PUNA, Hawaii (Wireless Flash) -- Dolphins may have the power to alter our DNA and switch our genes "on" and "off" to help us heal.
That's the fishy claim of dolphin researcher Dr. Michael Hyson, who says that the mammals can generate sound and electromagnetic fields that can have a positive effect on human DNA to help treat diseases like autism, cerebral palsy and depression.
Although Hyson can't explain how dolphins know which genes to turn "on" and "off" to treat humans and admits "it's a hypothesis," he claims dolphins have treated humans this way for thousands of years.
In fact, he says a dolphin helped him heal a couple of painful dislocated vertebrae by sending "sonar pulses" towards him when he was swimming with the creature.
While there have been a few cases of Adolph Hitler-type Flippers who hurt humans instead of helping them, Hyson insists this is very rare.
