Torrent trackers (but not tpb usually). Just search some books on the topic you are interested in and that's it. For example, I used to have 2 medical problems which I have successfully solved using this method. One medical problem of mine I have solved completely and what about another I can prove you there is just no cure (despite of some doctors promise me that they can do it for $$$). That was a lot of reading but no other search engine on Earth can really search any medical stuff and no forums allow to discuss medical problems without a stupid censorship kind of "somebody might hurt yourself if he found this discussion by some wrong reason so we ain't allow you to discuss your medical stuff here".

Do you mean public or private trackers?

  rutracker.org with my ability to read Russian as my mother language did as much for my education as rest of the Internets. But you may meet some English content there as well, or not language-depended content like music.

Maybe Facebook? I believe there are a ton of semiprivate support groups for different health conditions. But I guess one might need a starting point to be able to find a relevant one since they are specialized.

  Heh I’ve found that the overlap between “medical” anything and charlatans/mysticists/anti-vaxxers is pretty high on Facebook. This may or may not be a feature, depending on the individual.

I've also found that the best way to avoid search spam is to ignore the web entirely and go to well-reviewed books about my topic of interest. I tend to search for books on Amazon or Abebooks, check out the reviews, and then buy them if the price is reasonable, order them at my local library, or download them from LibGen if they're hard to get or too expensive. It takes longer, but the quality of information is much higher. For example, I was learning about wine recently—the web is full of SEO-optimized junk about wine, but there are many excellent books on the topic. Snippets in Google Books are also quite useful if I don't need a full book.
