Added a paragraph on current understanding of Placebo effects #18

The paragraph on Placebo effects is IMHO outdated so I took the liberty of writing a paragraph summarizing more or less recent evidence + a reference. Hope you like it, but no pressure to include it :-).

Also a disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, although I hang out with a few (which is where my knowledge of the topic originates).
