I have heard of studies showing the placebo medicine works even when the subject KNOWS it is a placebo. I'll try to find those; but I have a lot of feeds related to science...
Paul Keith:
I wouldn't doubt that. People tend to doubt their skepticism if they don't know how to verify it.
Often times it's easier to hope on a cure (assuming taking it means little to no cost plus massive gains)
We see this all the time with health drinks, religious atmosphere and even productivity systems. (and hell...web marketing)

The thing you have to watch out for are counterfeit placebos!! I hear IBM is going to bar code every pill and log it into a world wide database to ensure only genuine placebos are distributed in the third world.
