Which is what I said, only in shortened form i.e. he does not recommend taking Lugols. He does not say why it could make things worse though. dee

What Mercola acutally wrote was this:

Getting Your Iodine Levels Up

If you are iodine deficient, I recommend adding sea vegetables to your diet.

The best source of organically bound iodine that I know of is
non-commercially harvested seaweeds. The dose is about 5 grams a day
or about one ounce per week, so a pound would last about two months.

It is typically better to obtain a nutrient from a natural food
whenever possible than from a supplement, so use supplements only as a
last resort.

Some patients also report that they respond better to food-based forms
of iodine -- like seaweeds -- than the supplement forms. However, if
you are going to use a supplement I would strongly advise using
supersaturated iodine (SSKI) which is available as an inexpensive
prescription. Typically 1-3 drops a day are all that are required.

Please avoid using Lugol’s solution or iodine, as that will actually
worsen your thyroid condition.

Keeping your iodine levels optimal is particularly important if you
are a women that is contemplating pregnancy, or are already pregnant
Make sure you are taking seaweed or a prenatal vitamin with the right
amount and form of iodide, not iodine, to help protect your baby.
