The answer to your question about whether they work if you know it's a placebo, would appear surprisingly to be yes. There was a BBC doco late last year or early this year 'The Power of the Placebo' I think it was, that was incredibly interesting even down to how the colour of tablets or capsules can effect peoples perceptions of their effectiveness.
