  Warren Filley came to Oklahoma for his internal medicine residency at the OU Health Sciences Center after completing his medical degree at Kansas University School of Medicine. "I wasn't sure just how things would work out for me in Oklahoma," said Dr. Filley. Dr. Filley was overwhelmed by the friendliness of Oklahomans, especially Dr. Dennis Mask, a nephrologist at the OU Health Sciences Center.
  ...
  "It really was Dr. Mask who convinced me to come to Oklahoma in the beginning," said Dr. Filley.
  ...
  Dr. Filley also has allergies and so did their children who were OAAC patients. He became interested in allergies and asthma and decided to continue his medical career and become a researcher. At that point, Dr. Filley wasn't sure where he would eventually practice medicine. But while attending a University of Kansas alumni meeting in the late 1970's a fellow alumnus told him "Oklahoma will grow on you." Dr. Filley went to the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine in Minnesota to complete a fellowship in Allergy and Clinical Immunology. The couple almost stayed at the Mayo Clinic. However, Karen reminded her husband what that person had said about Oklahoma growing on them. They agreed it would be a great place to live and moved back to Oklahoma City to begin practice at the OAAC in 1982. Dr. Filley is a clinical professor of medicine at the OU Health Sciences Center. He is double boarded in Internal Medicine and Allergy/Immunology. He was recently named one of Oklahoma's top doctors in the June issue of Oklahoma Magazine. The information was gathered and released by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., a healthcare research and information company. Dr. Filley has served on the board of directors for the Oklahoma Garden Festival and the Oklahoma Horticultural Society as well as a past president of the Horticultural Society. He has been involved as a mentor for the Oklahoma City Youth Leadership Exchange and has been a member of their board of directors. He has served as a member of the Ad Hoc Committee for horticultural procurement for the Oklahoma City Zoological Trust. Currently, Dr. Filley is a member of the Myriad Gardens board of directors. Dr. Filley was instrumental in setting up the OAAC's certified allergy counting station. He served as Chairman of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology aerobiology committee and helped establish the National Allergy Bureau which is the only reliable pollen and mold counting network in the United States. "It has been a very enjoyable experience," said Dr. Filley of his 26 years in practice. "I enjoy the clinical practice - seeing the patients and making people feel better." Karen is executive director of the Edmond Public Schools Foundation. The Filleys' children have grown up and moved away. Mark lives in Japan teaching English and Alison is completing her graduate degree in fine arts at the University of Iowa. "It's a fun place to work - the staff and the doctors I work with," he said. Oh and who was that fellow alumnus who sat next to Dr. Filley at that Kansas University Alumni meeting?
  ...
  At OAAC, Dr. Warren Filley is the AAAAI Station Director. The count station is tested and certified by the American Academy of Allergists and Immunologists and must be recertified every five years.

  "Just because it's a natural remedy, doesn't mean it's harmless," says Warren V. Filley, MD, an allergist in private practice in Oklahoma City and clinical professor of medicine at the University of Oklahoma.
  
  What works?
  
  The following is a list of commonly recommended natural remedies for allergies and asthma and what experts say about them.
  
  Honeybee pollen.It's believed that honeybee pollen stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies to reduce allergic reactions.
  ...
  Filley says bee pollen and royal jelly, which is essentially a bee product, don't do anything to help allergies.
  
  "As a general rule, most insect-pollinated plants don't cause a lot of allergy.Most allergens are wind-pollinated plants, not insect," Filley says.In addition, he says there have been cases of people having severe allergic reactions and going in to anaphylactic shock because of bee pollen.
  
  ...
  According to Filley, large amounts can cause high blood pressure and aggravate diseases of the thyroid, kidney, liver or heart.
  
  Chinese Ephedra. (Ma huang).The primary active ingredient of ma huang is ephedrine, which was a staple of standard medical management of asthma in the United States for several decades.Ephedrine, which relaxes bronchial muscles, is still available over the counter for nasal congestion (as a spray or jelly) and in capsules with or without prescriptions as a bronchodilator.
  
  The Food and Drug Administration has proposed limits on ephedrine levels in supplements and warning labels recommending ephedra products be taken for no more than seven days.
  
  "Ephedra is not a good drug,'' Filley says, noting that it has been associated with all sorts of adverse effects, including high blood pressure, seizures, and heart palpitations, and over use or abuse of it has been linked to some deaths.
  
  Omega-3 fatty acids.These acids found in fish oil are believed to act as natural anti-inflammatories, which can be beneficial in treating asthma.
  ...
  "There are home remedies, some don't-cost-you- anything maneuvers that can be very helpful,'' says Filley, "and they won't interfere with your blood pressure."
  
  All three experts – Filley, DerMarderosian, and Ivker - recommend environmental controls – such as using air filters to reduce exposure to dog dander or dust mites allergens, which are allergy and asthma triggers for many people, or to pollutants that irritate their condition.
