Body chemistry is further confused by the fact that the body has a "set
point" for blood levels of calcium, and if you don't get enough or what
you take in is not properly utilized the body will remove calcium from
the bones to maintain the blood levels. So I believe that blood levels
of calcium and other minerals are not a very good indicator of what is
really going on, or what the state of calcium in the body really is.
Blood levels are therefore not totally reliable, but a poor tool is
better than none, maybe.
I myelf have been going by The Metabolic Typing Diet, which gives
examples of different metabolic types needing different supplementation
or diets that sometimes contradicts the blood results. There really is
no "one size fits all" way to deal with mineral imbalances, or even
vitamin deficiencies according to that book.

Without a proper calcium/phosphorus ratio, mammals can't properly use

phosphorus and don't need to worry about it, but I wonder if that is
really true.
Right now my phosphorus levels are low, both absolutely and relative to
calcium. The problem I'm overcoming is apparently calcium overload. I'm
supplementing with bioavailable calcium and avoiding all inorganic
sources. As I'm slowly getting rid of the precipitated calcium, the
phosphorus levels are supposed to rise.
It's not easy to bring up phosphorus levels. It's supposed to take
months.
Body chemistry is not simple. <sigh>
