We circle back to the documentary "Cliff 20". Since our audience has grown so much, I wanted to re-introduce Technology North and their CEO Ling Huang, the center-point of Cliff 20. Also, the documentary is free on YouTube, and I highly recommend it. Also, I re-play a quick clip from Dr. John Young, who has a fascinating tip about Vitamin D, which I think is so under-discussed in the Autism family community.

We talk with Dr. John Young from the Young Foundational Health Center in Largo, Florida about his research on the Autistic brain and Vitamin D, Iron and Protein. www.YoungFoundationalHealth.com
