Assalamu aleikum,
Reflecting on the illnesses and diseases that are bombarding humans, one can easily differentiate between the types we see, according to Islam:
1- there are issues that are obvious, and they are focused on more in terms of studying and finding cures, hence the verse {يعلمون ظاهرا من الحياة الدنيا}. It makes sense that people care about these illnesses more because of the love people have for long living {يود أحدهم لو يعمر ألف سنة}!
2- then there are those diseases that are hidden, and because they are hidden, not everyone cares for it. Allah says in the early verses of the qur'an {في قلوبهم مرض فزادهم الله مرضا}. Yet, the heart, as the prophet peace be upon him described, is a flesh that if is well maintained so is the rest of the body (ألا إن في الجسد مضغة إذا صلحت صلح الجسد كله وإذا فسدت فسد الجسد كله).
The chief of all diseases is the disease found in the heart. What we don't realize right away from this verse is that when we don't admit we have a problem, the problem increases...
Think of how long people were warned about impermissable meats and drinks... but only chaos occurs after long silences.
And from here the scholars established the principle "الجزاء من جنس العمل".
And Allah knows best.
