From back in the days of our youth, I’m sure we all remember the popular rock n roll song *Love Potion No.9*.

It seems there is an Elephant Man in the hill tribes of Viet-nam who has his own secret *Love Potion*.

Since he was 13, for over 50 years Ama Kong used ancient practices to tame wild elephants. Now he’s turned his talents to new endeavours. With the help of his buffalo horn, Ama is able to hypnotise elephants into submission. But since the capture of elephants was banned, another of Ama’s talents has emerged.

His knowledge of jungle plants has allowed him to develop medicinal potions.

His best seller?

A natural Viagra which has caused hundreds to journey to his remote hillside tribe. And with 21 children of his own, Ama testifies to the potency of his magic herbs.

At the time of this filming (2004) Ama was 88 years old with 125 descendants.

There is so much we can learn from people like this. There needs to be some kind of global exchange study in schools, especially for Western children, so they can see what life is like in these communities. They may not have the latest gadgets, new cars, new clothes or even the drugs and health care of the West, but they have *love and kindness* for their elders and children which blows you away.
