We would say that 75% of childhood asthma and 95% of adult-onset asthma are viral in origin. Children are adjusting to the novelty of the environment and getting their immune systems geared up to be on a defensive footing, and that is, in a sense, an invitation to miscalibrate and, if there is a karmic impulse stirring up inner concerns and qualms about everything being new and uncertain, that can trigger a bodily response to reawaken old symptoms of respiratory problems. That is why karmic influences predominate in the very young who, by and large, have not had time to get a chronic virus going necessarily in the same way adults find it almost impossible to at least avoid exposure and taking up the virus in the system. Whether or not they become symptomatic is a function of an array of variables and vulnerabilities.
