I came across this very same 4chan post not long after it was written and just had it in the back of my mind. A while later, I had to pad an order to get free shipping and threw in a bottle of the cheapest iodine they had.
I had no idea what it was supposed to do. My short attention span and limited retention left only the message, "We're deficient in iodine because it used to be in Morton's iodized salt when no one knew what it meant and no one uses Morton's any more."
So I expected nothing and began to titrate with 1 drop a day. I never noticed any other effect, but after a week I began to sleep like a baby again. The stuff is powerful, and I'm only up to 5 drops of it in some water before bed. I've experimented backing off to 4 drops and I can easily tell the difference. Falling asleep is never a problem, nor is light, noise, etc.
As stated, I use the cheap stuff, about $7 for a 2oz bottle of "potassium iodine & iodide". That bottle lasts for longer than I can possibly remember when I bought it. Maybe there are better ones, but the cheapest stuff does the trick for me.
Meanwhile... I've always used iodized salt and still do, no goiters or other issues.
I also don't drink fluoride.
