The Shandong Dong'e Ejiao Co, China’s largest ejiao (donkey-hide gelatin) maker (by market share), gave 500,000 yuan worth of Fu Fang Ejiao Jiang, a syrupy ejiao compound, to victims of dengue fever in Shandong province, on Oct 9.
Lin Lifeng, of Guangdong province’s Center for Disaster Control and Prevention, explained that the dengue virus is a mosquito-borne, potentially fatal disease that causes fever combined and muscle and joint ache. It has the ability to inhibit the natural immune response during infection and has many nonstructural proteins that allow the inhibition of the natural immune system response.

Fu Fang Ejiao Jiang can have an effect on dengue fever sufferers by alleviating the inhibition of bone marrow and restoring the hematopoietic system, according to You Sufu, a public health expert from Indonesia. In addition, clinical statistics show that Fu Fang Ejiao Jiang has been the first choice in traditional Chinese medicines for treating dengue fever in Indonesia, by improving hemoglobin and lowering hematocrit to a stable level.
