OP: Thanks, removed the word "significant". I can't make any claims about the results yet. The donor sample is coming in soon so I will be able to make that comparison.

You need to know standard deviations: the standard error of the measuring device (from Biome), the standard deviation within a subject (i.e. between measurements on different places, different times in one person) and between subjects.

Until you know those, you will be unable to conclude anything from these numbers.

I pulled all the language that attempted to draw conclusions. I had removed the entire article but I received several emails from people who weren't interested in my results, just wanted to know what I did.
