Huber Page ISBN : 9780465050680 New from $21.74 Format: PDFFrom Publishers Weekly
Digital and biochemical revolutions have made it possible to decode what ails us and help determine the remedy—if only Washington and the FDA would get out of the way—argues Huber, a lawyer and senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, in this provocative, optimistic look at modern medicine. He envisions a free-market ideology for drug development and usage that, thanks to digital technology, will cheaply design new drugs and predict how well they perform and on whom. But Huber, who popularized the term junk science with his 1991 book Galileo's Revenge: Junk Science in the Courtroom, believes Washington nudges doctors away from the Hippocratic oath to prescribe regimens for the good of my patients and toward veterinarian ethics—the sick dog's treatment is determined by the master's willingness to pay. There's no middle ground in the war between the 20th and 21st century medicine, Huber believes—we must choose between medicine that deals with biochemical reality or is favored by crowd doctors who cling to the view that if they scrutinize, track, certify, and choreograph things just right, they can deliver better medicine to all from afar. Huber's challenge is sure to spark controversy as the U.S. adapts to the Affordable Care Act. (Nov.)
Review
“Our ability to read the genetic code heralds a transformation of modern medicine. Yet many potential medical miracles remain throttled….[Huber’s] ardor for invigorating pharmaceutical progress is apparent on every page.”
—Booklist
"Intriguing."

“A provocative, optimistic look at modern medicine… Huber’s challenge is sure to spark controversy as the U.S. adapts to the Affordable Care Act.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A must read for physicians, patients, biotech investors, and healthcare politicians, The Cure in the Code is the most important policy book of the decade, and it could only have been written by Peter Huber, a polymathic master of both the deadly menace and huge promise of bioscience, and scathing critic of the blindness of healthcare bureaucracy.”
—George Gilder, author of Knowledge and Power: The Information Theory of Capitalism
“A thoughtful and compelling account of how the federal government’s current regulatory science is not only outdated, but risks hampering scientific efforts to combat diseases at the molecular level. Marshaling insights from medicine, law, and economics, Huber makes an urgent case for how to improve the drug and therapy regulatory system to better equip physicians with innovative treatments that meet critical patient needs.”
—Tom Coburn, M.D., United States Senator from Oklahoma
“Peter Huber is one of only a handful of public intellectuals with a deep understanding of science, economics, and the law. In The Cure in the Code, Huber explains scientific advances in molecular biology and genetic engineering, the economics of pharmaceuticals and medicine, and the intersection of all of these with FDA law and policy. This is a key guide to the promise of personalized medicine—personalized down to the genetic level—and also to the policies that can deliver that promise.”
—Alex Tabarrok, Professor and Bartley J. Madden Chair in Economics, George Mason University
“Peter Huber has eloquently portrayed the transition of medicine from art to science in the 21st century. But The Cure in the Code offers much more as he illuminates the changes that must occur in the research, regulatory, reimbursement ecosystem if the promise of cures is to be fulfilled.”
—Andrew von Eschenbach, Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (2005-2009)
