Is anyone interested in learning more about dolphin assisted therapy?

Question

I work with a US non-profit called living from the heart. We specialize in dolphin assisted therapy and spiritual retreats. We are opening our own wellness center which will also include a bed and breakfast at our beautiful ocean front property. DAT has been shown to improve the lives of those with ADHD, autism, cerebral palsy, arthritis (i know that from personal experience), auto immune disorders, chronic pain, headaches and more. We want to help as many people as possible with the assistance of our magnificent friend the dolphin. please contact if you are interested. [e-mail]. our website is www.livingfromtheheart.org. phone:[phone]. We have been doing this for 19 years.

for you skeptics out there, visit www.twu.edu/inspire/Aquatics/Dolphintherapy.com Prices aren't nearly as high as you think and the results can be long term. Although kitties and puppies are adorable and i have my own, Dolphins are much more powerful.

The co founder of Livng From The Heart was an MD

oops, that website is www.twu.edu/inspire/Aquatics/ Dolphintherapy.htm Another one is www.aquaticthought.com You really should get ALL the facts before bashing something that has been so helpful to a lot of children and families!

Answer 1

Those interested should see http://www.skepdic.com/dat.html to find out what is really going on.

Basically they don't have any good evidence that it's useful and what they do have doesn't show it to be any better than other animals.

It's a waste of money putting people though DAT.

Answer 2

I think a kitten or puppy would be much more economical atternitive. My dad told me that when he was in the Navy they were trying to train dolphins to act as suicide bombers since they are so good at sonar.
