The real thing of note, in those 12 years no one (I repeat, no one) has shown ginger to actually work. Yet, for some bizarre reason people keep trying it, instead of using methods that are actually known to work

Ginger root is known to contain powerful anti parasitic compounds that should be effective against many species of Protozoa so this does make some sense.

Wish me luck and please refrain from the "you can't kill ich with anything short of planetary annihilation" talk. Lol

This makes me so sad - it is like you didn't even read the thread. That said, what the hell is revive?

It's another so called reef safe anti parasite treatment from the makers of "No-Ich", which is a so called reef safe ich treatment...

The only revive I know in the hobby is the coral dip...I am not sure if people are now using it to cure ich...

That product contains some formaldehyde 2% and isn't marketed as even being effective for marine ich.

Post hoc reasoning strikes again.
