Entertainer's Secret

$11.63USD

Entertainers Secret Throat Relief is designed to moisturize, humidify and lubricate the mucous membranes of the throat and larynx.

The spray resulted from a collaborative effort of KLI Corporation and a Nashville otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat specialist) whose practice includes many singers and entertainers.

When these professionals' voices are at less than their best, careers and very livelihoods are at risk. Their goal was to develop a product which could protect the vocal apparatus and restore and maintain voice quality and comfort without doing harm.

After trying various ratios of a number of different ingredients, the final formulation of the product now known as Entertainer's Secret Throat Relief evolved. Once subsequent testing found it to be safe and effective, it was registered as a medical device by the FDA in the United States.

This unique, easy to use, non-medicinal throat spray:

  • Supplements the throat's natural moisturizers
  • Quickly comforts and soothes
  • Restores vocal quality safely and effectively

    Ingredients:
    Entertainers Secret is formulated to resemble natural secretions. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose, aloe vera gel and glycerin - each a proxy for a naturally secreted type of mucus (globular, strand and sheet) - are blended into a buffered, aqueous hypertonic solution. Unlike some other sore throat remedies, it does NOT contain numbing anesthetics, alcohol, antiseptics, analgesics, antihistamines, decongestants, anti-inflammatory agents or any other "medicinal" ingredient that can produce unwanted side effects. The improved honey-apple flavor imparts a pleasant mellow taste.

    Directions:
    Spray in the back of the throat while saying "AH-H-H". For relief and irritation deep in the throat, take a quick breath inward while spraying. To insure that the upper throat is reached: tilt the head slightly backward and spray twice into each nostril while quickly inhaling. Any brief "tingling" sensation will be quickly replaced by a pleasant soothing feeling. spray liberally and repeat as often as necessary to eliminate dryness.

    Why not just drink water?
    Drinking lots of water is good, a healthy and a smart idea for many reasons. Before extended periods of vocalizing one should drink a lot of water. But the water passes through the esophagus into the digestive system and must get into the circulatory system before it can be delivered to specific dehydrated areas such as the throat or larynx. Very little ingested water comes into direct contact with these dehydrated surfaces. Plus the body's mucous-secreting glands often just can't produce enough replacement moisturizing materials quickly enough to keep up with the increased need.

    Entertainer's Secret resembles natural mucosal secretions and is designed to moisturize, humidify and lubricate the mucous membranes of the throat and larynx.  Hydration is the most important quality a singer looks for in a spray.  Hydration can prevent most other ailments and symptoms singer’s experience. 

    When sprayed orally or nasally into the throat, Entertainer's Secret adjusts the thickness and flow of the mucus in the sinuses and the passageways of the nose and throat. Introduction of this solution helps mend the discomfort of a dry, sore, scratchy throat and the annoyance of a hoarse tired voice - and works to prevent further occurrences. The nose and throat not only moisturize incoming air but they also serve as filtering mechanisms. Tiny hairs in the nose called cilia are constantly moving back and forth. They sweep away particulate matter - such as dust, smoke or other pollutants - so it can’t enter the lungs. A moist passageway, lined with sticky mucus is a much more efficient filter than a dry one devoid of mucus.

    Entertainer's Secret is to dry throat and hoarse voice what lip balms are for chapped lips or what hand lotions are for skin that has become irritated or chapped due to exposure to detergents, solvents or chemicals. It is not a medication or a "cure" but it can help relieve throat and voice problems when dryness is a contributing factor.

    A common conversation with a singer on the phone goes like this:

    Customer: I’d like to order some Entertainer’s Secret.

    Operator: Okay, but first, if you will provide me some information I can make sure Entertainer’s Secret is the right product.  I want to make sure you get something that works.  What exactly prompted you to get Entertainer’s Secret?
    Customer:  My friend at church told me about it and I have noticed this mucous in the back of my throat making for a dead tone.

    Operator:  Well, you have called the right place then.  Let me explain what may be happening: The mucous is your body’s way of protecting your throat.  Usually caused by too little hydration.
    Customer:  I drink a gallon of water a day though.

    Operator: Your body relies on that water, but if you smoke, drink coffee or take any medication, it counters the water and dries you out, therefore the water isn’t enough to “protect” your throat.  Then you try to sing on a throat like dry leather, which cracks or gets irritated and inflamed.  Then…your body covers it with its own salve, (mucous), which is fine if you don’t have to sing or speak a lot

    Customer: So what do you suggest?
    Operator: Well, there is nothing better than Entertainer’s Secret for throat hydration and maintenance but Singer’s Saving Grace or Clear Voice do a better job of clearing the mucous out while providing some protection and encouraging healing.

    Customer:  Do they work together?
    Operator:  They work together very well.  Before warming up for the show, use the Singers Saving Grace or Clear Voice about 5-10 minutes before you sing and use the Entertainer’s Secret, immediately before going on and during the show.  Do you have allergies or colds a lot?

    Customer:  I have a cold now; which I think may be the problem too.
    Operator: Singers Saving Grace has Ocea Root which is supposed to have infectious fighting properties. It tastes like black licorice but works very well. 

    Customer:  how much do I need?
    Operator:  Normally someone that practices 3 times a week and performs on the weekend will use about 2-3 bottle of Entertainer’s Secret and 1 bottle of either Singers Saving Grace or Clear Voice per month.
    Customer:  All right then, send me three Entertainers Secret, one Singers Saving Grace and one Clear Voice
