Quick Read:
- The Galleri test can detect over 50+ types of cancer.
- It is a simple, routine blood test.
- Groundbreaking early detection tools like the Galleri test should be part of your broader wellness strategy that aligns with the 7 Essentials System®.
Essential #7 of our 7 Essentials System® [1] is Adopt Very Early Detection. The easiest way to heal breast cancer is to catch it very early and take strategic action. The “pink movement” has promoted mammography (learn what we recommend) [2] as the first step to early detection. But there are so many other powerful screening tools that can help you assess your health for prevention or for your healing journey.
One of these tests is: GRAIL’s Galleri multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test. It’s “a first-of-its-kind screening test that can detect a signal shared by over 50 cancer types and predict the tissue type or organ associated with the signal.”
One routine blood test that can detect 50+ types of cancer! This is revolutionary, since nearly 70% of cancers [3] have no recommended screening tests! Galleri could save countless lives, perfectly aligning with Essential #7: Adopt Very Early Detection. Needless to say, we are thrilled to tell you all about it!!
The Galleri Test & All The Details A Breast Cancer Conqueror Should Know.
Share this with your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers—everyone should know about how to detect most types of cancer with a simple blood test.

First, let’s go over the name of the test: GRAIL’s Galleri® MCED Test. The test was invented by Illumina, a world leader in biotech, and they created a separate branch, GRAIL, [5] as in to be the holy grail, for cancer detection. The MCED part stands for: Multi-Cancer Early Detection.
Second, here are the main points to know about the Galleri test:
- Very early detection: It’s a liquid biopsy that can detect cancer before symptoms appear.
- Scans your DNA: Galleri screens over a hundred thousand DNA sites in the most informative DNA regions.
- Detects 50+ types of cancer: The simple annual blood test screens for more than 50 types of cancer, and here’s the complete list [6].
- Super clear results: Test results report either: “No cancer signal detected” or “Cancer Signal Detected.” If a cancer signal is found, results can also predict the tissue type or organ associated with the cancer signal.
- Precise and accurate: The Galleri test has a false positive rate of just 0.5% among those without cancer. This means that if 200 people who don’t have cancer get the test, only one person will receive a false positive test result. Learn more via the website. [7]

Pricing.
The cost of the Galleri® test may vary depending on the healthcare practice or provider who orders the test. The list price for the Galleri test is $949. At this time, many health insurance plans do not cover the cost of the test, but we are hoping that this changes in time.
However, you may be able to use your FSA/HSA (flexible spending account or health savings account) to pay for the test. They also offer flexible payment options that can assist you with 0% interest for up to 12 months. Please click here [9] to learn more.
Essential #7: Adopt Very Early Detection.
Our main motto: TEST. Don’t guess and stress.
Early detection is very important in a breast cancer healing journey so that you can take strategic action as soon as possible. The Galleri test is a safe, effective, and accurate way to detect cancer, especially for the 70% of cancer types not commonly screened for.
The American Cancer Society reports [10] that the five-year survival rate for many cancers is dramatically higher when the disease is caught early. For example, breast cancer has a five-year survival rate of 99% when localized, but this drops sharply once it spreads to distant organs. But we are here to walk alongside your long, happy, and vibrantly healthy life! This is why we dedicate endless resources to providing free podcasts [11], blogs [12], recipes [13], and affordable online programs [14] all based on our 7 Essentials System® [1] so you are well equipped for complete healing!
As for adopting very early dedication, luckily, we live in a time of innovation and options! There are many safe and accurate testing options to detect cancer before symptoms appear, as well as tests to help you monitor your healing. If you are curious why mammograms are not on the list below, please review this blog post. [2]
More tests for early detection and monitoring healing:
- SonoCiné. The SonoCiné AWBUS scan provides greater visual detail of breast tissues, including the axilla (underarm/lymph nodes). This is extra helpful for 45% of women with dense breast tissue (read this blog if you have dense breasts or implants [15], as mammograms often have trouble providing clear and detailed images. Learn more about The SonoCiné AWBUS here [16].
- Thermography. Digital infrared thermographic imaging (DITI) can spot physiological breast cancer signs 6 to 8 years before any palpable mass appears. Learn more about thermography here [17].
- Signatera™ For Breast Cancer. This blood test can inform if the cancer is shrinking, growing, or coming back, and can detect cancer 6 months before a CT scan. Please learn more about Signatera™ for Breast Cancer here [18].
- Onconomics Plus RGCC. This test provides crucial information on the presence of circulating tumor cells (part of cancer stem cells) and their concentration in people with a confirmed diagnosis of specific forms of cancer, including breast, colon, and prostate cancer. It will also tell you which natural (and pharmaceutical) substances would help your body the most. Learn more about RGCC tests here. [19]

Our system has 7 parts because while very early detection is critical, so are doing other things such as taking strategic supplements, reducing toxic exposure, treating food as medicine, etc. As we always say, “One thing did not cause the cancer, and one thing will not heal it.” Meaning, true recovery requires a complete transformation of your body, mind, and soul—not just getting rid of the lump.
Therefore, groundbreaking early detection tools like Galleri® should be seen as part of a broader wellness strategy.
Other strategies to include in your wellness warrior strategy that align with our 7 Essentials System®:
- Mindfully eat. Being intentional about what you eat because it can either starve or feed cancer. Review these blogs for our recommendations [20].
- Reduce toxic exposure. We live in a highly toxic world—from chemicals in tap water and beauty products to even cancer treatments and dental care. Your body often can’t handle flushing out all the toxins, so detoxing is necessary for drainage, healing breast cancer, and preventing illnesses. For detoxing, we recommend coffee enemas [21] and reviewing these blogs [22] to learn about safer products and therapies.
- Balance energy. By energy, we also mean hormones, nervous system, sleep, mental health, and the ability to manage stress.
- Heal emotional wounds. Your emotions (energy in motion) and trauma can be “trapped” in your body, and that effect can lead to body pains, sickness, and dis-ease. Learn how to heal and release trauma and stress with therapeutic techniques via these blogs [23].
- Detox your mouth. The breast-dental connection is so strong that we can confidently say about 90% of our clients have had adverse health effects from mercury-filled amalgams, root canals, cavitations, and other dental toxicities. Learn about why you should see a biological dentist, [24] and more ways to heal your mouth: [25] the gateway to your body and your breasts.
- Take strategic supplements. There are specific plants and supplements that actively kill cancer cells, reduce tumors, detoxify, and strengthen your immune system. Learn all about them here [26] and via our 10-Week Transformation [14] program starting soon.
