"Likely"? It's possible, but do you have any evidence for this? There could easily be other explanations and to determine something as likely needs more than a feeling of it making sense.

In earlier times, people thought it's "likely" that if you have a disease then it would help by getting rid of a lot of blood. That made sense, blood carries lots of things, and making fresh blood surely must help recovering. Turns out, nope, people die quicker from blood letting.
