Treating ICH with Mysis & Garlic?

[fixerupper]

FWIW. Had an ich outbreak a while back when I introduced a coral beauty. Nothing else was affected but the few spots on the CB seemed to be slowly increasing. After a bunch of reading I decided to mix some fresh crushed garlic with some Pacifica plankton. (We don't have option to quarantine or use low salinity treatments.) The ich seemed to get better overnight and symptoms disappeared within the week. Undoubtedly the parasite was/is still present in my tank but it really seemed to control the symptoms quite well. Later when I added a mimic tang, ich expressed itself again and overnight the new tang developed the worst case I could imagine. It was loaded with spots, cloudy bulging eyes and couldn't swim straight. I mixed up the garlic with the frozen food and added some fresh zested ginger. Luckily, the tang was able to eat this because it sure wasn't interested in any other foods. The symptoms were clearly much less severe within a day and cleared up within the week. I'm certain the garlic/ginger/plankton blend didn't eradicate the ich but it sure does work to mitigate the symptoms. No other corals or fish seemed negatively affected as far as I could tell so I really don't see a downside. Interestingly, the critters in my tank seem to love it so I occasionally treat the fish to this blend from time to time. Last apparent ich symptoms were 6 months ago. For the record: I'm just expressing my experiences as it pertains to the ich symptoms in my tank. I don't believe that this cures ich.
