In the old days we (Aryans) used to have a silver spoon or something else of silver in the well. That way some silver were mixing with the water.
There was also the saying, born with a silver spoon in his, her mouth. This is true. Back in the days, rich people put a silver spoon in their babies mouths, to protect them against illness.
Adults could also literally walk around with a silver spoon in mouth.
Before big pharma.
