AFAIK it doesn't work if you know it's a placebo; you have to be fooled. Unless, I suppose, you do some hypno-trance-psychosomatic-somatopsychic-voodoo-smokeweedandlistentoPinkFloyd mind games stuff.

There is some evidence that even if you KNOW it is a placebo, it still can produce measurable physiological effects.

Placebo effect requires both believing and wanting said drug to work, to put it bluntly. 

What evidence are you basing this on?

I thought you have a degree in psychology?

On that note, it's interesting how even medical doctors get infested with myths.
