Life Support:Disease

[Dead guy on tab]

I think I know the answer, but I just wanted to check:

 

A character is hit with a continuous BODY drain defined as a wasting disease. The character turns on LS:Disease after he has taken a couple of hits. Does the life support offer any benefit to a) the previous damage or future damage? Thanks,

Assuming the attack is defined as an NND/AVLD with Life Support as the defense, activating the Life Support (assuming it wasn't already on -- LS is Persistent, of course) would stop further damage from a Continuous disease attack. It would not "heal" any damage already taken. And of course if the attack isn't bought with LS as a defense, LS won't help the character at all.
