That statement is very inacurate!
You can be completely ich free if you don't introduce it again. By leaving the tank fallow for 8 weeks you will have an ich free tank. Then by QTing all the fish that come in you will be sure nver to have it again.
Ich needs fish to live and reproduce with out them they will just die out.
I've heard some people say that they got an ich outbreak in thier tank cuz the temp went up or down drastically due to equipment failure but that's only because the ich was already there to begin with...
