Previous comments I made on this (my oncology buddy shot me right down, see above):
Additional reading and review I've done indicates the prion issue is more theoretical than the fact that urinary-derived hCG has a whole host of growth factors/cytokines the concentrations of which are highly variable and depend on manufacturer and batch. I've attached a few pertinent publications for your review if interested (perhaps you have already read them). Interesting that urinary-derived hCG now being trial for immunosuppression with various ailments (see second attachment). This researcher has spent a bit of effort summarizing his findings: xttp://hcglab.com/hcg-the-root-of-human-evolution/using-hcg-as-a-dietary-aid-or-as-a-anabolic-steroid-promoter/ He's recently written a book on it: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) - 2nd Edition
My reading of relevant literature is there is a lot of correlation/causation in the literature wrt to hyperglycosylated hCG and beta-core fragment and its effects on the body. Clearly, there is a lot of other growth factors/cytokines in the u-hCG but I don't see the FDA getting too worried about it after being on the market for 50 years?? Maybe they should. Checking the FDA orange book I see u-hCG was last approved in 1982. A lot has been learned since then regarding various forms and degradation products of hCG. I realize risk vs reward for any medication.
From Yarram 2004:

Based on this, you are in catch 22 whether you use rhCG or uhCG.
Note you will see the website linked above is now long done.
