The only way to cure it really is to remove all of your fish and to QT them with copper. Your Display tank must remain absolutely fish less for up to 2 months (cant remember the exact time) and the ick will complete its life cycle and die off because it hasnt found that.
The other alternative is to simply live with it. Keep your fish healthy and well fed and they can fight it off naturally. Garlic, vitamins, clean water etc all promote happy healthy fish but the ich is never really gone.
It is kind of like humans with the common cold.
