Dr. Vatsala S. Sastry
Part 7: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Dr. Vatsala S. Sastry
Brooksville, FL -- Close Up Radio, proudly continues its special series on infectious disease specialist Dr. Vatsala Sastry, with additional shows beginning on Friday April 17th at 9am Eastern hosted by Jim Masters.
This additional show focuses on the growing concern surrounding Coronavirus (COVID-19), and provide our listeners with expertise from Dr. Sastry’s three decades of experience.
“I absolutely never give up on my patients,” says Dr. Sastry. “My job is to diagnose anything related to an infection. I’m not a “pill mill” doctor instead I make certain to methodically diagnose underlying causes and I steadfastly persevere no matter what obstacles and complications may exist.”
“Infectious diseases for the most part are diagnosable, treatable, readily available, and most of the time it’s a reversible illness,” says Dr. Sastry.
Infectious diseases occur more profusely when our immune system does not function properly when outside bacteria can gain access into our bodies. Fortunately, our bodies possess a remarkably strong immune system that is able to propitiously protect us, provided that we are healthy individuals.
“In order for people to maintain healthy immune systems they must also be mentally positive,” says Dr. Sastry. “Suffering from depression negatively impacts our physical bodies. In order to prevent diseases, it’s also absolutely vital to eat healthy, exercise daily, avoid smoking and definitely limit your alcohol consumption.”
“I strongly urge everyone to have the upmost love and respect for your body and learn how to keep yourself in the best possible shape so you can have the most purposeful life,” says Dr. Sastry.
Dr. Joy Kong
Part 4: CUTV News Radio Welcomes Back Regenerative Medicine Pioneer Dr. Joy Kong
Los Angeles, CA -- Dr. Kong is putting the finishing touches to her memoir, Tiger of Beijing, and you will notice many of the symbolic qualities of the tiger in this masterful woman. Dr. Kong is like the tiger because she follows what beats in her heart. At first that was the idea of being a healer and making a difference for humanity, more recently it has been to bring understanding and trust to the concept of stem cell therapy.
Dr. Kong is the CEO of an organization known as Chara Biologics and also leads Thea Center for Regenerative Medicine. She wants people to realize that the future of medicine comes from our origins, stem cells.
Dr Kong stresses that when she delivers treatment, it is the DNA and intelligence within the cells that signal the body to respond and repair itself. The most important stem cells in our body are Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), and they have the capacity to travel through vasculature to the exact location of where they are needed. For someone suffering from COPD that would be the lungs, for someone with osteoarthritis the joint area, for one who suffered a traumatic brain injury, the brain. People are still slow to embrace this, but there is highly active research worldwide that proves cell science not only works, it can be applied safely and responsibly.
Dr. Kong is going to tell us more about stem cell therapy, how regenerative medicine works overall, and share case histories and testimonials. She will arm listeners with the kind of knowledge that once only doctors were privy to. And she will relate her struggle to come to America, her medical education and experiences here, and all that can be found in her new memoir.

Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Dr. Vasilike Rauch of Professional Hearing Management
Valparaiso, IN - Professional Hearing Management, a leading audiology practice founded by Dr. Vasilike Rauch, is proud to announce the launch of its advanced audiologist services designed to provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing hearing loss and tinnitus.

Under the guidance of Dr. Vasilike Rauch, a renowned audiologist with an extensive background working in neurotology, Professional Hearing Management offers a deeper understanding of hearing mechanisms that is dismantling common misconceptions surrounding hearing loss and tinnitus.
“With my lifelong dedication to audiology, I understand that our approach must transcend the standard beeping tests and basic hearing aid fittings,” says Dr. Rauch. “Many people are inaccurately informed that mild hearing loss or persistent tinnitus is irreversible or simply a part of aging. At Professional Hearing Management, we know these assertions are untrue, and we actively work to provide solutions that improve our patients’ quality of life.”
Breaking Down the Barriers of Tinnitus and Hearing Loss
Tinnitus, often misunderstood as merely a symptom of aging, is more accurately a sign of underlying hearing dysfunction, according to Dr. Rauch. Whether young or old, people experiencing tinnitus are frequently dismissed by healthcare providers. However, Professional Hearing Management approaches this auditory concern with a unique understanding of its underlying mechanisms.
“Tinnitus is not merely a byproduct of hearing loss but an alarm from the brain indicating potential damage within the inner ear,” explains Dr. Rauch. “Our tailored diagnostics and treatments identify and mitigate these issues before they evolve into more pronounced hearing impairments.”
Statistically, 80% of Professional Hearing Management’s patients with tinnitus experience successful treatment outcomes. Even those with aggressive forms of tinnitus are supported through interdisciplinary strategies, integrating therapies with psychologists and psychiatrists to address the auditory dysfunction holistically.
Innovative Approach to Audiology Care
Drawing from her tenure as a director at the prestigious Ear Institute of Chicago, Dr. Rauch brings an unparalleled level of expertise and experience handling complex auditory cases to her practice. This comprehensive background ensures that Professional Hearing Management is equipped to handle not only standard audiological care but also advanced procedures like electro-physiology, vestibular rehabilitation, and cochlear implant evaluations.
Every patient undergoes a thorough diagnosis to accurately identify their specific needs. Dr. Rauch’s diagnostic acumen and ability to recognize the onset of hearing devices requirement or specialized hearing treatment set Professional Hearing Management apart. This patient-centric approach ensures that individuals receive the precise care necessary for their condition.
Understanding Hearing Loss and Tinnitus
Age-related hearing decline, compounded by environmental and genetic factors, makes address auditory health proactively imperative. From cardiovascular health issues to ototoxic medications, various factors contribute to the progressive degeneration of the ear.
Dr. Rauch shares, “Hearing loss and tinnitus are multifaceted concerns. Our world is much noisier today, and factors like post-industrial noise, medications, and underlying health issues accelerate hearing degeneration. When a patient experiences any sign of tinnitus, it’s essential to understand that as an indicator of possible internal ear damage.”
Professional Hearing Management is committed to educating patients and the public about the significant advancements in understanding and treating these auditory conditions. Through seminars, workshops, and community engagement, the practice seeks to empower individuals with knowledge and access to modern audiological solutions.
