What's diamagnetic semiconducting molecular crystal tetrasilver tetroxide?

Method of curing AIDS with tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystal devices

Abstract

The diamagnetic semiconducting molecular crystal tetrasilver tetroxide (Ag.sub.4 O.sub.4) is utilized for destroying the AIDS virus, destroying AIDS synergistic pathogens and immunity suppressing moieties (ISM) in humans. A single intravenous injection of the devices is all that is required for efficacy at levels of about 40 PPM of human blood. The device molecular crystal contains two mono and two trivalent silver ions capable of “firing” electrons capable of electrocuting the AIDS virus, pathogens and ISM. When administered into the bloodstream, the device electrons will be triggered by pathogens, a proliferating virus and ISM, and when fired will simultaneously trigger a redox chelation mechanism resulting in divalent silver moieties which chelate and bind active sites of the entities destroying them. The devices are completely non-toxic. However, they put stress on the liver causing hepatomegaly, but there is no loss of liver function.

Yes, I know that the Patent Office routinely grants patents for things that haven’t been proven to work, and my question is not “does it work”, because obviously, if it did, we would have heard about it in the last 10 years (unless of course Kevin Trudeau is right and the pharmaceutical cartel is suppressing it… [dons tinfoil hat]… )

Anyway. My question concerns the substance involved, the impressively named thingie in the thread title. Mindful of the way it’s possible to frighten the credulous by telling them about all the dihydrogen monoxide in their food, I wondered if “diamagnetic semiconducting molecular crystal tetrasilver tetroxide” was also something fairly ordinary, like talcum powder, or something. That “tetrasilver tetraoxide” sounds to the lay person suspiciously like “the stuff you clean off your wedding silver once a month”.

If you toss your silveware into the fireplace, it’ll burn to a compound called Silver oxide, Ag[sub]2[/sub]O. Depending on how carefully you do the oxidation, you’ll also get some AgO, AgO[sub]2[/sub], Ag[sub]2[/sub]O[sub]3[/sub], Ag[sub]3[/sub]O[sub]4[/sub], etc.
Silver II oxide, AgO or silver peroxide isn’t particularly stable, but it does form crystals which might be called tetrasilver tetroxide. The redox chemistry of the stuff means you end up with messy conglomerations of stuff, rather than a single pur compund, but you do get something whic is a poor conductors of electricity, a semiconductor.

Thanks for the info. So, browsing around under “siilver peroxide”, I see that it isn’t one of your ordinary everyday substances. That’s what I wanted to know, thanks.
