Hypervitaminosis D may produce symptoms of hyperparathyroidism.2. The therapeutic use of vitamin D is rational only in conditions of known deficiency.3. Animals experimentally treated with vitamin D concentrates have shown extensive calcium deposits in various tissues, and other pathological changes have been found. There is, thus, danger of permanent injury to human subjects.It is not the purpose of this paper to discuss...Bibliography1.
