actively feeding stage. Of course more treatment is required to illiminate the other life stages of the parasite.

Ps Terry, I have discussed some of these things with you before. Just wondering, what "scientific evidence" are you refering to.
