protocols for the determination of extent of injury and reasonable and necessary health care. In 1991, John
concluded that the 1989 WC Act was adversarial and extremely prejudicial to the rights of employees injured in
the course and scope of employment. Using his personally developed protocols and strategies, he successfully
reduced workers' compensation and health care premiums by 20% to 60% without decreasing benefits or
enacting stringent claims procedures. This translated to an annual reduction in expenditures of $1 million dollars
in workers' compensation and $2.2 million dollars in health care benefits.
In 2000, John focused on the latest clinical discoveries in neurobiology as it applies to neuromuscular and
neurocardiovascular inflammation, neurotransmitter activity, and pain. He conducted a pilot study using a variety
of state-of-the-art neuromuscular electrical stimulators (NMES, TENS, FES, TES, IF, and Galvanic stimulation),
electromyographic biofeedback, and acupuncture. He identified modalities that accelerate the healing process.
John is a prominent bilingual cost containment strategist, a motivational speaker, and seminar leader who has
provided consulting services and training sessions, workshops and seminars to state agencies, municipalities,
industrial and commercial entities, state and national associations, unions, and other civic and social
organizations.
John has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Laredo Association for Human
