Well, either the change in your DNA is due to the usage of non-
prescription pharmaceuticals OR if you have undergone some sort
of medical examination by extraterrestrials (you know, probes
in... THAT area). Of course, the results could be suspect un-
less performed by a certified genetics lab. (Oh, wait! You
said something to that effect. Nevermindthen.)

I think you got it figured out: sample the various tests and see
how they align with each other and the paper trail as you put it.
