When i use the salt/heat method, I use plain old tablesalt. I always dissolve it in water first and set up a kind of drip system with some air tubing to gradually introduce it into the tank. If you put salt directly into the tank, you risk burning your fish. Pretty much the entire ich article is right on. If you follow that, you will do just fine.
I did want to add that I have not lost a fish...or even a snail...when using the salt method.
