Ken, I think, at least for myself, that the point is to remove the white dots from my fish. The life cycle of a parasite is interesting and all, but I just want the spots off my fish.
When I treated my tang for a heavy infestation of white spots, I chose garlic. I didn't believe in it, but thought what the heck. Well, the spots went away and have not returned in 18 months. So if they've been hiding in my tank for that long, they can stay. My fish are happy (other than bad breath issues) and I'm happy that the spots are gone. You can add all the science and background info you want to that, but in the end, garlic made spots go away.
