Either a fishy patent or there's something going on?

So a friend of mine just shared this on FB:

It's in reference to patent #5676977- "Method of curing AIDS with tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystal devices"
Source(s):

So has anyone heard anything about this? Anyone know anything about this? Apparently it's the cure for AIDS patent, not sure what's going on, not jumping to any conclusions, not making any assumptions, just curious if someone here knows about this, could shed some light, perhaps? 15 min of Googling and all I can find is conspiracy nuts, Infowars like junk, and long yet very poorly done YouTube video. Of course my friend that posted the picture is a little more libertarian than most, and tends to be a bit tin foil hatty at times. I'm really scratching my head on this and thought hmm, this might make for interesting discussion, or a massive beat down by the logical ones on the first tin foil hat wearing conspiracy nut (getting my hopes up for nynco on that... )
Just kidding nynco...
