Clinical deficiency in vitamin D3 for prolonged periods eventually manifests as rheumatoid arthritis-like symptoms including joint aches, stiffness, sore ankles, and difficulty making a fist; physicians often misdiagnose this as true rheumatoid arthritis and prescribe corticosteroids, which initially reduce inflammation but then damage joints (like termites) and lead to predictable joint replacement in approximately 6 years.

“Clinical deficiencies in in vitamin D3 for prolonged periods of time eventually present as rheumatoid arthritis-like symptoms. People get joint aches and pains and and stiff and sore ankles and they have a hard time making a fist...very often a doctor will diagnose you based on your medical history...they'll say, 'You've got rheumatoid arthritis.' And they put you on on things like corticosteroids.”
