Just when I was waking up this morning and was still in a kind of dream world and before I opened my eyes, my body suddenly received a big jolt and it felt like the house had been hit by a truck.
It was very frightening but it didn’t harm me in any way physically.
What happened, and what was the cause?

Bats, Dolphins, and Mole Rats Inspire Advances in Ultrasound Technology.
Frogs and dogfish have previously helped scientists to understand how to take care of human injuries, and researchers now hope that a dolphin’s remarkable ability to self-heal will provide an even greater insight.
Michael Zasloff, M.D., Ph.D., who is a Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) scientist, interviewed dolphin handlers from around the world and discovered dolphins’ "remarkable" and "mysterious" ability to heal themselves, an ability that he says was previously poorly documented.
Zasloff asked as part of his research.
"How does the dolphin not bleed to death after a shark bite?".
"How is it that dolphins appear not to suffer significant pain?".
"What prevents the infection of a significant injury?".
"And how can a deep, gaping wound heal in such a way that the animal’s body contour is restored?".
"Comparable injuries in humans would be fatal".
In part of his research he ponders if a diving mechanism, (known as "diving reflex") that diverts blood from the periphery of the body during a dolphin’s deep plunge down in water depths, might be triggered due to an injury.
In conclusion, he says that the dolphin’s healing ability is less like human healing, and more like regeneration.
Zasloff demonstrated how quickly dolphins heal from severe shark injuries by documenting the case histories of two dolphins that had been bitten by sharks at the Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort in Moreton Island, Australia.
Trevor Hassard, director of Tangalooma said after reading Zasloff’s report that.
"Perhaps it will bring the dolphin’s remarkable healing capacities to the attention of the medical research community".
Says Zasloff.
"My hope is that this work will stimulate research that will benefit humans,""I feel reasonably certain that within this animal’s healing wounds we will find novel anti-microbial agents as well as potent analgesic compounds".
Many weird and wondrous things are known about Dolphins, and wouldn’t it be wonderful if we learn to better heal ourselves, from them.
