You can't string together a bunch of similar sounding truths and come to some logical conclusion that x and y are the same due to the similarities of those discrete and sepperate items, it just doesnt work that way, and nobody in the medical commnity would accept that kind of logic as proof of any means that it was even close to expressing some truth of any kind...I'm not trying to be overly argumentative about this, but to make these statements you need to have some sort of proof that these things are linked, not just that they seem like they are linked...
If I get bit by a dog, and that dog is black, it doesnt mean that if my friend gets bit by a dog, that dog will be black or purple or whatever, it just means that he was bit by another dog, and that it is possible to be bitten by dogs, yet not all dogs bite, and not all dogs that bite are black, though there are some similarties between the events they dont go very far to make any certainties about future predictions.
