VLPI Develops Home Test for Bioterrorism

MATTHEWS, N.C., Oct 15, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Vital Living Products,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VLPI) d//b//a// American Water Service, Inc. announced
today it has been working on developing a test for detecting bioterrorism.
Donald R. Podrebarac, President and CEO of Vital Living Products, Inc. said,
"The attacks on America have presented a challenge for American industry to
develop tools that our nation and the rest of the world can use to fight
terrorists. We have met that challenge."

He continued saying: "We will hold a press conference at the Friar's Club, 57
East 55th St. in New York City, at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, October 23, 2001, to
present, demonstrate and advise the availability of the consumer test we have
developed." Friar's Club phone number is (212) 751-7272.

The test will allow people to check air, surfaces and water providing results at
home or in the workplace. Mr. Podrebarac concluded saying, "This early detection
test will help people better protect themselves and their families against
bioterrorism. As was commented yesterday on 'Meet the Press' regarding
bioterrorism, it's about preparedness not panic."
