I'll cast another vote for the Brownell's salts. They have worked fine for me for years. Just follow their directions. As to the "dislike" of things Brownells by Dr. Gaddy, I spoke with both parties about their ongoing small dispute. Dr. Gaddy essentially did not like anything about Brownells from top to bottom. He as much as said so. Apparently there was an old dispute between them. The folks at Brownells (now this was a number of years ago, before Dr. Gaddy passed) were quite aware of the difference of opinion, but would not discuss it.

At that time, as well as now, I was of the opinion tht Brownells took "the high road" when asked about the dispute. At any rate, their nitre salts are a good product when used according to the directions. The pink stuff is a coloring agent so you can keep nitre sales apart from other salts.
