Dolphinotherapy – the research concerning using dolphins for the therapy of children suffering from mental or physical diseases has been started in 70's by American scientists and neuropsychiatrists from university in Miami.. This method involves children in playing with dolphins, small patients make specific physical exercises. Ultrasounds emitted by dolphins infiltrate human tissues during such play and cause some small but beneficial changes to destroyed cells. Dolphins are interested in everything what is different: like prosthesis, cancers. They emit ultrasounds into those changed body parts regenerating distroyed tissues.
During that play with dolphins more endorphins are secreted. Endorphins are natural substances produced by pituitary. They lessen a pain, hunger and make breathing easier. They also have the influence on body thermoregulation and secretion of the different hormones. The effect of this therapy is sensational. It has helped over 15 thousand children especially these, suffering from autism. Children who could not say a word, presently speak, ride and respond to real world. Small patients laugh to get to a centre of dolphinotherapy in the age of 7 months-6 year to make the therapy successful. There are only 3 similar centres in the world, in Ukraine and USA. It takes over one year to be admitted to them.

Mammals are very friendly animals. They have a very elaborate language, with more than 4.000 different whistles. Each animal has an individual whisle, used as a name to be identified. Each group of dolphins comunicate themselves with a special dialect. No else animals in the world are able to comunicate in such elaborated way.
