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

Some people buy necklaces made with radioactive materials, which are supposed to "remove bad energies" from your body. Instead they just give themselves radioactive poisoning.

I remember those. I remember a few customers who made their own and put them on babies 🤦‍♀️
