The Epstein-Barr Virus Solution: The Hidden Undiagnosed Epidemic of a Virus Destroying Millions of Lives through Chronic Fatigue, Autoimmune Disorders, and Cancer

by Kasia Kines

From the Best Selling author Dr. Kasia Kines. Take your life back! For anyone suffering from Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, Infectious Mononucleosis, or other mystery illnesses, this is a must read! Do you feel lost and hopeless, living a life of illness with no answers? Do you feel unsupported by your medical team, left to suffer alone with no guidance? Are you searching for solutions to get your health and life back on track? Finally, a book that speaks to both the medical community and people inflicted by both mono and chronic conditions caused by EBV! The expanse of this pivotal book is far reaching – many people may not yet know they have been infected with EBV (commonly known as the “kissing disease”), but yet they struggle every day with chronic symptoms such as severe brain fog, debilitating fatigue, headaches, fever, chills, sore throat, body aches, and abdominal discomfort and can’t seem to find a successful treatment solution. Eventually, some go on to develop autoimmune disorders, e.g. Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, or Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and even cancer and are told that their immune system is simply confused and is now attacking itself, left with no solutions or hope for recovery. Alarmingly, chronic EBV infection is almost completely missed in medical practice, and as a result of never being tested, misinterpreting the test results, not being diagnosed, or being mis-diagnosed by their doctors, millions of people suffer debilitating conditions for many years with no answers. But this suffering can be avoided. And with this book, answers can be found. Author Dr. Kasia Kines is considered by her colleagues to be “one of the most brilliant, and importantly, clinically experienced functional nutritionists in the world.” In Epstein-Barr Virus Solution, Dr. Kines provides a groundbreaking examination of EBV and not only how it causes chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer but also how recovery is possible. This book was written in hopes that it will globally change the way EBV is understood, diagnosed, and treated. The deep journey into the existing research sheds light on the EBV virus for both the seasoned medical community and the layperson. Along with the validated research, Epstein-Barr Virus Solution presents practical, time-tested, and evidence-based clinical solutions for the testing and medical nutrition therapy for EBV, testing and lab interpretation, unique supplementation protocols, recovery strategies for stress, insomnia, fatigue, and toxicity, pantry and kitchen rehab for EBV, and delicious anti-EBV recipes. Through Dr. Kines’ compassionate guidance, readers will feel confident to discuss their concerns with their doctor, to ask for testing, and to take their lives back from EBV. Epstein-Barr Virus Solution urges medical providers to hear their clients’ concerns and provides the medical community with the research and insights needed to avoid misdiagnosis and common problems with testing for EBV. Epstein-Barr Virus Solution was made possible because of Dr. Kines’ long-standing expertise as a functional clinical nutritionist who has dedicated her practice to working with clients inflicted by EBV. Dr. Kines tells readers in easy-to-understand language that recovery and hope for better health are possible through targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes. Readers are given a toolkit full of practical advice and guidance, including exclusive materials from Dr. Kines’ life-changing 30-Day Detox Program that she has taught successfully for over 10 years. The research is out there, and Dr. Kasia Kines has found it, synthesized it, and utilized it to implement successful treatment protocols in her own clinic. Clients who had suffered years with chronic EBV infection symptoms are now recovering and living their lives.

This book is a roller coaster. It's like having a one-sided conversation with your somewhat arrogant, condescending friend who means well but really just wants to tell you how to live your life (hint: you're doing it wrong). Alarmists are going to have a hard time with this book, as practically everything in modern society is bad for you. Try to read past that, as a too-literal reading will likely lead to anxious collapse. There's good in the book, no doubt, and I found the most valuable sections to be those that talk about diet/nutrient deficiencies and how to work toward resolving those.

However, reader beware: as the author states, EBV co-occurs with many other ailments and it can be hard to tease out what dis-ease is causing which symptom. There's a lack of being mindful of that in this book. For example, I'm also dealing with POTS and some of the "solutions" she recommends would be profoundly detrimental to managing that. Any piece of advice you take from this book, do 10x more research before proceeding.

Why? Because this book is the definition of a minimum viable product. She did a good job in compiling ideas and shipping it out to an eager audience. But now the world desperately needs Ms. Kines to hire a good editor and make a version two that cleans up the tone, and more importantly, forces her to bring more data to the table. I was disturbed by the number of instances that can be paraphrased as, "here's some really specific details of things and actions I want you to take. However I can't find the original source or citation for where I got this info. But just trust me!" or "What I'm telling you right now is practically ancient wisdom, but I can't be bothered with the details of that, just do it!". I would have prefered this book be 2-3 times as long if it just included some of this key contextual information.

Last, there's an interesting theme of middle and upper class assumptions and contradictions running through this book. The abridged version: "Get a massage weekly even though I just said a few pages ago that I know you are too tired to even walk to your mailbox or work, which is why I insist you have your friends do your grocery shopping, you simply cut them a check! But for the love of all things, don't park your car in your garage or bring your golf shoes into the house and quit licking golf balls!" Um, what? Where is all this time and money coming from? And who the hell is licking golf balls?

Like I said, she needs an editor to help her organize her ideas, be mindful of tone, and hit the pause button on the next publication until the context is more robust.

Saved my life.

If you or a loved one has chronic active Epstein-Barr, this book is a must read. I highly recommend that you purchase the paperback version so you can highlight and write notes in the margins. This book has the potential to change your life. In my case, I've already been doing many of the things Dr. Kines recommends, like eating lots of vegetables, using essential oils, and getting plenty of rest. However, I haven't been doing them exactly in the way she recommends, so for me, minor tweaks to my regimen have already yielded huge results, and I've only been at this for 3 weeks. Thank you, Dr. Kines, for pouring your life's work into this book. It shows that you care deeply about this topic and about the people whose lives might be wrecked by this illness, which is, as you so eloquently demonstrate, manageable, but only if you are armed with the right information.

This book saved my life. By following her regiment, I put Epstein-Barr back into dormancy in 8-weeks. It's a finely researched miracle of a book.

Will report back after a few weeks of implementation

Extremely helpful. Lots of great resources for those suffering from chronic EBV.

[Megan Kophamer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an incredible book. Whether you have EBV or not, you can learn a lot from this book. Turn your body into a virus-shredding machine!

[Wendy · Rating 2 out of 5]

It seems from the reviews that this book has saved a lot of people's lives, so that is wonderful.

I found it...somewhat extreme. Everything in our world reactivates EBV (toxins, diet, microwaving food etc) and EBV is at the core of a magnitude of diseases. Way too general, felt I was being asked to take things on faith. I am not too good at that.

Anyway, I got some good things from this but generally, I was left with the feeling this was all pretty woo-woo. Cut out gluten, dairy, microwaving, meat, alcohol, and stress, and you will be right as rain.

Hmmm. Felt that Kines was tone-deaf and righteous.

So, not for me.

This is an excellent book with great information that you can apply to your life to reduce your toxic load, support your body, and put EBV back into dormancy. I blew through the book and found it a very exciting read! I did not find her tone condescending — I personally greatly enjoyed Dr Kines’s tone and positive attitude, and I think anyone else suffering from EBV or anyone serious about reducing their toxic load will also find it very encouraging and helpful!

[Heather · Rating 5 out of 5]

It can come off a bit super-hippy-healthy at times, and it is, but when you struggle with an illness it’s better to have every single option listed out for you. A lot in this book that I couldn’t find elsewhere online. I learned a lot from this book and would recommend it to anyone dealing with EBV.

[Michelle Cecchini · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are looking for answers, this is a comprehensive guide that will take you step by step to free you of your EBV symptoms. I have been following many suggestions and have improved significantly.

[Deidre · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some good ideas but could use a good editor and some compassion counseling. The audience for this info is particularly vulnerable and desperate for hope. Not everyone has access to her treatments.
