I know that the mercury blood test isn't considered that meaningful in terms of chronic exposure.
However, I had a blood test taken within a week of having my last amalgam out. The test showed very little blood mercury.
Can I take this as a good sign that the removal process was clean and didn't expose me to much additional mercury? Or is the blood test just not that indicative of anything?

It just means that there was no mercury in circulation at that time. The urine challenge test is a better way to determine how much mercury is in our body, but even then you could have more buried in layers and it may not show up until after you have chelated the current layer out. Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> But the good news is, you are on the right track!!! Keep up the good work!!! Sandi xoxo

There are certain indicators that you can look for in the blood that indicate high mercury, for example, high calcium.
You can also have a urine test for high porphorins.
