Very good news here. I have been fightin mine at 25 lately and they wont come on down. my ATS is just about fully mature so I should be good.
 
Looks like the solution was vodka. I know when I did it, it took a long time to bring nitrates down. IME, be careful not to over dose vodka long term.
I dosed at a higher rate instead of gradually bumping up small amounts weekly. Now i am coming down on what i am dosing and monitoring daily to see where my stopping point will be
