Ted Carrick, a chiropractic neurologist who worked with NHL star Sidney Crosby, videotaped Torres’s eye movements and determined that her eyes responded slowly to moving patterns. Her inability to focus efficiently, she was told, was essentially expending energy and making her tired. Carrick sent her home with exercises designed to eliminate gaps in her perception. Since then, three times a day, she follows a red dot as it moves in a pattern across a screen. Jeoff Drobot, the medical director of the Calgary Centre for Naturopathic Medicine, recommended that she use an oxygen concentrator (EWOT machine) to breathe pure oxygen while riding a stationary bike three times a week, hoping to flush out toxins. She subjects herself to electric shock therapy thrice weekly in the hope of stimulating her cells. She sleeps with a magnetic device under her mattress; it emits a frequency said to induce a more restful, healing sleep.
