Because they think that what they have taken will make them feel better any improvment is thought to have been caused by the placebo but if they have a disease that is only curable by drugs then they can not be cured by a placebo. A good metephor for this is: say you are going to meet someone in a cafe. You sit and wait and anyone who looks similar to the person you are waiting for you think for a brief moment is them. This is because you are waiting for that person. BUT if you have the wrong date (The placebo) then you will not be seeing the person you were waiting for (the cure)

Why are scientist using a placebo?

Scientists use a placebo to check that the variable they are changing actually is responsible for the results they see. It is like a control experiment, allowing you to compare the trial with it to see if there is any effect. It also counteracts the "placebo effect". For example, this is when someone taking a drug calims they "feel better" despite the drug not actually having any effect. Therefore, by giving some test subjects a placebo and some the drug being tested and not telling them which is which, you can eliminate the placebo effect from the test.
