Benefits of acupuncture on AF

I have noticed a number of posts relate to unsuccessful cardioversion or return of heart to normal rythmn after AF.My experience has been that 4 months after suffering an AF attack and mini stroke, I started acupuncture based on some information that in China ,it was successfully used to induce a normal rythmn without cardioversion or drugs.I found that there has been some research published in reputable science journals. ncbi.nim.nih.gov/pubmed /20807278 .I had a successful cardioversion 2 years ago and am still in regular sinus rythmn and I still have occasional acupuncture . I wonder if anyone else has had experience of complimentary medicine
