This answers a few questions for me, but not all. Dr Bailey has never covered the questions of (1) Sepsis, which is life-threatening (2) Bacterial toxins, some of which are very deadly (eg. shiga toxin-producing E. coli—STEC).

This answers a few questions for me, but not all. Dr Bailey has never covered the questions of (1) Sepsis, which is life-threatening (2) Bacterial toxins, some of which are very deadly (eg. shiga toxin-producing E. coli—STEC). And of course we have all heard about the harmful effects of certain resident gut bacteria. Yet Dr Bailey paints only a picture of all microbes as harmless and beneficial. She really needs to address—or at least acknowledge—the concerns of more enquiring minds before they will consider supporting her.
She's a young woman with two children and a belief in life and health. Not sure how much time you think she has to address all diseases. She only addresses disease in the first place because humans in the west are so disease oriented rather than health oriented. Have you really watched every single Sam video and formed no sense of what she might say about sepsis?
As Dr Tom Cowan explains it (I'll do my best to paraphrase):
All bacteria are beneficial. Bacteria are there to remediate, to fix problems. Bacteria, as living entities, produce waste. The waste is toxic to our bodies, but our bodies are designed to process the usual waste.
When our body has a more serious problem, the amount of bacteria increase; the type of bacteria depends on the issue. This increase means a lot more toxic waste from the bacteria which gets us "sick".
The reason antibiotics "work" is because they kill off bacteria, which in turn reduces the bacteria waste. However, antibiotics do not address the root cause of the problem inside our body which caused the huge increase in bacteria. Taking antibiotics may make us feel better in the short term but if the bacteria were not given the chance to fix the problem things could get worse or recur.
This is why most people will get well on their own eventually, without antibiotics. The bacteria do their job fixing the problem. But yes, it can get uncomfortable & painful with the increase in bacteria waste.
This is also why surgery can help in serious cases eg serious lung infection. The surgeon removes a chunk of tissue including the bacteria waste.

I posted this above. Hope this helps:
