Sea Salt / Lemon /Coconut Oil While Fasting?

Good morning/afternoon.

Well I am back, with all your wonderfull help I had a good 2 weeks fast 2 months ago.

Since then I've changed my nutrition, heavily influenced by the low-carb/paleo diet approach (also inline with Weston price/Nourishing Traditions/Sally Fallon if you know this approach) and I am ready for a small one week or two week fast.

Just started this morning, and I'm putting into practice the approach of active fasting!

I have 3 questions:

One is about mineral loss, should I concern myself about it? I've come across this Doctor Batmanghelidj who talks about a watercure with sea salt:

For every quart of water you drink, it is necessary to add 1/4 teaspoon of salt (not table salt). It is recommended that you use either RealSalt® (all natural sea salt) or Celtic Sea Salt, which has approximately 80 minerals.

I have been using Hymalayan salt since a couple of weeks ago, so I would use this one.

Second I've been incorporating Coconut oil in my nutrition for its many health benefits, among which being a medium-lenght-chain fatty acid, which doesn't need to be digested and is used directly as fuel.

Can I take it during the fast (I also take cod liver oil) either by ingestion or rubbing it in?

This article combines some salt with coconut oil while fasting:

And lastly this article mentions ''Lemons and limes are natural detoxifiers and help cleanse the liver'' Would that perturb the stomach shutdown?

Thanks for your thoughts on this!
