The Latest Industry News for the Exciting World of Production.

Customers of Mailbox Toluca Lake expect to see mailboxes, greeting cards and typical postal products ("Hello FedEx!'), but they might be surprised to also find remedies for throat ailments-tried and true products that professional vocalists and actors use. "Our proximity to Universal and surrounding studios has given us access to the clientele that demand the best of the best. We've done the research and are able to offer the collection of goods that the pros use," says Mailbox Toluca Lake owner Jonathan Kramer, known informally as "Dr. Voice" to the Superstars.

Kramer has been helping his famous clientele battle laryngitis, hoarseness and other throat maladies for decades. He remembers how his mother and sister suffered with chronic coughs and how homemade throat lozenges from Switzerland brought them relief. He stocks those lozenges-Grether's Pastilles, as well as Manuka honey, known as a natural antibiotic. Manuka stops the growth of sore throat-causing strep bacteria. Recently it has even been approved by the National Cancer Institute to be used to heal inflammation in the throat from chemotherapy.

Mailbox Toluca Lake proudly sells these products and others that address everything from stress, sleep issues and arthritis in addition to vocal challenges. "We have the lozenge, spray, tea or syrup to help you," says Kramer. For a complete line of products, visit mailboxtolucalake.com and click on "PRODUCTS CATALOG."
