The Placebo Effect - What is it? Does it really work?

We've all heard of the "Placebo Effect" but what is it, really?  How does it work and does it really work?
We are going to begin study of this perception issue and, hopefully, answer these questions and more.  Your assignment is to read and evaluate one of the articles from the link below.
Your response should include:
1. explain what is meant by "placebo effect".
2. explain what the article is telling us - what did you learn from the article?
3. how do you see this topic relating to the overall topic of perception?

Include one picture illustrating your response and site your article by including the link in your posting.
