This is severe deficiency. Vitamin D3 supplements needed (usually 60,000 IU/week for 8 weeks) under doctors advice. Monitor sun exposure.

If vitamin D increased from 32 to 138 in a month, is that a cause for cancer? He also has acute back pain and said that his bones are dissolving into his blood, which is why his vitamin D increased so much?
