I've raised enough money to have the Alchemist film developed, though not yet enough to have it transferred to HD. Today I'm taking the film over to PostWorks NYC where I'm dropping it off for development. I have the first 3 rolls developed, but there are 5 more that need developing-those are the ones I'm taking.
The first 3 rolls of film were from the woods of PA, where the Alchemist encounters the Woman.
The last 5 rolls are from a basement in Phila, PA, known as the Alchemist's Apartment, where the Alchemist boils chemicals and works toward forming Gold.
I need to raise about $1500 to have the film transferred to HD. I've started up a paypal donation option, that is how I've obtained some funding. The site is http://www.caitdavis.com/amg.html
The amazing 'discovery' was apparently made when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a serious tumour.
Mr Sidorkin had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood. Doctors were convinced he had cancer.
"We were 100 per cent sure," said Vladimir Kamashev, a surgeon in Izhevsk in the Urals. "We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour.
"I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery."
Before removing part of the man's lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue.
"I thought I was hallucinating," said Mr Kamashev. "I asked my assistant to have a look: 'Come and see this – we've got a fir tree here'. He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things."
Medical staff said that Mr Sidorkin must have inhaled a seed, which later sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung.
The spruce, which was said to be touching the man's capillaries and causing severe pain, was removed.
"It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me," said Mr Sidorkin. "I'm so relieved it's not cancer."
There was no independent verification of the surgeon's claims.
