A level of 8 is very low. Take prescribed high dose Vitamin D 60,000 IU per week and increase sun exposure. Recheck levels in 6 to 8 weeks.

Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test

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?

I recently had a blood test, which showed that my vitamin D level is 3.2, indicating a deficiency. Which type of doctor should I consult, and what precautions should I take immediately? I am also attaching my blood test report.

Is 25(OH) Vitamin D the same as Vitamin D3? My recent report shows 25(OH) Vitamin D is 55.90. Eight months ago, my Vitamin D3 level was 13, and I took Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week for 3 months. I started taking it again for the past 1 month. Should I continue taking Vitamin D3 60,000 IU or stop now? Also, my current Vitamin B12 level is 494. Should I continue the B12 tablets or stop them?
