Can you live with out thyroid gland or a synthetic thyroid?

Yes, you can live without the gland, but would have to take thyroid daily to make up for the lack of production of thyroid by your body. The thyroid is your bodies thermostat and it controls your bodies metabolism. Without it, you would become severely hypothyroid and you would eventually go into a coma and die. Your thyroid helps control your nervous system, regulates heart rate and blood pressure. The thyroid controls your bodies temperature and regulates the calcium in the body, which is needed for your muscles to move, including the heart. It also regulates calcium to strengthen bones. It is needed to regulate mental health and if you become hypo or hyperthyroid, you could become psychotic or severely depressed. As you can see, it is very important, and all mammals need it or thyroid hormones to survive. I have had thyroid cancer and no longer have my thyroid... I take synthroid daily to provide my body with the necessary hormones. Thyroid hormones are absolutely necessary to live.




if you don't get what I am saying than no you cannot and do not ask again.
