So goes my theory that EIS/CS negative charge contributes to

  Maybe not.
There goes the idea that the CS has a negative charge "in the bottle" and "after a while". Ion exchange and relative charges 'in vivo' or in the presence of pathogens is a whole 'nother story. The mainstream is chasing ion exchange like mad men splashing in puddles. We may just be wading in it up to our necks by sheer accident.

The hydroxyl anions associated with silver ions can make a very unstable compound out of the silver.
 Metallic silver can be re-ionized under various conditions.
The body and pathogens is a conditional soup where anything that can happen, probably does and no one thing is the limit. Silver in its varied forms and compounds could work one way, then turn around and work backwards another way, then make a right, then left turn to work yet another set of ways in a progression of reactions and interaction with an ever changing electro-chemical environment. [Chemical reactions can be stated as electronic equations and still say the same things ..not that I quite understand or completely comprehend either way of looking at it. ;-)]

Very fresh CS is obviously "different" than CS that's only several hours old.
This is easily provable.
What that difference means "In use" "By whom" "Used how" and "For what" isn't so obvious.

If there's one thing one could say about CS/EIS ...it's, it never stays the same under sufficiently different conditions.
 It's dynamic.

Which also could explain why for some people used in some applications it's a fantastic miracle and for some it's ho hum. The deeper you go into the soup, the more varied the conditions, change and exchange probabilities . The less that it encounters to change it for better or worse, [ direct surface contact] the more it works predictably.

 Some swear by one thing and some swear at it.
Your set of rules in this game may well not apply to *anyone* else without doing some creative editing and maybe even your set is constantly changing with a progression of conditions that *using* the silver sets into motion.

Dosing and methods of use recommendations I've seen often make no sense at all....and perhaps they shouldn't.

Are prescription meds any different?
Why does the Doc give you a bomb when a pellet would have done, then change that to a missile? ....then it's a prayer that cures ya.

  EIS/CS doesn't have a "charge" [as commonly promoted as
ionic charge ]
after a few hours.
Once all the ions find the anions made at the same time,
it's over all
charge neutral and particle repulsion is presented by weak
Vandervals
forces, not "ionic charge".  Being extremely chemically
active, it's not
likely that many, if any, "free ions" exist after a few
hours.
  What ions get stripped off in vivo and -become- ionically
charged
-again-..and what that does, is a subject for many guesses.
  It is, however, generally stable on the shelf for years
if only pure
water is present.
In the presence of other substances, it's not very stable.
Ions strip easily.
