pH21

pH21 is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting water conservation, education, and sustainable practices through the use of pH-balanced water. Founded in 2005 by Dr. Robert O. Becker, a former professor of orthopaedics and biomedical engineering, the organization aims to raise awareness about the importance of properly balanced water for human health, agriculture, and the environment.

The core concept behind pH21 revolves around the idea that water with a slightly alkaline pH (around 7.4 to 8.5) may offer health benefits compared to neutral or acidic water. The organization advocates for the use of alkaline water in daily life, suggesting that it can help neutralize acidity in the body, improve hydration, and support overall well-being. pH21 also emphasizes the environmental impact of water usage, encouraging conservation and responsible consumption.

One of pH21’s key initiatives is the distribution of free pH test strips and educational materials to schools, community centers, and public events. These resources help individuals and organizations measure water pH levels and understand the significance of balanced water. The organization also partners with researchers, scientists, and health professionals to explore the potential benefits of alkaline water and its role in sustainable living.

Critics of pH21 argue that the scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of alkaline water is limited and that the organization’s claims may be exaggerated. However, pH21 maintains that its mission is educational rather than promotional, focusing on raising awareness about water quality and conservation without making definitive health claims.

pH21 operates on a grassroots level, relying on volunteers, donors, and partnerships to expand its reach. The organization’s website provides resources, research summaries, and information on how individuals can contribute to its cause. While it does not endorse specific products, it encourages people to explore water filtration and treatment options that align with its principles of sustainability and balance.
