Agreed 100%.
You need to make sure you do NOT have TPO or thyroid antibodies. If you have Hashimoto's then pouring extra iodine on top of that without treating the underlying cause of thyroid autoimmune disease will just kill the thyroid faster.
If you start doing over 1mg/d starting from zero, you need to ensure enough other minerals for enzymatic action to balance the thyroid iodinases. Most important ones are Se, Mg, Zn, Na , Fe, Ca and P. Selenium being perhaps the single most important.
Start slow, and go up slow, give body time to adjust.
Measure tissure saturation (blood, skin absorption test) regularly and when saturated , go to your maintenance dose.
Imho, the safest forms are seafood (esp. shrimps , mussels), purified sea water (e.g. Quinton) and standardised seaweed pills (Kelp, radioactivity free).
