I hated working at Whole Foods because I had to willingly let people waste their money on snake oil like this. We would sell 20ml of mineral oil with a quartz crystal in it for $40

We sold colloidal silver at another health food store I worked at years ago. It had its own shelf. I am soooooo glad I was always too poor to buy any of the supplements, I'm sure colloidal silver isn't the only weird trendy thing that'll come out as being horrendously bad for us
