How the ingredients  fight cancer:

Celery
Contains eight families of anti-cancer compounds including  acetylenics that have been shown to stop the growth of tumor cells,  phenolic acids, which block the action of prostaglandins that encourage the growth of tumor cells and coumarins which help prevent free radicals from damaging cells.

Onions
Onions extracts are  rich in a variety of sulfides and  provide some protection against tumor growth.

Butter
Many of the saturated fats in butter have strong anti-cancer properties. Butter is rich in short and medium chain fatty acid chains that have strong anti-tumor effects. Butter also contains conjugated linoleic acid which gives excellent protection against cancer. Vitamin A and the anti-oxidants in butter–vitamin E, selenium and cholesterol–protect against cancer as well as heart disease.

Mushrooms
Mushrooms contain Beta Glucan, and have an anti cancer and anti tumour effect.They help your body with immune response.

Bone stock Bone stock contains minerals in a digestible forms, is used for the treatment of many diseases including cancer, helps the body absorb protein.  Broth is good for the digestive system.

Potatoes
New studies indicate that potatoes may be toxic to some lines of cancer cells

Thyme
Thyme contains an essential oil that is rich in thymol, a powerful antiseptic, antibacterial, and a strong antioxidant.  It contains  terpenoids which are recognized for their cancer preventive properties. Rosmarinic and ursolic acids are major terpenoids in thyme that possess anti-cancer properties.
