Do people still drink that silver-laced water? I remember Dad being a fan of it many years ago.
Somehow putting METAL into your body never appealed to me!

Yeah, me neither. We knew a guy who swore by colloidal silver. His skin actually took on a subtle bluish-gray tint over time.
But it does have real medicinal properties, silver-iodide for instance.
When digital photography became the norm, and film became scarce, a huge market for silver disappeared.
Wiki:
Silver iodide is an inorganic compound with the formula AgI. The compound is a bright yellow solid, but samples almost always contain impurities of metallic silver that give a gray coloration. The silver contamination arises because some samples of AgI can be highly photosensitive. This property is exploited in silver-based photography. Silver iodide is also used as an antiseptic and in cloud seeding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overindulgence in silver can cause discoloration in a person's skin, namely turning bluish-gray color.

Colloidal silver:
If you can see it it’s no good imo. The best stuff is clear cuz it’s too small to catch light. Colloidal silver is like shooting at birds with buck shot vs bird shot. Nano silver is the stuff to use. It is clear but shine a laser into it and it illuminates the laser light.
Silver blocks the oxygen uptake of microorganisms whereupon they die. Very effective against bacteria, germs, etc. but not so much with viruses.
But even colloidal silver works on most bacteria, like cuts, infections, tooth infections etc. It’s great on athlete’s foot. Seems to work vs. all bacteria and some viruses. I use it on my dogs too.
I keep both in my medical bin. Silver has tons of medical uses. The ‘blue man’ phenomena was with large, non medicinal silver solution. A deliberate smear campaign by Big Pharma I’ve been told. I’ve been using nano and colloidal for years. Saved me a tooth or two and a ton of Dr. visits and meds.
I also use nano silver in gardening. Mixed with water in a sprayer it’s great for fungus, mold and small insects on my orange tree.
Bottom line it works and saves me time and money.
I bought a 2 nano silver generators years ago and crank them up whenever I run low on it.
