To achieve what? There seems to be a difference in opinion as to what ppm
the solution should contain. What do you aim for?

This is good to know. Thanks! Does it matter how old that jump starter is?

Yes, it did have that flavor. Ya hoo, success! Of course I knew I had
success when the illness was gone within 5-10 minutes after drinking the
solution(probably had a bad bottle of ketchup---should have listened to
that "inner voice" that said "this ketchup is too old and you will get
sick"---actually, I am glad I ate it and found out that CS can work so
quickly on ?salmonella)

Thanks. This is what I wanted to know.
