Some of the reported effects include enhanced recovery in chronically and terminally ill people, pain reduction, and changes in blood chemistry. The healing effects from interacting with dolphins range form increased relaxation to the stimulation of the immune system. There have been reports of changes in body tissue from the dolphin s sonar. The healing powers of joy and the unconditional love expressed by the dolphins plays a major role in the healing process. The stimulation of the production of neurotransmitters and endorphins can be measured as well as T-cell counts.
Studies show that brain waves change after swimming with dolphins.
Scientists have measured a greater harmony between the left and right sides of the brain after interaction with dolphins. There are many theories about dolphins and their healing response. One theory is that the sounds the dolphins produce through their whistles and clicks effect the body in the same way that sound and music therapy does. Some say that the dolphin s use of sonar and echolocation produces changes in the body s tissue and cell structure. The sound waves produced by the dolphins in communication and echolocation seems to stimulate healing.
